Oh I just got one of those on my purple jack plumie. First time that had happened

Quick update on the Plumeria seed pod. It's been a little over a month, and the seed pod has gotten quite a bit larger. I just wanted to share an updated photo to the one above.

Thank you for reading my post! :)

Thank you,

Congratulations. you are correct to expect an 8-10 month time frame. Dormancy does not have any impact on seed pod maturation but IMO a branch with a seed pod is less likely to bloom in the early to middle part of the following summer. For some people that may use up too much of their short growing season.

Thank you :) I'm a bit excited and will just be happy if the seed pods survive through winter. And what you stated makes sense - I'm sure the plant is routing a good bit of energy into the seed pods so it probably can't produce more flowers the following growth cycle.

The biggest issue I have experienced with seed pods over winter dormancy is accidentally knocking them off while playing Plant Tetris to get them into the greenhouse.
