New leaf

8 years ago

My plumeria is newly rooted this past 12 months. It leafed like normal this spring but never flowered but i am ok with that the first year. It was chilly and was going to go down in the mid 30's so i brought it into the unheated garage to stay out of the frost with my other potted tropical. I was looking at it today back out in the yard on my plant table and i noticed a new baby leaf. Its not the right time...what should i do?

I say keep handling it how you have been. the new leaf is not a big deal and may mature or simply stall out. Either way it's ok.

I think it is confused. Dormancy or growth back outside?

Its back in the garage with all the other potted plants as it went down below freezing last night, still sporting the baby leaf. Its the only one that didn't bloom in the spring out of 4 new rooted cuttings and the only one growing a new leaf now. Tho the other three are yellow flowers this one i was told was suppose to be red.
