Wonderful!

another look...

Nice tunatony, that looks like a keeper!

Thanks Rox and n.f.p
Hot temps here in San Diego! The plumeria are loving the heat and blooming well....I have another dozen plants set to flower soon.

How very exciting! Cant believe how behind things are here in Ventura. So many inflos still to get even close to opening. Really a late year.

How big / old do seedlings usually need to be before they flower? Can't wait for my seedling babies grow! Although, I'll probably run out of room for them.

n.f.p.- good question.
If I had to pick a size and age I'd say 2.5 to 3 feet tall and 4 years old as a median/average...and that's probably still a tad on the optimistic side. Of course, you have to factor in whether you're growing in a colder shorter season place or a hotter, more tropical longer season place.

If I were to start over I'd grow them fast with something nitrogen heavy, progressively upotting, lots of sun and heat, pots on concrete. Then at 2.5- 3 years of age, put the seedlings on Excalibur from Florida Colors, a time release commercial grade plumeria specific fertilizer. Putting my seedlings on Excalibur last year got me ridiculous bloom rates this year...that seems to be how it works. I used to swear by organic growing for plumeria, but all it got me were bushy green plants and alot of bugs...I'm not growing a salad.

Pictured is a (first year blooming) Rising Sun seedling. I've got three Rising Sun Seedlings blooming... and so it appears, a total of 9 first time bloomers this season!

For what it's worth: I had one bloom at two years, three bloom at 3 years, and now nine bloom at four years.

Nice veining on this seedling, like mom. Sounds like your seedling bloom rate is excellent.

Your estimate is pretty close to mine: 3-5. Mine always seem to bloom between 3-5 years old but also 3-5’ tall, lol. If I’m lucky I get blooms at 2-3’ tall, from compact parents.

Wow! You guys are all lucky. Some of my 05 seedlings have never bloomed. My 20012 seedlings never. And my 2018 seedlings are 3 inches tall...

That's great Tony! I'm gonna give seedlings a shot next year. I may start them and try growing them directly in the ground. Anyone had success with this?
