Thank you for your suggestions. The catalpha is gorgeous. I am now thinking that mine may be a plain ol maple. I am really a novice (sort of embarrassing to be honest). I will post again with pics. Thx again!

Perhaps Cynanchum laeve. Here is a link that might be useful: Cynanchum laeve

Tami: I cut the single heart shaped leafs away from the main green stem. This leaves the stem on the plant and doesn't hurt it. Leave a little tail on the leaf so it has a little part of the stem on it and put it in the dirt. Some leafs will shrivel and die (not all will take), but just spray them a little with a spray bottle of water every other day or actually when you remember, even every day if you want-- and they will start a bulb. The leaves are pretty hardy, if you pick the bigger, more fat, thick ones, they will be better. I haven't had great luck with the actual green stems other than you can just put the trailing stems on top of a pot of dirt and it will eventually root down and create new bulbs. When this has happened, you can cut it away from the main plant. You can do this on most trailing succulents such as string of peas, rhipsalis, etc. In nature they trail along the ground to start new plants. This is my first seed pod, so we will see how that goes. I have some haworthias that I got seed pods from and have found only 1 out of 6 seeds has grown so far. But I do hear seeds can go dormant and sprout when they feel like the time is right, so I haven't given up yet!

Ok so as for now, I think I will leave the pods on the plumeria and loosely wrap some cheesecloth around them and see what happens. I was wondering if anyone has any advice as to help with my other questions. Why the oddly shaped leaves, which you can see one in my picture above. Not every leaf, but more like 3-5 per plant. I read some info regarding leaf stress disorder, which if that is what mine is, it is a very mild case compared to the pictures I saw. Also when my tree blooms, it only gets four blooms at the most, which are replaced sparingly by a couple more once they are spent. And the flowers only last like two days before shriveling up. I realize I need to fertilize, which I don't. But I also read on this forum that there is a debate with success on both sides regarding repotting in the same pot after a root trim, and potting up. I have kept my plumerias in clay pots, which are now crumbling, and I am not sure what to do here. I live in a hot desert where the temps get up into the 120s and stay there. The black florist pots I have seen recommended on here I worry would get way too hot in the sun and cook my roots. Plus I tend to overwater during the summer months, which some argue is hard to do where I live. In addition, my plumerias are inside, and the one in the crumbling clay pot looks like it isn't going to go dormant. It has almost an inch of shiny new growth at the branch tips just from this past month and a half it has been inside. Would it be ok to repot now and then wait a couple weeks before fertilizing, or should I just wait for spring? Thanks all! Cassandra
