Hey everyone I live in Ontario Canada and I fall in hardiness zone 5. What I'm wondering is how do I get my plumeria cutting to grow ? I have it in a cactus mix in an 6-8 inch pot. What I'm finding is I have small leaves starting approx 1 inch long but fiND the plant sort of stalled there. What is the hottest it should be before moving to shade ? I have been told too use high phosphorus fertilizer and water once every 2 weeks. Does it require a lot of sun or humidity ? would you guys mind giving me some pointers please My email address is maverick2003357@yahoo.com

Hunter, No problem! Its really great to start growing plants at a young age because you have your whole life to learn about them and you have plenty of years to have a really amazing garden! Im still young so I also have a lot of time to make my yard better too! I looked at my pics back from 3 years ago and I cant believe how much more I have now! Im kind of excited to see what things will look like 10 years from now in my yard (or whatever yard I have by that time!) Im glad to hear that they are prediciting a warm fall Jim! My Cannas were blooming into the second week of november and they didnt actually die down until early december (they had a bit of frost damage in the last days of November). The longer I can keep my plants growing the better! I have about 2 full months left before the plants start winding down. Last year we had almost a week of 70s and even an 80 in october though so if that could happen again this fall, I think my plants would love it! Andy, I actually picked up the spindle palm because of the swollen trunk it had. It was definitely an impulse buy because I love the look of the swollen trunk on palms. I have a bottle palm also, but its far from getting that trunk and its my slowest growing palm in height (I think my parlor palm is faster and they are suppose to be slow growers!). Thanks Jacklord! Unfortunately I've had a big grasshopper problem this year on my plants. My Plumeria leaves have been shredded. I caught 3 baby grasshoppers and I just got an adult. I felt bad about killing it though so I drove it down somewhere far from my yard! Other than that, its been a great year for the plants and everything has been growing really healthy! I should probably feed them more often though! Thanks everyone for all the nice comments and for looking! -Alex

Yep, I think so. I was a little shocked when my husband when to the office and bought all the rest of these plants. I hate to buy anything this late in the season. We went back to buy another one, and they marked them up to $39.99, just repotted them to 3 gallon pots. He explainted to the owners wife, that we just bought one yesterday in a one gallon pot for $25, he told her that if he bought all the remaining plants from her could he get them for $25 each she said yes. So he bought the last 4. I thought we were going back for just one more. I was upset, because he did not even discuss this with me. I was just standing there waiting. He said he really likes them. I asked if I could sell any of them, and he said yes, but only one. He wants to plant 4 on the side of the house at the coast. That one is already spoken for. Barbra .

meyermike... i got mine off of ebay from a seller. I dont know if im allowed to say the name of the seller, but I will say that he currently isnt selling any plumerias right now. I have only seen him/her sell plumies 2-3 times and I was lucky that I looked for variegated plumerias when he had them. He is an American seller and I have bought plants from him in the past without problems. I try to buy only from this country when it comes to plants because of customs and things like that, you dont know what condition it will be in when it does get here. When it gets older I can definitely trade cuttings if anyone wants them, but I dont see that happening until at least this time next year since it is still pretty young. good luck!
