Hello, I have five packets (10 seeds each) of plumeria seeds. The packets are red orange, white with yellow center, 2 packs of white pink and yellow. I'm looking for a small clivia seedling, several leaves, 6 mo. old? can be younger. Any color flower other than common orange. As my Gardenweb implies I love clivias and have several dozen plants. I can never have too many, I'm a clivia addict. PLMK, John

Well, I'm going to be heading into the last season for several large seed-raised Plumerias that have never flowered. These are multi-branched, healthy 5-6 footers in 10-12 inch pots that get at least 8 hours of sun when outdoors in late spring to early fall, have been fertilized with full-strength bloom formula every few weeks (or in one year, every 10 days to 2 weeks), and grow a good crop of foliage - but not flowers. Any further ideas on promoting flowering before they wind up on the compost heap next fall?

Thank you Alex, for looking in on my pix! Your encouragement is greatly appreciated!..as are your wonderful garden pix..all of them! As for the plumeria pudica, I'm not sure, but is that one that does not drop its leaves in winter? I notice in your picture, it looks quite different, the leaves look darker and "bolder"! You are right about wanting more!.. My other adoptee is a one-branched creature with larger leaves on the top. As I've asked in another post, I was hoping, perhaps next spring, to cut the branch into a cutting and start a new one (the propagation bug bites too); or else maybe I should give it another year to show that it too can blossom (It has never). Thanks again. Does anyone who might have seen my pix submitted on July 12 to the gallery, have an idea of which "named" variety it might look like. I realize it doesn't prove it is; but curious! Thanks Eileen

Hi everyone, This is my first time posting to this group and I hope it is OK that I jump into this old thread. I am plantsitting five plumeria (Madagascar?) that I rescued from our office just before going into COVID lockdown. In my over-enthusiasm I put them in full sunlight on my terrace for a couple of days, and as a result, they lost almost all of their leaves over the next two weeks (the plants had been growing on our desks in the office for a couple of years and never received any direct sunlight). However, I am happy to say that, after moving them inside, four of them have sent out new leaves and are doing fine. However the fifth one only has two old leaves and no sign of any new leaves. I have noticed that although the rest of that plant seems OK, the top part where the leaf buds should appear is completely dry and brown. Note there is no sign of rotting; it is just dry. Is there anything I can do to stimulate leave growth? Should I try to score the brown part? (note that the thing to the right of the stem is a bamboo stake used to hold it up, in case that isn't clear in the photo)
