Newbie Plumeria owner question

[Mandy2705]

I just bought this rooted NOID Plumeria cutting that I repotted into another pot of my own. After a month, it seems to be growing new leaves and a possible flower? I have never grown these before and I don't know what to expect. I thought the flowers coming in on a large "inflow" and not a single bud, like mine seems to be doing. Any body know what this is?

I don't think it's a Plumeria. I think it's a Euphorbia. Did somebody sell it to you as a Plumeria? At what kind of place did you buy it?

Try taking a picture from further out

Jkofferdahl, I never knew there were plumerias with a bad fragrance, Ahh! I hope I never accidentally buy one 😬 Estacion seca, I bought it at a little garden shop called Summerland Gardens. They have a HUGE pink Plumeria that they take cuttings from and sell them every year, I was lucky to get one before they sold out. I wish I took a picture because this thing is huge. I will admit, this is a weird looking Plumeria but it was the biggest and healthiest cutting available SFLguy here are some pics from a farther distance.

Nice pictures. Interesting species.
I like your background plants!

I have several plumerias, they take full sun when growing, lots of water and food. Then there's winter as soon as plant goes dormant, let plant go very dry, no food untill new growth starts in spring. In Colorado you will have to keep indoors most of the year, they like warmth and hate cold. I have several here in Los Angeles that are over 20' tall in the ground.

I am 100% certain it's a Euphorbia, one from Madagascar. Very possible E. leuconeura. A much rarer plant than a Plumeria.

The garden center may have a large pink Plumeria, but if so, this is not a cutting from that plant.

Looks like Plumeria to me though i could definitely be mistaken, definitely not E. leuconeura though, the shape isn't right for the stem and the flower bud isn't right either

[SFLguy]

But then again the flower placement is strange for Plumeria, maybe it's because it's a recent cutting?

Yes I will follow this advice, thank you. I wish I lived where I could plant them in the ground outside ❤️

ooo I looked that up online and I would be VERY happy to find out that that is what my plant is, it's beautiful.

I would be happy for either one we will have to see what these buds end up looking like when they open. How exciting...these buds will reveal once and for all what plant I have...I can't wait

Yes it's very strange, I don't know much about Plumerias but I knew that this was not right?
