I take mine and put them in the garage when they lose allthe leaves. Don't water them at all over winter. I put them back outside when they show signs of new growth and then water and fertilize back to normal. Not too hard. I have orchids that take way more care then the plumeria.

I recently acquired some plumeria seeds. Has anyone ever started them from seed?

i would love to try growing plumeria, but the rooted plants seem a little expensive, especially the shipping costs. I understand that cuttings can be rooted, but I've never been good at root cuttings of even a regular plants like geraniums so it scares me to think of even trying it.

Never started from seed but I do have 4 big seed pods. I might try here in the next couple weeks.

They are super easy to root. I have 15 plumeria cuttings I've rooted thus far, most of which were purchased this year. They are all producing leaves.

:)

Maybe I will give them a try...but I can't even get a geranium to root!

Plumeria
 

Hi - someone recently gave me 5-6 sticks and said they were Fragipani - Is that the same as Plumeria? Anyway, I stuck them in some dirt and they all are doing fine. Is yours in the ground or pot? I just have leaves, no flowers yet. Will put pix up soon.:hello

Actually those are fairly big trees yes trees grown here. Just like pine trees. People climb these trees to pluck flowers.
For me its amazing you all try to grow trees in pots.
Thankfull for your efforts. We just fix some orchids on this trees to get blooms. And I am glad to know that they shed leaves in winter.

Frangipani is a 'common name' for Plumeria (was the person who gave you the cuttings an Australian by any chance?).
Cuttings are a really good way to get some of the more spectacular colour variants. There are heaps of specialist plumeria nurseries on the web.
For establishing cuttings I find that regular potting mix can hold too much water with resultant root rot. When I'm striking cuttings of Plumeria I use a 50/50 mix of washed sand with regular potting mix. I've never tried from seed.
