Thanks

I have talked to several people about how to winter plumeria over the years. There seems to be several ways. I have several plants that I have had for many years, I have tried it several ways. The best way that I have found is to just leave them in the pot, somewhere above about 50 degrees (although mine have gotten colder and not been harmed), and ignore them. Some people say you should water them during the winter. From what I have found, water them only if they start to look a little shriveled. I have also bare rooted them. But it seems like the flowers are more stunted and it takes a while for the leaves to come in. Thanks for "listening" to me ramble.
