As many of you know I am the self-professed plumeria nut here and I have a cubit dedicated to these plants. I am always happy to discuss them. I hope you'll visit my plumeria cubit when you're done here
I also almost always have seeds, plants and cuttings available for sale.

Here is one I am offering this week: Plumeria rubra 'Just Peachy' aka 'Jean Adams'

Very pretty! My DH has a small collection. They are perfuming the entire neighborhood at night right now. Sooooo nice. Here's one called 'Rim Fire'.

They are gorgeous. I started growing them from seed a few years ago, but none have bloomed yet. What would help?

Plumeria generally take appr. 3 years and up to bloom from seed. I suggest you start with some cuttings for blooms sooner!

You are probably right Dutchlady, but I haven't had any luck with cuttings and i love to watch seeds germinate. LOL

In that case, sow away!!

my personal record for plumeria .. from seed to flower is 9 months.. in zone 7...
ne... yes.. plenty of growth additives..and foods... yes...
the real spur though is... bottom heat to the pot/roots..
this plant was grown right on the hot rubber roof membrane... with air temperatures of say 90*F.. the roof temps are about 140*F,,, wth air temperatures of 98*F.. the roof it sat on was maybe 165*F.. the temperatures were recorded by my cordon bleu cooking thermometer..
the smallish pot.. sitting right on the hot roof.. and in front of a light reflectve glass.. it had cycling from wet to quite dry in a few hours.. also a growth spur..
not all seeds will do as well... but all can dramatically speeded up by this heavy bottom heat to the roots..
try growing on your tar driveway... or other such heat generator you might have...

That is impressive, Gordon.

Wow GordonHawk, that is impressive. My plumerias are on my front porch which stays hot. I think after you said that about bottom heat though, I may try to find some slate for them to sit on as well. I know I need to feed them more often that i have this summer.
Do they like to be rootbound like epi's or do they do better with larger pots?

They like to be able to spread their feet!

Thanks Dutchlady.
