By allowing your unrooted Plumeria cutting to bloom, you may be dooming it to death. The cutting has to root before the reserve in the stem is used up. As those buds develop, energy that should be going to root production will instead be used to develop the flowers (and ultimately, seeds). In the plant world, seed production trumps growing roots every time.
