This the time of year when I am usually preparing to get my plumeria under cover. Well, it's been a crazy busy month. My greenhouse is still not ready for winter guests. We have had a couple nights below 40 but only for a few hours. There have been no early freeze warnings. Looking at my Plumeria who still enjoy the sunny, near-80 days, they are slowly but surely going dormant. And a lightbulb goes off! It's a lot better for them to drop their leaves outside than making a mess inside the little greenhouse space. Am I wrong to allow a slow, natural dormancy free of frost? Or should I just cart them indoors and trim off the leaves? It's been in the mid 80's in the greenhouse.
