I know some people can store them in the garage for the winter or the basement. Here our winters are sometimes severe enough that they would for sure freeze solid in the garage especially since we can't really close our garage doors. However this winter was not severe at all and I lost 3 or 4 plumeria (along with many other things) this winter in the greenhouse because we lost the shade cloth we had so everything got too hot repeatedly. Next winter I hope I can put the plumeria at least in the house somewhere. We don't have a basement and none of our windows get a lot of sun.
