Hi everyone. My question is the one in the subject line...What am I doing wrong? Perhaps I should read further back into the forum before I ask this question, but to be honest, I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong. I've grown a total of three Plumeria now...all of unknown descent...to what I feel are good sized trees, but I've never managed to get one to bloom. Two of my three plants were started out as approx. 8" cuttings...all about as big around as your thumb. Now they stand over 4 ft tall. Shouldn't they be blooming by now? Is there something that I'm not doing that is required to make them bloom? I live in Corpus Christi, Tx...Zone 9b. We still are having 90 degree days with the exception of last night which was the first time the temps have dropped below 80 degrees at night this year. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated and, if you can tell the ID of the Plumeria by the leaves I would be most grateful. I know that's hard, but I'm hoping perhaps that there are identifiers in the leaves that can steer me to at least a partial ID. Thank You!
