Hi all,

I've been trolling this forum for quite some time and always found it interesting. I live in southern Indiana and have a dozen or so plumeria ranging from 3 to 6' tall in pots. Getting blooms now that its getting colder and have to worry about the evening temps, but such is life.

My question is: for the past several years, I bring the plants in and have them on my kitchen cabinets where there is a good sized window (sort of a sky light, but bigger and facing south) so they get sunlight for several hours a day. They never go completely dormant. Would it be better to leave them potted and take them to the basement, leave them in the window to poke along during the winter before sending them outside in Spring or de-container them and let them dry out?

The taller/multi-headed ones will need to be trimmed back sometime too.

Thanks,
Paul
