Hetty, you're killing me. Not at all what I wanted to hear!

I'm not sure this Plumeria will make it to next year. This was a very mild winter. Seems most years we have 2-3 heavy frosts, so at this rate it may never bloom. Which drops it's value from maybe an eight to a one. I placed this plant in a prime spot outside my lanai. If it's not going to earn it's keep there, it'll have to go. Too many other things can occupy that spot.

Maybe I'll try a smaller cutting in a pot so it can be better protected. But I'm this ][ close to being done with it!
