Can i grow plumeria in ny

Hawaiian memories in the wafting breeze Hello all! I just moved from Hawaii and brought 3 plumeria stocks with me and I'm having trouble getting them going. They havebeen in soil for 5 weeks now and they look just as dormant as before. Are they too cold, should I wait to start them until the spring? I'd so much love to join the PNW plumeria society if someone would pass along info. Grace right about this time of year they would not grow, they go into their winter dormant period and require less nurturing and less water.

Make sure they are almost dry before you give them any water. Read the posts above for wake up treatmentsome in the spring : good luck! Well Hi everyone! I will be moving to Oregon in the very near future. I will be on the coast just north of the CA border. Does anyone know if my babies are likely to thrive? Sad but the pictures didn't appear!

Aloha all! I am moving from Honolulu to Oregon and found this thread googling plumeria in Oregon. Glad there's others in same predicament. Looking to by house around Seaside- Astoria area. Maybe build greenhouse? Not sure if smaller trees bloom. Hmmm hybrid plumeria into bonsai? Like I know how to keep plants alive.

I live in the tacoma washington area, i have one plumeria that i brougjt back from hawaii, and am having some issues. Any advice would be awesomr. Dry and warm are good. So that will be hard to achieve in the PNW without a greenhouse.

Best of luck to the both of you. I have been growing mine for in Portland about years now. During the winter they live by a couple south facing windows and when the night time temps stay around 60 I move them outside semi shaded by a flowering locust tree. Last couple of years once of mine didn't even drop it's leaves in the winter. Any good advice about pruning? It is getting pretty big for it's spot. Bringing this thread up again to see if there are others who'd love to share their experience.

I live right on the ocean in the central coast. Next summer would be my first to bring my plumerias outdoors and wondering if it's going to work. We do get a fair amount of sun. Biggest problem is the wind. Even in summer it blows, but have a semi-protected spot. Probably just do some experimentation with a couple plants and roll the dice. I'm moving to Portland asap! My Dads Plumerias! So, looking around, I found you! Can anyone give me some advice???

It seems I need a basement.. I live about 3 hours from Portland but spend a lot of time there as my grandkids are there. From about May-Sept your plumerias will be happy outside. Maybe then you can let them go dormant and bring them inside, or do what I do and put them under lights. I live on the ocean and due to the wind really can't have them outside at all. But like you thinking about greenhouses. I still think you could manage with plumeria in Portland if you watch the temp carefully, have heated greenhouse or put them under lights inside.

I can't imagine that they would survive outside in SW Oregon at the beach. It's just too windy on the ocean where I live, and the temp can drop significantly even on summer nights- temps can drop into the 40's on occasion. But my daughter has two plumerias in Portland and they are outside May to Sept and back under lights the rest of the year. I'd bring at least some of your Dad's plants and see how it goes. I'm in the Portland area. You can have plumeria's here heck, I've been growing some from seeds , but as others have stated, you can let them go dormant during the winter, or bring them indoors 9 months out of the year Oct-June , or have a heated and insulated greenhouse not enough sun to really keep it warm.

Plumeria's need to stay above the 40's; they will go dormant if temps get under I've let my adult tree go dormant, it starts sprouting leaves come April indoors.

The babies are all on heat mats and under light year-round. My plumeria's thrived in direct sun during the summer I no longer have that, so the adult hasn't bloomed. I keep them under a T5 light while indoors 12 hours and the seedlings or rooting ones are on a heat mat and they're doing okay not thriving, but alive. I'm actually thinking about moving to the coast. I would think they would need more protection and kept warm. I think a greenhouse would be best. I haven't seen anything for sale around me; they have "tropical" plants, but never plumerias.

I've purchased seeds and starters online. Are you looking for seeds or something established? Since the fertilizer you will be using with your plumeria is high in phosphate but low in nitrogen, the plant will have a moderate growth rate of about one foot a year. But as the branches multiply and the leaves become dense, you will need to make sure your plumeria looks tidy and in good shape. Always remove broken branches and damaged or infected leaves.

So make space for them indoors and keep the containers inside until the weather warms up again. Signs the weather is too cold for the plant include drooping and yellowing leaves.

Plumerias like many shrubs growing in containers tend to outgrow their pots pretty quickly. The robust root system needs more space and soil to grow over time.

You should do this once every one or two years depending on how fast your plumeria grows. For a tropical shrub that grows tall as a tree, no disease seems to bother plumeria plants. The same cannot be said about pests, however. You will often see mealybugs, white flies, and spider mites making the shrub their home.

Rather than chemical pesticides, you can hose them with water, then collect the fallen insects and get rid of them in a safe manner. Search Search. Meyer Lemon and Plumeria Daniel Gill.

Many blooms fell off my Meyer lemon tree. Am I doing something wrong? What can I do in the future to prevent it? We fertilized the tree last weekend before the rain this week. Many blooms fell off about a month ago when we put fresh mulch down and now additional blooms have fallen this week.

Will a plumeria tree grow and survive in Metairie? We went to Hawaii and fell in love with it. Be the first to review this product.
