The first plumeria was introduced into Hawaii in It was a yellow brought in by Wilhelm Hillebrand, a German physician and botanist who lived in Hawaii from to Plumeria is the most common flower that you'll find in Hawaii since it is used in most leis that are given to visitors.
What are some different names for the plumeria? The Plumeria can be grown anywhere in the world since it can either be a 20 foot tree if you live in the warmer climates, or it makes a fantastic potted plant for your patio deck, screen pool, balcony or driveway. The Plumeria only grows to the size of the pot. In climates where it freezes, you can either bring the plumeria inside to keep it growing in the winter, or you can put it in the closet or basement and it will go into a dormant state.
Bring the Plumeria out when it warms up next spring, and it blooms bigger than the year before. Plumerias are unique plants in a way that they can be lifted from the ground or pot and stored overwinter in a heated basement or garage. They go completely dormant during the colder months of the year needing no watering or fertilizing. The plumeria can also be grown successfully indoors all year long with the use plant lights which create the tropical sunlight that they enjoy in their natural habitat.
The plumeria, with its very thin root system, and it will only grow to the size of the pot. Up north, people will put their plumeria in 5 to 10 gallon and end up with an awesome deck plant. I hope to be able to move it outside next later next month. The nighttime temps are still getting a bit low for it to live outside all the time.
The window faces East-ish, so it gets mainly morning light, and direct light in the later morning. The bud has grown a bit since last week, and is elongating upward.
So, all and all, the bud has just gotten bigger. Same light schedule. Bud has grown a bit, but mainly elongated. New leaf starts have appeared below the bud.
Bud has grown a fair amount. Elongated, and individual flower buds are now highly visible. Leaf starts from last year have begun dying off, and new ones that appeared last week are elongating.
I expect there will be full on leaves by next photo. So, watered 1 week ago. Light schedule for the fluorescent is the same, but obviously the days have been getting longer. As expected, there are now 2 open leaves, and 2 more on the way. Light levels are the same, and all and all, it looks very healthy. Obviously there are now 3 leaves, and at least 2 more on the way.
Judging from the leaves, and the overall health of the plant, I can probably water again this week. Light levels are the same, but I did move the plant over a bit since one of the leaves was bumping into the sliding glass door.
I watered today, a bit, so as to keep things from slowing down too much. Now at week 9. Things should be opening anytime now. Since last week, the rain has cleared up, so it should be getting more light throughout the day rather than it being overcast and rainy. I watered it quite a bit last week as the trunk was showing some tenderness, as well as pretty significant wrinkling.
It firmed back up within a day and has been doing well since. One leaf has been looking like it should be opening any time since last week sometime. Well, on Sunday between Week 10 and Week 11 I got the first actually open bloom. I did however move the artificial light from shining at one side to shining directly down on it.
This is significantly more than it would be getting in Hawaii at this time a year or any time really , as the solar day in Honolulu right now is about So, thanks for reading.
So, a week later, I have nearly a full flower stalk, and more opening each day or two. Are you on Pinterest? I have boards dedicated to Flowering Plants and Garden Ideas that you may find interesting.

I think, because of the yellow walls, light beige can easily look dirty or kind off weird. That is why I liked the first table! Well, it has been a year now, and no one has dealt with your much needed site planning. In the future, create an outdoor room between the large tree, the large evergreens and the kitchen, much like Denita was suggesting, last year. You might want to put some gates near the end of your driveway, perhaps 20' in toward the house so you can park at the end of the drive , to block it off while your son enjoys the paved play space in safety.
These gates can be just fence sections on 4x4 feet to just move aside when you use the garage, before and after playtime. Looking at the mockups by Everything Beautiful, I agree that tall plantings at the corners of the drive, perhaps open to view at eye level to check the sidewalk and street before leaving the driveway. With this idea in mind, take a look out your front bedrooms toward the street to see how this enhances your view of the neighborhood, and enhances the seclusion of the future terrace by the front door.
About 30 years ago at our monthly library volunteers meeting we were asked our favorite book. I was the new volunteer -- the other eight said "Clutter's Last Stand! I had to read it -- it changed my life! I considered it my other bible, and once found a copy in a religious book store ;.
