No Blooms

9 years ago

Hey folks--I have 13 plumeria that i started from cuttings. The original finally bloomed when it reached about 4'. It hasnt bloomed again, nor have any of the others. I have tried high phosphorus food, but still no blooms. They are just getting leggy to the point, i will have to prune them & i know you aren't suppossed to do that, nor do i want to. I live in Tampa so theres no reason i can think of why they havent bloomed this summer. Any advise would be appreciated.

That one in the photo looks like it could possibly bloom next season. I'd pot it up to a larger pot though. Those roots really like to spread out.

Blooming depends on so many factors:

Light levels
Root health and development
Plumeria variety
Culture (in pot or in ground)
Plant and branch maturity
Nourishment (fertilzer)
Winter conditions (stress vs warmth and light)
Bugs
