| OK guys, I think I have the picture of my one plumeria where the blossoms will not open, they turn black and fall off. Also, the leaves have not opened yet. I wonder if this plumie went into shock after transplanting in a new planter - the rest of my plants are doing great.
I wonder should I cut off the inflo to allow the leaves to at least open? Hopefully I finally got a picture downloaded. Had to switch to PC from iPad. Suggestions? http://i55.tinypic.com/zqsw.jpg[/IMG] |
Here is a link that might be useful: blossoms blackening and falling off

| Where are the leaves?? Did you say this was a healthy rooted plant that you recently transplanted? How healthy was the root system prior to transplant? It almost looks like the roots were injured or lost in the process. With a compromised root system, the inflo may not be sustained. I'd be tempted to cut it off, but I don't know how bad the root damage is. The plant might come back quickly with warmth and bright light. |

| yes, This is a plant that I have had in a pot for several years. I think this is the first time it was going to bloom. The leaves are just what I think you guys are calling "claws". They haven't opened yet. Here is another picture. As far as I known the root structure was intact. I wasn't there when my husband planted it, but as you can see from the second picture, the other ones he planted are doing fine.
here is picture of the planter with 6 plants, 3 Singapore Whites, One Playful (I think) and not sure the other name, white with yellow inside
This is I think "Playful" in the same planter (It was the first to bloom, and its blossoms are all spent now)
And finally, one of the Singapore whites from the same planter:
I guess, it can't hurt to cut off the inflo, then maybe the claws will open up, give it some time in the sun before winter comes! |

| That is a really wonderful planter, what a great idea up against the wall like that! |

| Thanks. I can't wait to see what it will do in the winter. It will loose some sun, but I think the wall's warmth will do. My Singapore Whites will have leaves all winter anyway. |
