planting a plumeria at this time of year

9 years ago

Is is a good idea to plant a plumeria in the ground this time of year? I have a Key West Red that is getting too big for its pot(it keeps getting knocked over in every storm we have, taking a lot of plants on my porch with it. I can plant it in the courtyard of my apartment complex, and I think plumerias are best grown in the grown where they can grow to their full glory. I had heard the best season to plant them is spring or summer, but this plant doesn't get dormant till December or January, so I'm thinking it will still be ok?

I think it will be fine to transplant right now.

Yeah, I'm thinking of going ahead and doing it. Plumies are adaptable and tough, I'm sure it will all work out. I just have to confirm that it's ok to plant it in the courtyard.

Do you think it ok to re-pot in the Orlando area. I'm 35 miles NW of Orlando. I have a number of JJ's in 1 gal pots I would like to re-pot if you don't think it's too late.
