Hi,

Has anyone any experience of growing Plumeria trees in Ireland. They are succulent tropical trees also known as Frangipani. I have several seedlings growing and would love to hear of any success stories.

Hi. I'm sorry i didnt see your post until now. I dont have any answers for you but I love Frangipani which are indiginous in my home country. I'm now a little home sick. how are the seedlings coming on? I suspect we wont have enough high sustained dry heat here but I dont know what other climates they grow in so I wish you loads of luck and would love to hear how it goes

Hi, I bought a cutting in Hawaii and planted it a year ago, indoors in a pot. It was a plank six inch cylinder when planted, and it grew three leaves last summer before it went dormant for the winter. Since spring this year it has had maybe 10 or 12 leaves and seems healthy. No sign of any flowers yet. It is in a really sunny spot and I water it a little once a week, a little more if I feel it is very dry. I'm so scared I'll kill it but so far so good. I will need to repot it next year as the pot has no drainage and is quite small. How is yours doing?
