dormant plumeria

Starkville, MS(Zone 8a)

Rain predicted pretty much all day here. Gloomy but at least it is above freezing. I took two bags of my dormant plumeria out of their closet yesterday and potted up a couple of dozen ones, those that were already rooted. Depending on size, they are in 1-4 gal pots, but most of them are in 3-4 gal. pots. I have them in my mini-greenhouse on the patio. We are supposed to get down to 37 tonight, and even though they should be fine (no leaves), I will go ahead and put a 100W or 150W light in the greenhouse to keep the temperature a bit warmer. I still have two more bags to pot up, but with the rain, it will be tomorrow or Saturday when I do so. I will just leave the cuttings on the enclosed porch for another few weeks and then begin the process of rooting them.
