Where Do New Buds Form ...

A common question among Plumeria beginners

… where should I look for new buds?

Many beginners who have not been engaged with this beautiful plant for long often ask where new buds might form. Whether between the leaf shoots or on the fallen leaf shoots.

Here we want to explain exactly where to look for a Plumeria flower and where not to.

Plumeria buds grow ALWAYS from the growth center (i.e. the center of the stem at the end of the plant). NEVER from the side or from old leaf shoots. It is possible that flower shoots that sprouted partially before the winter break may still ‚live‘ and continue to grow after the winter break. However, this always depends on how vigorous the respective plant is.
