My indoor plumeria tree

 My first plumeria is still one of my favorite! It's called Plumeria "Salsa" and it blooms virtually all year long!  


Plumeria are tropical trees with incredibly fragrant blooms. They are really easy to overwinter inside the house up north, because they naturally go dormant during cooler & drier weather ... at least they're supposed to. Every year this plumeria one breaks the rules, while all my others drop their leaves and go to sleep.



This was just a little baby off eBay when I bought it in 2009, and it's bloomed for me every single year outside in the summer and inside during the winter, BUT some of my plumerias NEVER bloom.

Here it is (to the left) during the end of its first summer back in 2009. I bought it as a rooted plant off eBay. It's come a long way!
