Plumeria Q & A by Florida Colors NurseryAnswer

Plumerias, like most trees, love full sun, warm temperatures, and a good amount of water. See this exerpt from our Plumeria Care sheet:
SUN REQUIREMENTS
Plumerias love sun, the more the better. Six to Eight hours of full blazing sun is necessary for best blooming. Plumerias will not produce bloom stems (inflorescences) without adequate sun exposure. Full sun (sunup to sundown) is BEST.
WATER REQUIREMENTS
Plumeria need water, but can withstand extended periods of being dry. Small pots may need to be watered daily, while Large pots or those in the ground may not need it as often, whatever works best for you. They get used to the conditions they find themselves in. If in doubt, drier is better than wetter. Never use a saucer under your plants. Purchase a moisture meter and check your plants often until you get to know their water needs in your yard. Plumeria love water but they need to dry out between watering.
We would suggest that if possible, you try raising your plumeria outdoors. It is a tree - even if it's a small, plant sized tree right now.
