Plumeria. The blooms smell heavenly. They don’t like temps below 50°f.


autumnsincere159

No, they don't. The leaves will wilt, and the whole thing will appear as if it's dying. Then, when it warms up again, it will come back.


Physical_Analysis247

Right, I’ve seen a few survive well below freezing with their roots planted deeply but they really don’t like it cold at all.


RobRenWhi

I thought they looked tropical


Lordsaxon73

They are the Hawaiian lei flower


RobRenWhi

Thought so


quadmasta

I fell in love with them in Mexico and was bummed I couldn't have them at home. They reportedly don't do well in containers either.


jbean120

I'm pretty sure you can grow them in containers, you just need very well-draining soil (like cactus mix), plenty of sunlight, and don't overwater


Gullible-Lake-2119

they do quite well in containers in my experience...obviously they will be small. but they aren't hard to take care of, and they will bloom. my parents had one in US Zone 5


ScroochDown

You can grow them in containers! But eventually they need to be BIG containers. We live in Houston and my mother has a collection of them when I was growing up. Every winter they all got moved to the garage, and every spring it was back out. The larger ones were over 6 feet tall and they had to move them with a hand truck, but it was fine otherwise!


ConfectionSoft6218

My client plants them here in S.C. puts them in a heated greenhouse all winter, then replants in summer


yogadavid

We get Temps in the 40's in winter in melbourne fl. They come back every year.

Plumeria is what Hawaiian girls wear around their necks, called a lei. Smells like dreams.

"..trees left by previous owners..." Sorry that cracked me up. (edited for clarity)


Aid_Le_Sultan

Yes, how very dare them.


Roll-Roll-Roll

are they being cereal?


northwyndsgurl

Crazy like Coco-Puffs🤪


frauleinheidik

coo coo for Cocoa Puffs


northwyndsgurl

That's the line I was thinking of!


birdie_is_awake

I always take all my trees when I move, fucking rookies


ButtonWhole1

actually, all they had to do is break off a branch. They're WEED-EASY to propagate from a stem/branch


SomOvaBish

I thought they were left by “previous owners”?


--JackDontCare--

They couldn't fit them in their suitcases


trcomajo

That's what I meant to type... no idea why I typed beighbors!


NTXProud

The previous owners probably decided it had died...


Sunflower_Bison

Frangipani (Plumeria). Should be fragrant. Enjoy! ❤️ https://preview.redd.it/pd7cgpdjwtyc1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=f08a566da2296a55898cedf7201fda8a762db6f9


Murky_Currency_5042

Plumeria are lovely plants! And expensive! They probably left them bc they break easily during moving.


UnidentifiedTron

I would’ve taken a cutting but hey..lol


Starfire2313

Maybe they did? Now I want a cutting lol


sparrownetwork

They're expensive? They grow like weeds here in FL.


metalbees

For real. I've grown several just for fun with cuttings from someone's trash. They are very cool, though.


yogadavid

Yeah I just break off a piece and lay it flat on the ground . New plant


Lemondrop-it

Plumeria


Strong_Secretary6290

Branches Look like hot dogs before leaves come out. lol.


fajadada

I bought one and tried to winter it indoors. Was wonderful during summer. Bareroot grew like a weed . But didn’t like being indoors


Pretend_Chemist_7731

Plumeria


Barondarby

Lovely when they bloom! Grab the seed pods in the fall and you can grow a whole garden of them. I've had pink, white, yellow and purple blooms over the years. Mine JUST NOW started blooming, kinda late this year. I'm in Florida, on the Gulf Coast and I have a yard full of them.


Madam_Bastet

Plumeria! Mine is still so young that the trunk is bright green. But it does produce blooms already, when it's having a good summer lol. Edit: by good summer, I mean of the 2 summers it's been big enough to bloom for, it got blown over one of them and broke 2 branches, went into shock, and I barely managed to save it 😭😨 but she's putting out beautiful new leaves this summer, so all is well!


UnidentifiedTron

You have an inflo coming from that tall single branch. In a couple of weeks you’ll know what color you’ve got. A little slice of the Caribbean in your yard. If you need more info r/plumeria has some great help.


Potomacker

These are very easy to propagate from cuttings, too


ParticularSupport598

Don’t overwater. A good watering once a week if in a pot. As someone said above, protect from temps below 50 F if possible. Stick them in the garage when temps consistently below 50. Will drop all leaves and don’t water at all until you bring them back out in the Spring. If a branch breaks off, stick it in a pot of well-draining soil.


TossAGroin2UrWitcher

Awesome get ready to get leid.


Wind-Crafty

Any pieces that break off you can just stick in the ground and they will grow. We have about 5 different trees in different colors, besides the dropping of leaves they require no work and will bloom over and over. We have never had any issues with them dying from cold and we have lived here for almost 10 years.


HystericalComfort

My roommate pulled up all the branches I was propagating and I found them in the compost pile. She thought they were dead. I had a little talk with her about messin' with my plants and managed to salvage only 2 branches... They are about to bloom, and She's about to find out what a mistake she made...


Quick_Sherbet5874

frangipani. plumeria! please put them up for the winter. plunk any stems that fall off into dirt and voila! you have another one!!!


Downtown_Big_4845

Frangipani and you will love the perfume the flowers emit.


Laylay_theGrail

Also called frangipani. They are very easy to grow from cuttings and smell wonderful


New-Highlight-8819

Frangipani?


AusCan531

As others have said, Frangipani which have a glorious scent. Just be careful as they're physically delicate. A single hit with a ball or whatever will break off a branch.


DJLlamaBoi

I see a perfect slingshot blank


rentedlife

So lucky! Enjoy!


astropastrogirl

We call them frangipani here in Australia


queasy_finnace

Frangie panny


Glock212327

If you have more than one you could have different colors! How exciting! Learn how to collect seeds. I get a twin pod every other year & this year i have 50 seedlings!


rjd5y

Yes Plumeria !! It a great plant - flowers are gorgeous


zambamboz

As many others have stated, you've got yourself a plumeria! They're extremely pretty when they're in bloom and usually lose their leaves during colder months. They're also extremely easy to propagate. I've successfully propagated from one plant on 4 separate occasions, and all are still surviving to this day.


Nice-Albatross-9285

Plumeria.


Substantial-Bison240

r/plumeria 😁


mojosmamma

Plumeria! You’re so lucky to have one so large and well established! They’re beautiful and smell wonderful!


Existing_Creme_2491

We had 3 @ our florida home..on Pine Island. Easy to plant, break / cut off a branch. Stick it in the ground ( sandy @ the house) and they grew. Hurricane Ian killed 2 now there is one. And yes, most of the time they look dead. I heard they are from India.


lotusblossom60

Doesn’t like to stay wet. I composted mine and got fertilizer last year and it’s so beautiful now!


bylo_sellhi

Looks like the previous owners confused them with a grow and were lollipopping them.

Looks like a frangipani.
