Plumeria Pampering

It worked! You all remember our treasured plumeria plant? You know, the one that was ripped apart by 70 mph winds and tossed carelessly around our yard? Taking the advice of a good adoption friend's father, I gave our storm devastated plumeria a healthy drink of root stimulator and repotted it - all 3 pieces. The leaves died off and the bottom piece (the tall one) just looked like a chewed up stick. Since plumeria plants in northern climates go dormant over winter, I figured we'd know next spring if the emergency plant first aid worked.

Well, a mild autumn did the trick and look! The bare stick is growing 3 new branches with leaves and the former top pieces (the greener trunks) have some leaves developing, too! Being much better with outdoor gardens than potted plants, I'm truly amazed.
