plumeria seeds

I keep them in the conservatory Strongy. Overnight min 7 on the coldest nights but always rising to 20 during the day.
But years ago I did overwinter them in a frost free greenhouse but bone dry and leafless.

I dont think I could afford to keep a greenhouse at minimum of 10C these days, the conservatory is double glazed and has radiators running on the house heating.

 

I forgot you had the conservatory, I guess keeping any greenhouse at 10c now will be very expensive.
Mine are both 3ft high and I don't want to lose them but they will be too big for the living room so they will have to take their chances in the greenhouse, dry, at possibly 5/7c, depends on the coming winter.

 

My main greenhouse is 14ft but only 6 ft wide.

I cant afford to keep that more than frost free really.

Maybe it would be a good idea to start drying them off now, in readyness for the move.
You can keep them in the house once they are leafless, they take up a lot less room and dont need much light.
An odd corner in a spare room is ideal.

Just out of interest, what min. temp are the greenhouses kept at where you work?

 

We only have one, a 1/4 acre 5 span which was heated by four gas boilers at around 9/10c in winter but the powers that be dumped a biomass wood burner on us a couple of years ago, and said we could only heat a 1/4 of it in winter. That is bubbble wrapped but our fantastic wood burner (£40,000 worth which is supposed to save money) can only maintain 5c above the outside temprature. A white Elephant.

 

Ah so you only have the one?

I've got two:D

 

I've got about 300

Plumeria that is :D

 

Got any pictures Rootball of the ones coming into flower.

Do you know what the parent plants were?

 

This is a picture of the buds I took a few weeks ago.

Now, these 'could' be leaves, but I don't think so - none of the other plants are growing this way :D

 

Yes it looks very like it is rootball.

 

Cool :D
