RE: Plumeria Cuttings

Wow, 500F?  Even 100C is a bit hotter than I'd expect. Sounds like it needs

(snip)

Hardiness: USDA Zones 9 - 11. Requires a virtually frost free climate.
Plumeria drops its leaves when temperatures drop below 500F (100C).

Propagation: By cuttings in spring. Let latex sap dry, then dust with
rooting hormone powder and plant in damp sand"

IF I am thinking of the right plant....

You can let them go dormant when fall arrives here, and store in a
basement/garage type setting like purple fountain grass....
(help me out here Kitty, is this correct?)
