daesaflgatorfan,

Actually Plumeria are very easy to grow. In Florida they are almost like weeds. They need to be started in pots so you can control the water, but once they root they can be planted in ground where they will flourish. They need to be protected from frost and freezing just as Citrus. If your in an area that receives no frost you should have no problem. There are many Plumeria Societies where you can learn about and purchase cuttings or plants very cheaply. You may also be able to get free cuttings from those around you in Florida. Even if you live in an area that receives frost/freezing weather you can still grow them. You just bring the pots in or bare root them for the winter.
