Hello,
I have two plumerias; both are in containers. In summer, after torrential downpour, both my plumerias were knocked over, and it appears the soil is so moist that I fear they will become uprooted. But my question is: As the plummies grow taller, the canes seem to curve over. Should I attempt to “guide” the cane over a more permanent or sturdy object…like a fence or use stakes? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

As plumerias get larger it helps greatly to support it. Stakes and tree supports work well. Often the branches can break off if they get too heavy from over watering. Supporting them as attractively as possible is the best bet! Good luck.
