Spring has sprung

The first sign of coming to life is the tip of the branch will start to look "wet" and small clawlike looking items will appear which are actualy new leaves forming.  This is the time to begin watering and fertilizing.  A small "brussel sprout" looking item may form at the middle if the new clawlike leaves which are forming.  This is why we want plumeria.  Flowers are on their way.  This is the begfinning of a new inflorescent (flower stalk).  Be careful to mot damage the new tip.  It is incredibly fragile and if broken all the flowers that would have been will not be.
