Plumeria finally thriving — the one thing that changed everything

Slow start but a stunning finish with Plumeria
The first few months with Plumeria were underwhelming. Almost no visible growth and I questioned my decision repeatedly. Then something shifted — I think getting providing high humidity through pebble trays or regular misting right was the turning point.
