How do you get rid of white webbing on indoor plumeria plants?
The white webbing may be an indication of spider mites, which can be treated with neem oil. These articles will provide more info:

I purchased a Plumeria plant last summer and when it went dormant in Nov. , I brought it inside and stored it in a dark dry environment as instructed. My question is, when should I bring it out and start watering it? I live in Phoenix, AZ and nighttime lows are still in mid 40s. Is this to soon?
Plumerias do not like temps below 40 F., so just to be on the safe side, I would at least wait until the temperatures outside rise a bit more, say 50 F. or more, and remain consistent.
My plumeria plant is about 4 ft. tall. It has been doing great until the past few weeks. The leaves have started falling off but new ones are coming back on. We live in central Florida and we had a few cool mornings where it got down in the upper 50's. I don't know if this had anything to do with it or not. Any info you can give me I would greatly appreciate it as I have had this as a baby and it has come a long way and I would really hate to lose it.
Yes, a change in temperatures would bring about stress such as this. It should right itself, however.
Why are my potted plumerias dropping their flower buds before they open?
I would check the moisture of your container soil, which should be moist not wet. Also, big drops in temps, especially at night, can trigger bud drop. I would check for insect pests as well.
Every year when I arrive at our home in Baja, my plumeria trees have rust on the leaves. A guy at a nursery in California recommended Neem oil spray; I sprayed them twice a week or 10 days apart, (in the early morning) and within two weeks, all the leaves turned yellow/brown and are falling off. What have I done?
If the plant is in very bright sun, it is possible that the oil worked with the sun to burn the leaves. Make sure you are diluting the neem oil to the right mixture and then try applying in the evening, so the mixture has time to be absorbed before the sun comes up. You may also have another issue with the plant, perhaps a pest or a different disease. I would examine the leaves closely for signs of pests. It would be difficult to diagnose from here what is exactly wrong with the plant, as there are many, many things that could be causing yellow leaves.
I have a frangipani in a large pot inside the house in front of bifold doors. It gets lots of sun in this position and this year has developed particularly well, including flowering in mid April. It is slightly out of balance where it has grown in a "V" shape and how has more growth on one side than the other. How do I prune the plant and will this encourage growth on the side with less growth? Should I focus my pruning effort on one side to even it out or prune generally and let nature take its course?
Pruning for these plants is normally achieved prior to new growth (late winter/early spring for us in the US, so likely opposite season in your growing region). They can be pruned as needed to 12 inches from the ground (or soil in pot). This will help balance out the new growth the following growing season.

I have about a five year old Plumeria tree (I have a photo) and its outer growing stems are really getting long. I wondered if it's wise or not to cut up the tree to make numerous more cuttings.
Yes, you can take cuttings, but I would do so now. These articles will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/plumeria/growing-plumeria.htm,
