I let the cuttings dry out after pruning. Should I put them in soil or let them lay out to dry all winter?
They only need to be left out a week or two to callous over. Go ahead and plant them in 2/3 perlite and 1/3 potting soil. Then do not water again till they have a few leaves, indicating root growth.

The leaves are covered with white spots. The plant is about 12 inches tall and is in its first potting. I brought the cutting from Hawaii. It was dry and looked old but it came to life beautifully. I have attached a photo of the leaves. I am concerned that the plant will die. Please advise Warmly Paulette
It is a little difficult to see from the photo, but it either appears as speckling from spider mite damage, or the early starts of powdery mildew.
Neem oil can help take care of either ailment, but there are other things that you can do for each, as well.

I had two plumerias and one was bitten by frost and started to lose its leaves. The frost did not hurt the other. The stalk seems to be getting softer, and I'm afraid I will lose it. Can I cut the stalk? Help.
Yes, if it is starting to rot, then this will be your only option. Then wait and hope for recovery. This article will give you more information on the care of Plumerias: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/plumeria/growing-plumeria.htm
What’s wrong with the tree? What’s the name of the tree? How should I treat it? Or simply do nothing?
It appears to be a Plumeria with bacterial spotting!
A fungicide will be in order. Here is an article that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm
It will be best to hold off on watering until the soil is completely dry down to about 3 inches or so between watering. Overwatering is the most common cause of what you are seeing here.
Make sure to trim off any leaves that are affected, then completely remove them from the area as to avoid spreading the disease.

I've had it since September as sticks that I planted. A few months ago it produced the below two leaves. I've been watering it about every 2-3 weeks. Yesterday when I went to move it outside, the small leaf was still attached but curled. This afternoon when I went to check on the plant, the small leaf had dropped off. The larger leaf now has brown spots. The pictures are from the top and bottom sides of the leaves.
It appears to have been overwatered, leading to infection!
This can happen when the soil is not allowed to dry out, thoroughly, down to at least 2 inches between waterings.
Treatment will consist of a fungicide/bactericide and keeping all infected growth removed and away from the plant.

I’ve grown Plumeria for 30+ years & never seen a ‘growth’ as per the pic attached. It’s been like this more than 2 months. Growing slowly now about 4” across the two “parts”. It’s not a leaf & is fairly hard to the touch. This particular plant I transplanted from a cutting 7years ago. I’m in SoCal. Anyone any ideas???
Those are forming seed pods!

Hello, To the point. I took cuttings from my plumeria and they are doing great. The plant from which I took them, now a stump, is not doing well. Is it lost or what am I to do to get it growing again? Thank you, Helen
Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I am unable to assess the damage. I would care for it as best, and properly as you can to revive it.
