    Make sure the pot and soil is draining properly. Wet, soggy soil will cause root rot.
    Plumeria prefer to have a good watering and then dry slightly.

    If the temperatures are above 85 degrees you will need to likely water more often.

    First I would support the plant to reduce the weight to the one side.

    Allow the wound to heal naturally. Watch for insects or disease. Neem Oil can be used on the wound if you see any signs of problems.

    This could be a good time to take cuttings and start new plants but I would only choose that option if they plant starts to suffer.

    After more research, I found that it is a seed pod. Seed pods are only occasionally produced on Plumeria plants. The pod will mature in 9 to 10 months then release 20 to over 100 papery winged seeds! This is my second one, the first died from lack of knowledge.

    You can prune back the the plant to about 12 inches high. This should help the plant recover. I would also shield it from the hot sun until it has a chance to recover.

    Plumeria will actually grow in proportion to their pot.
    I would suggest actually purchasing a couple of pots in the 3 to 4 gallon size.
    Then when you remove the plants you can determine which pot will fit the root system with some grow for growth.
    To large of a pot can lead to overwatering and root rot. Aim for a tighter fit.
    Your Plumeria needs plenty of sunlight, pruning and fertilizer to encourage blooming.

    I'm listing a few links that will help with blooming and care information.
