    Thanks for your answer. However, I have been using a 10-55-10 fertilizer so it is low in Nitrogen. And my other question concerned the timing of pruning and fertilizing in Panama as opposed to the rest of North America - same cycles?

    I would check the Nitrogen level on the fertilizer you have been using.
    To high of Nitrogen can inhibit flowering.
    Here is a link that will help you review the care requirements.

    The seed pods are only occasionally produced by the Plumeria.
    Some cultivators are sterile and never produce seed pods.
    You can remove them from your plant.
    If you want to propagate the seeds, leave the seed pods on the plant until they are dry.
    This can take 9 to 10 months.
    The seeds can be planted right away.

    There is no way to 'split' or bifurcate a stalk, in any research that I have found.
    Cutting into the stalk would likely result in the loss of the stem or reduce the health of the plant.

    Pruning will of coarse, result in multiple branching from the prune site.

    I suspect that your plumeria does not have enough humidity. These plants like a high humidity environment and will shed flowers much more quickly if they do not get the humidity that they need. You may want to look at trying to put the plant on a pebble tray to bring up the humidity around it. Here is more information on that:

    The soil content and fertilization are probably more important than the actual container. Since they need good drainage, avoid planting your Plumeria in a pot that will force it to become rootbound at a very young age.

    Often deformed leaves can indicate a pest issue.

    Inspect the leaves for signs of pests.

    Neem Oil is a good treatment and also works as a fungicide.
    Plumeria can often be effected with Rust fungus also.

    Here are some links with more information.
