Q.Why Some Of My Plumerias Don’t Bloom
I have three, all mature, a pink and a white that have both bloomed dependably before. The other is a fuchsia and it bloomed a little once. The last several years only my white one sets flowers. The white and pink are inches away from each other and the other is about 3 feet away. All get the same sun and water and fertilizer ( miracle grow super bloom). Any thoughts?

It may be the fertilizer. They are quite picky about the NPK values. Usually, a 10-30-10 is best.
Another thing to note is that your fertilizer of choice is water soluble and fast acting. Fertilizers like these need to be applied every 2 weeks to a month. Underfertilazation could be responsible depending on how you feed.
They are quite particular about pruning, as well. Pruning out of season will halt flowering production.
