• Practice: Gently tuck a layer of organic mulch around the base, creating a warm blanket that whispers of safety and care.

• Rationale: The journey indoors is a tender homecoming, a gentle shift to a protected haven where the Plumeria can rest.
• Practice: Carefully transition any potted Plumeria indoors, ensuring a space with ample light to mimic the soft glow of the autumn sun.
