In Hawaii we had plumeria trees that were big enough to make multiple leis when relatives came to visit.

So cool that yours has a story in your family like that! I’d move it into a larger planter with some cactus soil and it’ll thrive! I’ve been using osmocote fertilizer and the occasional dose of fish fertilizer on ours and they’ve started growing like crazy!

Hey I’ve not been an okie for almost a decade now! 😳 growing tropicals here in AZ where it almost never freezes and we have 300+ sunny days a year is pretty easy, jsut have to shade them a bit in the summer months so they don’t get scorched!

How are things going Sid?

Pineapple is such a cool plant. We’ve talked about getting a few, but we are running out of space fast!
Things are going well, busy as ever now that we can travel for work again and the kids are both in all sorts of stuff for school! I’ve got a whole list of car projects to do, and no time to get them done!
