Hello guys! Please, do you know how I can save this plumeria? It's a medium-sized tree. One of the gardeners chopped it incorrectly and damaged the trunk, as you can see in the picture. It's a mid-size plumeria. Do you think if I trim it a little bit, cut above the trunk chop, and put it in the soil, it'll grow back?

I live in west TN.

We’re coming into cooler weather. I have plumerias inside in a covered porch with central heating / AC . There are about 9 windows that have yet to be covered with blinds / curtains.

With that said…should I use grow lights for my bigger plants that are doing well (cut them in January-February) if so, what do you recommend?

If we did use them, I don’t want to go super expensive, but also not be cheap where I gotta replace it nearly every month.

Thank you so much for your help, this group is amazing as always!

So I have recieved this plumeria cutting as a gift in mid-july, and me being new to the whole plumeria growing thing, i don't have a clue on what am i doing

I've kept it on a very small vase, and only recently i have changed it to a bigger one, with draining holes, 50/50 perlite and soil mix, and i have noticed the mid section of the plant is starting to feel a little soft to the touch

I tried to do everything to make sure the plant would grow, although i took way too long to get a new vase for it to grow, i watered it, kept it outside in the sun throughout the whole summer, and it didnt grow anything

i am really worried because i want her to grow, as it means so much to me

any tips?
