Fireblast grafted/rooted
Arrived in excellent condition and fast delivery. Purchased around Nov. 2020 so it hasn’t grown much but is doing good. Has been indoors for the winter and will put it outside after March and fertilize with excalibur Boost.

Fireblast Plumeria
In my opinion, this is the cultivar has the most stunning display of colors of any plumeria. I purchased just when the dormancy season began so took a chance of my not killing it prior to waking up. The plan arrived looking very healthy with a nicely developed root system. I stuck it in a small pot with soil and into a mini greenhouse on a heating pad. I added a grow light a few weeks ago and the plant seems to be doing fine. I don't know if I will see an inflow this year but I am so looking forward to this guy being the jewel of my collection.

I had been watching for Fireblast to become available for a while. So happy I was able to purchase one! Shipping was fast, and the plant was packaged very well and had lots of healthy roots. Very happy with purchase and plan to place additional orders in the future. Florida Colors is highly recommended!
