I’m looking forward to more classes with Mike and Stacy! ” (Meredith)Plumerias thrive in Southern California’s mild Mediterranean climate, but winter can still be the most challenging—and potentially damaging—season for your plants.Cold temperatures, frost, excess water, and improper winter care can all cause problems. And because Southern California has so many different microclimates, what works near the coast may not be right for plants farther inland.Mike has grown plumerias for decades in San Diego’s East County, where winter temperatures can be considerably colder than in coastal areas. In this class, he’ll share the practical techniques he uses to prepare his own plants for winter and protect them when temperatures drop.Held in person at Atkinson Plumeria Farm, this class goes beyond simply telling you what to do. Mike will show you how he prepares and protects plumerias on the farm, with plenty of time for questions about your own plants and growing conditions.What You’ll LearnMike will cover:How your watering needs change as temperatures changeWhen to stop fertilizing—and when to start againWhat to do with plumeria cuttings over winterHow to protect plants from cold temperatures and frostWhat to do if your plumeria suffers cold or frost damageWhat’s happening to your leaves in autumn—and when you should be concernedHow winter care differs depending on where you liveAnswers to your specific winter-care questionsand much more!Visit The FarmThe class is held in our open, shaded classroom at Atkinson Plumeria Farm in an intimate, in-person setting.
