why sooo early with the fungus, too much rain?

probably. I've heard if you remove the dead leaf and not let it decay under the tree that it slows it down. Makes sense as I'm sure the mold/spores or whatever it is incubates in the mulch.

I was spraying mine last year with need seed oil I believe. It coats the leaves and stops the spores. Worked pretty well as long as I could keep the spraying up.

Plumerias are Caribbean and live in winter-dry climates.  Winter irrigation may be bad for them.  Or Florida's occasional wet winters.  Check with UF and other experts.  If uploading works, I have a photo of one in the wild, growing on a serpentine barren in Cuba.  Not an easy habitat--the rock is high in nickel and rather poisonous to most plants.

Here's a wild Plumeria growing on a serpentine barren in central Cuba.  Coccothrinax palms in the rear.  January, so it was dry.

 

Yeah the neem oil works on a lot of things quite nicely.

Wear a mask when you spray it. I use the little all in one hand pump sprayers with the brass nozzle.

Pretty sure I had some leftover lawn fungiside spray I also mixed in with the neem for good measure.

Photo doesn't work.

I have a few in pots, that are basically bare roots in a pot. Incredibly drought tolerant. The fact that they are growing in rock doesn't surprise me.
