Course Overview
Black tip on plumeria is a symptom pattern, not a complete diagnosis by itself. A darkened growing tip may follow cold exposure, wet media, pruning injury, weather shifts, or an active disease problem.
This course teaches students to slow down, inspect the tissue, compare recent conditions, and decide whether the damage is stable or advancing.
The safest first response is to protect the plant, avoid new stress, keep the root zone appropriately dry, and document what changes over the next several days.
Correction is bounded. Students remove tissue only when it is clearly dead, soft, spreading, or creating sanitation risk. Stable or uncertain tips are watched until the evidence is clearer.
Course Outcomes

- Identify cold, wet, pruning, weather, and disease-related clues.
- Inspect firmness, color, spread pattern, and timing before acting.
- Choose when to wait and when damaged tissue should be removed.
- Recognize recovery signs and escalation triggers.
