    Usual to only have leaves at the tip, if that is what you are seeing the plant is behaving normally.

    It is also quite normal for the plumeria to lose all of its' leaves each fall. Newly arrived Northerners to our island in the Gulf of Mexico in Florida at this time of the year (February) often ask what those "stick trees" are, in that all leaves are gone from the branches.
