Can you help me identify what this growth is and how to get rid of it?
I had to leave three tal Plumeria plants at our last home in Southern VA as they were too big (6' + and wide!) to transport. We took off 3 branches (which those of you that know, grow easily in soil to new plants). ** 1st time I have EVER seen this in over 12 years of having Plumeria plants with this Orange "growth" on the underside or anywhere on a plant.** Any idea what this is and how to spray or keep the plants protected?

Looks like rust fungi to me (though I am no expert)
Yes, it's rust. Here's a link on treating it:

Rust. Don’t water the plants in the evening, only in the morning.
There are many anti-fungals at gardening stores.

Please remember theres always the option to consult with your local master gardeners at your cooperative extension. These offices are manned by volunteer master gardeners on site there waiting to answer the communities questions that know your local situation quite well.
Master gardeners are required to volunteer back designated hours ( plus continuing education) each year to maintain MG certification -this community outreach and education is their goal.
Thank you!

Yes, there are fungus microbes in the soils, to answer your question.
Florida’s climate is quite conducive for mold, mildew and fungus- in yards, in buildings and in people.
