Any idea how large of a cutting will root? Everything I've been finding says 12"-18" maximum, but I have an old overgrown tree that I can't move, so I was planning on perpetuating it with cuttings. There are a couple healthy branches that I could prune that would net me 3'-4' branches to root, but would that be too large to be able to effectively root? Just wondering if you've ever tested this and what the upper limit would be. :)
The larger the cutting the easier it will root. For a large, almost “insta-tree” cutting, like 4 foot+, put it in a large pot with a mix of coir and cactus/palm/citrus soil, and water every 3 days on the spring/summer. It will start to leaf by the end of summer.
@@savageinnature8905 Oh wow, really?!? The "insta-tree" cutting is EXACTLY what I had in mind - but wanted to verify it would work before potentially ruining the branches. So, just to clarify, I do need to callus a large cutting off as well before putting in the potting medium, correct? Also, this is in South Florida, and this particular cultivar drops all its leaves for a bit but they're just now coming back in. Should I wait until she puts out more leaves? Sorry for all the follow up questions - no good deed goes unpunished! :)
Mr Savage - or anyone - is there a limit to how 'large' a cutting can be, to get rooted and then planted (in the ground). I am in Southern CAL. I was given about 6 -8 big cuttings, practically full/medium branches from a 12' tall really old and beautiful plumeria tree. My cuttings are each about 3-5 feet long, and each has about 2-5 mini-branches of their own that are each about 1-2 feet (the mini branches). Can I root, and then plant, the whole 4-foot tall branch cutting (heavily staked so it does not fall down).
Could someone help me? My mother died and her plumeria plant that she had been nurturing for years has dried out. It isn't green at all. How can I revive it? I really want it to live as a memory of the trip to Hawaii.
Hi, what part of the world do you live? If it’s cold, say dropping below 50°, they go dormant until it warms back up again. They will look dead but are not. It should “refoliate” in the spring. Is it in the ground or in a pot?
Great info, I’m new to plumerias. I learned a lot. Only advice is to maybe edit each step so it’s not so drawn out. Lengthy. Not a complaint- just advice. Thanks again, Cheers.
Yeah I may this way before I knew how to do RU-vid videos but I’ve learned a lot since then, I’m surprised how many views this got but it shows that the averages watch length is only about 5 minutes so now I only make 5-6 minute videos.
Way too much distractions kids in the background could not hear you very well start to watch another video that you made and was disappointing you cannot hear you
i was wondering too. was there really kids playing in the background? i would be like stfu! im making a vid. orrr did he have kids playing in the background in an audio track with tropical music just for the vid??
Yes, they stay on it most of the rooting stage unless it’s warm enough outside. If you feel they are being dry you can put them in some water for a few hours. The holes in the bag will allow water to seep in. Don’t get too much water, maybe like 5-10 minutes then out.
I "liked" the video and each person has their own way of rooting these things, but you don't use rooting hormone? I thought that was rather important. Almost as important as hormones are to a professional body builder! No, only kidding, ha ha.
I’m getting ready to root a few cuttings I took from our tree that’s been growing indoors for 10years here in idaho. Im super excited to get these rooted. Is your rooting medium dry dry or pre moistened? Will this method work on for my cuttings that I have been letting callus without the plastic wrap method. Just air drying it? Thank you.
@@savageinnature8905 thank you for the reply. I’m really going to try this method. I haven’t had any luck rooting cutting in the past and it’s frustrating cause everyone says it’s so easy. Lol. One more question, please. A lot of time coco comes in bricks that needs to be hydrated. Do you wait until the coco is dried up before you bag a plumeria stem in there? Thanks in advance.
I don’t understand why you wrap them to callus them over. Won’t leaving them to dry out/callus without wrapping in plastic do the same thing? I don’t understand why this step to prompt calluses.
Yes. I’ve been trying both methods for months now and either way seems to work just as well. Warm dry place is the key. Too hot they dry out. Too cold they don’t grow.
I would think if you wrap it you are risking water being stuck inside which would rot these trunks .I was shocked to see you soak it in water I'd think it would make it softer not harder 🤷♂️
Hello thanks for your informative videos. Really helpful. I live in Dubai. And I absolutely LOVE Plumaria’s. Questions: please can you tell me how long you left them in cling wrap to form the calus ? Or do you just watch it and follow by eye? It’s pretty hot where i live. Can I leave it outside?
I believe these took me awhile but roots typically start to sprout 2-3 months. At least that’s the early I’ve noticed mine. Some swear they can get it on a few weeks but I’ve never been successful at that.
What is purpose of wrapping? You wrapped first one that was dry and the other two were fresh cuts so both are good? Can you just air dry 1-2 weeks without plastic, then plant? Then is it beer to plant in soil baggy or into soil pot? Sorry for all my dumass rook questions! I like your videos cuz they are simple and easy! Sometimes we complicate it too much. Thanks.
The purpose of using Saran Wrap is or was thought to help promote callusing quicker than letting it air. But after a few months of trying both, either way works just as well. James, you comment was 5 months ago, apologies for the long delayed response. Have you been successful with rooting any? Please let me know. Thank you for the kind words, and that was my goal, simple and easy. Hearing that means a lot 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Either way seems to work, like I stated just right now, I’ve been trying both methods for awhile and either way seem to work. Also, James, it better to plant them in a soil bag so you can check on the root growth. Plumerias are tough though and you can just cut one from a tree and put in pot and it will grow. The key is WELL DRAINED SOIL. Like 50/50 or 60/40 perlite/cactus palm citrus soil. That loose soil will allow the roots to grow optimally.
Good video. So you don't really need any water except the spritz to promote rooting? Wow. This saves alot of space seems cool and manage temps. Thanks.
You’re welcome. It’s best to just cut and dry for a few minutes/couple hours at most. Lots of different ways to get a plumeria cutting to root but this and gang rooting in perlite seem to be the most effective.
Very interesting, very. What solution did you use? How often do you repeat feeding them in this manner? Do you also water the soil or does this replace that need? Thanks for your response if you find the time.
I believe this feeding was with Spray N Grow. Every other week is when I feed them during the growing season with a foliar feed. The other week is a soil drench with Agrothrive Fruit and Flower mix. Yes, I live in SoCal, an during the growing season I water them daily. Sometimes twice.
It true. I was offered a couple of cuttings from someone that lives near me. I went to pick it up and the guy told me he was moving and I could take as many as I wanted. To make a long story short, I went back the next day a got the whole 40+ year old tree. 👍🏻👍🏻
From my parents trees, mine produced a seedpod as well last year. Yes if the flowers get pollinated at the correct time, they will form seed pods. Seeds are special because they don’t always resemble the parent plant and that’s how new cultivars are created. 🤙🌸🌺🌼🙏
