Have always been told to cut plumeria with a saw so it does not crush the plant stem internally, and to never pull leaves off but to cut them close to the stem so they do not leave large leaf scars...
Yes. You should leave the cuttings aside im a dry place undercover so the wound callouses and dries properly. 5-15 days. Then later plant them in a well drained propagation media in a pot (eg; equal quanties of coarse sand and potting mix, maybe some coir peat in there if you like and some perlite for extra aeration, drainage). And be sure not to over water or leave in too hot sun....
Hi, I grew my tree from an 8 in cut piece from Hawaii 9 years ago. It bloomed the second year I had it, but not since. My tree grew 7 feet tall now as one trunk many top leaves and no branches. I have it supported with bamboo sticks. How can I cut the tree down smaller, possibly use the top part with root grow to form a second tree next to it for support and make it healthier and stronger?
i've planted about a month ago some cuttings that were quite long, maybe 2 feet long 50+cm, along with some smaller ones from a different tree. the smaller ones are showing signs of growth in the tips already, but the long ones, no such sign. the long ones, while they're longer, they're thin and woody, not fat and succulent like the smaller cuttings(different trees). do you think the longer thinner stems will grow/root eventually or should they have been cut shorter? is there a reason everyone says 8-10"? i thought a longer cutting would maybe have a better chance to grow/root.
Thanks for the info Mark. If I may ask, will the cut branches propagate new growth? I know I can root the cuttings, but I don't want a bare Plumeria the next season. Thanks in advance. P.S. - just subbed.
bought some online and a couple are cut at an angle at the bottom. Is this going to be a problem when potting or do I need to cut them flat and let them dry again?
I live in zone 7-A, I have 2 Plumeria's that have grown tremendously over the summer. This year when I put them in the basement of my house they are as tall as the ceiling. Pruning is needed badly When will be the best time to prune. And how should I do it Need Help!
Great video! My potted plumeria has become much too large to bring into the house this winter. It's taller than me. Is it okay for me to take these cuttings in the fall/winter, or will it kill my tree?
I've sent seeds to Britan and they are growing, plus there are growers in Australia, your only problem is during the winter they will have to come inside. My brother is growing a plumeria in Denver Colorado.
Thanks for sharing this video with us! Do you recommend to seal the plumeria tree after it is cutted? I'm wondering due to the reason that I had to prune one of my plumeria because of black tip fungus.
It may need some nutrition if you go to www.socalplumeriasociety.com/plumeria-care many of your questions will be answered. It may need a good trimming if you remove branches with multiple tips and leave the single tipped branches the growth energy stored by the tree has less tips to focus on and will create inflos.
Thanks for the video. Would be great if you could share your "Plumeria Knowledge" in the Plumeria Market Facebook Page: facebook.com/groups/plumeriamarket/ Thank you!
