Default Re: A Plumeria Thread

NIce looking plumerias. For rooting I just cut them, let callous over for about a week, dip in rooting hormone and insert in soil about 1 1/2 -2 ". Water, let dry out and repeat. have had 100% success this way.
I also use miracle grow bloom buster to promote flowering. One of mine bloomed and had flowers for 11 months on same flower stalk. Would be interested in trading a cutting or two this spring if you are interested. Would love to have a white one.

Its been maybe 2 months now and I do occasionally water it (its been extremely hot and there has been very little rain until recently).
