Re: Plumeria
here is my method for the last 10 or so years:
plants in 1 gal nursery cans with 1-2 extra holes, mix is 30% sand rest is a peat mix. i then plant the can in the ground & fertilize with bloom booster 3 out of 4 feedings - the 4th feeding is high N. i plant in my front yard which faces east and gets about 5-6 hrs of direct sun, my plants generally bloom all summer. in the fall i remove them when the temps start to dip below 37-38 for more than an hour. i just pull then pot and all and then remove 50% of the leaves. one of the biggest cause of plumeria failure is wet feet and the biggest cause of no flowers is too much N.
for cuttings dust the end with hormone plant about an inch deep - same mix as rooted plants. don't allow them to get too wet but make sure they don't shrivel.
