Rooting Hawaiian Airport Plumeria! || Growing Plumeria from cutting || Plumeria helps || Frangipane

(See watering tips below) How I've found success growing plumeria (frangipane). These cuttings were bought in an airport kiosk in Maui. Plumeria cuttings take some care to get the roots going, but are absolutely worth it! I currently have five varieties of plumeria, including these two new cuttings, in zone 9b. I would normally let them root longer before transplanting, but for the sake of the video wanted to show their growth at just eight weeks from putting in the soil. This is the bottle method for rooting. I'll be trying the bag method the next time I get a cutting to see which one produces better results.

Helpful watering tip:
-Plumeria don't like "wet feet" DO NOT OVER WATER!
-While rooting a cutting, I would add about 1/4 cup of water to the inner bottle every other week for the first couple of weeks. When the inflo appeared (where the flower comes from) I began watering the same amount every week because the soil was drying out faster as our temperatures were increasing. When the first flower bloomed, I noticed the roots were drying out faster so I poured about 1/2 cup of water into the outer bottle so that the inner bottle could absorb the water through the holes on the bottom into the soil when needed, but it wouldn't be overwhelming. When I felt like the plumeria could use a little hydration, but didn't think it needed to be watered, I would spritz the plumeria with a water bottle for quick hydration.

Once I transplanted the plumeria into the larger pots, I watered them and then let them dry out completely before watering again. I will be keeping them indoors for their first year under my careful watch. Next year, I plan to bury the pots into the soil of my yard where I plan to plant them in year three so they can get used to the conditions. They will be stored in my garage for winter dormancy until acclimated fully in the ground.

Finally one I can actually understand and is explained slightly more clear

[ilikeandloveeverything]

i got one because my home state is overloaded with plumerias. Cant wait to grow one myself. It has rainbow color flowers. also thank you for showing the roots because i really love it when people do, it assures me that i could still grow my plumeria from cutting

[aashufaisal]

Good job 👍
Well done 👍
I love plumeriya 's flowers very much 😘

One must understand and work with plumeria dormancy for success. I have 9 that end rotted in cactus mix that I watered only one time. I used the Garden Safe Take Root brand rooting hormone as well. I recut the ends and am now trying again. I think that their being out of DORMANCY is critically important, unless one has a greenhouse, heat mat, proper lighting and 80° ambient air temperature. Don't believe all those internet people who tell you how to root them but never show a rooted plumeria cutting. Its easy to cut and towel dry a plumeria cutting, and place it into a planting media.

Wow nice beautiful job Watching from California I got new ideas and I love your videos

[stevenbraille]

Awesome, i just got one of these from the airport yesterday

[kqpro]

Amazing! You just showed me that these cutting actually grow. I failed...

Funny that most people think Plumeria originated in the pacific and Hawaiian plumeria are really just imported from the Yucatán Peninsula. They grow wild in the Caribbean. A study was done with rooting plumeria. There was no significant difference between success rates with or without rooting media.

Would love to see an update on how the Plumerias are doing!

10 weeks of planting indoors in Chicago, no leaf just little green on top now.

[HP_Quinn]

Also in zone 9b in Bakersfield CA. Did you have them go into dormancy when indoor too?

[afshanhaqqi]

Hello, once you plant them in a pot, do you still use the same potting soil of 50-50 of Perlite & Coco coir?

[nitaschannelonyou-tube]

Hello mam
Can u explain in description box what fertilizer are used

[ThickCutBacon]

Do you keep the planted cutting indoors or outdoors?

[marciedarcie]

How long did you leave the stalk in water before applying the root grower?

Hi. I'm Dale Andrews, an amateur gardener from Lake Charles, LA (50 miles off the Gulf of Mexico) and have 4 plumeria cuttings already in clear plastic cups with holes drilled in the sides to "jet" in water from a mister. Point is, I mixed the succulent mix + perlite (about 50-50) BEFORE I put the cuttings in, that way I got a more even mix. Is there any reason why you "layered" it. Any advantage to doing it that way?

[celsohilado]

Anong pangalan ng ginagamit momg rooting hormone effective ba yan🙂

How much? I’m in Hawaii now and looking for them
