Rooting Hawaiian Airport Plumeria! || Growing Plumeria from cutting || Plumeria helps || Frangipane
Показать описание
(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.
