"Turning a Bad situation into a Good one"
🌺Your plumeria plant cuttings should be between 12 and 18 inches long.
🌺If you remove the cuttings from the plant straight away, store them for a week in a warm shady place out of direct sun light with good air circulation.
🌺Don't allow leaves to remain on the lower part of the stem. If leaves are present there, clip them off, leaving just a few on the apical, or upper tip, end of the cutting
🌺For the soil use a mixture of 2 parts perlite to 1 part potting medium.
🌺Add water to the potting mixture before planting the cutting
🌺Dip the bottom of each cutting into water then into rooting hormone powder and sink them about halfway down into the potting mixture bout 3-4 inches down
🌺Place the containers in a spot that receives full sun or just a little bit of shade. Roots should form in 30 to 90 days
🌺Water lightly, Watering them too much at this stage can cause them to rot. Remember damp soil not wet.

Plumerias FAQ🌺 When to Watering Cuttings After It Has Been Potted Up: As far as watering make sure the soil is well draining (this is really important). Watering depends on your climate but my recommendation when it comes to rooting plumeria cutting is once you water the first time as you're potting it up in soil. You won’t need to water again for 4-6weeks. Also check the soil moisture after this time make sure the soil is dry. If it’s damp wait to water again till it’s dry then water throughly again. When you start to see signs of growth you can water as normal but until then don’t water it regularly as that can lead to stem rot if it hasn’t rooted yet. Hope this helps 🌺

[@rolandoramos657]

Will plumeria bloom under shade netting?

[@kalakalatu]

Mine bloomed indoors under artificial light that was nowhere near as bright as outdoor shade if that helps.

[@TheFamilyFarmstead]

Should the be misted in dry climates? I live in San Diego Ca.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

@@TheFamilyFarmstead there’s no need to mist the cutting that has no leaves. However if you weather is quite hot you’ll want to take that into account and adjust when you water it again after the initial watering when you plant your cutting.

[@yourtypicalmom284]

I’m new and is this plant drought torrent? Looks like and acts like a euphoria that’s why I ask.

[@DelightfulDissident]

I took a cutting from my Grandmother's tree when she moved, but it was the dead of winter. Then I forgot about it while it calloused. It sat in the corner of my laundry room for TWO MONTHS until I looked at it one day and realized, it's now or never. The stem had begun to wrinkle and I thought for sure it was a lost cause but I wrapped it up in peat moss with plastic wrap, and it sat unchanged until spring when it began to grow new foliage 😍 these plants are RESILIENT!

[@carmaela2689]

[@koolkid7343]

A natural substitute instead of using root hormone is "honey". I have always used this for plants and also on rose cuttings with great success.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

kool kid oh I’ve never heard of using honey

[@koolkid7343]

@@aGirlwithaGarden There is a lot of information available on the web regarding using honey as a root hormone. I found this one, urbangardengal.com/honey-rooting-hormone-cuttings/

Glad you said this I planted a cutting a few weeks ago and used honey. So far it looks good

[@BeautifulRoseRed]

The previous house I lived at had a tall mature plumeria tree and I got 3 cuttings from it before I moved. I followed your video instructions and they are now starting to produce leaves. I am so happy about this. I have mine growing indoors and monitor them daily. I normally water them 2 to 3 weeks when I water my other plants that I’m growing indoors as well.

[@deborahchristmas8752]

Awesome that you grow plants AND butterflies! When my mother-in-law went to Hawaii she brought me a little 5" cutting that I just stuck into a pot without any special care. It's now a HUGE plant that threatens to grow too big to bring into the house for the winter. It's about 5' tall and about 3' wide with leaves. It;s the most easy-care plant ever! And it has flowered for several years here in my NJ garden in the summers. I love your collection!

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Deborah Christmas that’s awesome! Yes with you living in NJ it definitely will need to come in during the winter. You could try giving it a good prune to trim down the size and length of the branches. Pruning plumerias is another video I sure want to make :) Thanks for watching!

[@elizabethmurphy5089]

Wonderful video, thank you. I watch it regularly, each time I plan to root cuttings. My first plumeria was given to me over 20 years ago, in the largest size pot there is, so of course I couldn't repot it, but it is regularly trimmed, and seems happy in it's sunny spot in S CA.

[@koreycowan1976]

My girlfriend lives in Alabama with me... she is From Oahu... we went to visit 2 years ago. I was amazed with the plumeria tree... they are the most beautiful trees. Anyway I'm also into bonsai... so I'm going order a cutting and bonsai one for the house. 😏.. MAHALO FOR THE INFO.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Korey Cowan Aloha🌈🌸🌺!! They are so beautiful. When I went there I fell in love with the Plumerias but also the Monkey Pod Trees. 🌳 if I could some how acquire one of these trees I’d be so happy. First I need the land to grow one of these trees then second I need the tree😋. Never seen someone bonsai a plumeria. Hope it does well for you, keep me posted 🌺🌿💚

[@idahogirl53]

Love that you raise butterflies. Amazing. And I just want to grow plumeria. It's the most beautiful sweet smelling flower there is

Now, after just seeing that gorgeous 🌺 Monarch butterfly, I'm curious to know IF you are still growing more Monarchs? Did you start helping monarchs pretty much the same time we were all hearing about the extinction of monarchs 🐛 if people do not help?

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello there 🌺🌿! Yes I am still helping to raise monarchs 🦋. I actually made a whole “How to” video on raising them along with other types of butterflies too!

[@lesliekoch7822]

I love this video ! about the monarch butterflies…Where did you get the eggs? I wanna do that!

[@h2oquality2010]

@@lesliekoch7822 Get the milkweed plant and leave it outside. The Monarch butterflies will find it through their high sense of smell and lay eggs on it. The eggs are small oval shaped cream color. Keep the catepillars protected in a very fine mesh cage as the Monarch catepillars have many predators such as wolf spiders, wasps, lacewings, earwigs, assassin bugs and tachnid flies that will lay eggs in the catepillar and then the larva will eat the catepillar until it dies. God bless you for helping the Monarch butterflies.

[@WanderingRoe]

Raising butterflies, can’t imagine anything sweeter. 🥰 Thanks for the video, I wanna try growing plumerias and this will help! Greeting from a fellow Floridian. 😁

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello from Tampa, Fl 🌺🌿 and so glad you found this video helpful 😁

[@seanhenry4830]

Thank you for the info just got my first cutting and your help is appreciated. Nice butterflies also.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Wonderful🌺🌿 and you are very welcome!

[@Engwadur]

Thank you for your video. We visited Hawaii last year and I brought home a cutting from the market. I tried to pot it and root it but it only rotted. I will say that it tried to grow new leaves at the top. I just wanted to say from my experience, growing new leaves isn’t a perfect indicator of rooting. I think it was using the remaining energy in the branch to try to grow.

[@MrManny532]

How often should you water after this process?

[@deepdudhat5435]

What happens when you cut a stem and plant it without waiting for week and without rooting hormone? Asking, because I just did that today😅.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

It is hard to tell what could happen. You could get lucky and it might turn out well for you.

[@diegolby]

How did it turn out? I'm about to trim my plumeria and am hoping to plant the clipping as quickly as possible.

[@lisac.brennen1832]

LOVE the beautiful monarch butterfly! Thank you for sharing her with us 🐛🦋 We see tons of them here in coastal Texas, as they migrate. I just received my first plumeria cutting and can't wait to try out your method... 🌸

[@Toomuchbullshitt]

I could only imagine what happen to them after the Texas freeze in February.

[@shehbaazyousufzai3167]

My favourite "tree" Wellknown and grown in Sub continent of Pakistan/India. Very nice smell. Tree becomes like umbrella. Yes very easy to grow. Doesn't go very high so good for small lawns as well. This plant is mentioned in the poetry of a very famous poet....Mirza Ghalib in past.

[@bilzarkz]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that saves plants. I spotted a plumeria branch on the highway in St Pete. After getting off at the next exit I doubled back and picked it up. It’s been in a pot for two years and I’m gonna put it in the ground today! Thanks for the video!

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

bilzarkz Oh awesome🌸🌺! That sounds like something I would definitely do😁 too! I was just working on my plumeria trees yesterday as well. Today is great weather for planting a tree in the yard!! Happy Easter🥕

I'm in Norfolk Virginia. The Monarch butterflies are awesome. Trump had to put holes in "the Wall" so they could migrate unobstructed. Mexicans should identify as Monarchs. Problem solved.

Hello love, it’s first day of Winter today. I first heard of this plant from a friend who visited Thailand and picked a cutting from there. I’ve browsed this plant on Amazon that’s available for sale (cuttings). Is it a good idea to order now or wait till Spring to start this plant? Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@virginiabates1709]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video ~ Javeness -you're well spoken, knowledgeable not to mention adorable! I'm taking my Plumeria out of hibernation and propagating some of the larger plants. I also have an enormous (6Ft+) African Milk Bush that started drooping overnight so I'll be researching what I need for that project too. Thanks for the expert advice. Do you TikTok too?

[@frankdatank6202]

Hello, thank you for the informative video! I’m excited to give this a shot. Quick question though, I came across a couple of large cuttings in a street corner (as big as the one on your pot in your intro) ofcourse I pulled over and saved them, haha. Is there any way of planting it as is? Instead of cutting them to single stems? Thank you again!

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

FrankDaTank Hello there 🌺🌿 glad you enjoyed my video and found it helpful. To answer your question yes you can root large cuttings. The process is the same but be sure to stake the cutting. It may take a bit longer for it to root but it is possible. How large would you say it is?

[@bex0rr]

Thank you for your video! My grandfather in-law gave me a cutting and 6 months later it hasn't rooted or died.... I'm so lost 🤣 Anyone know if I should try cutting and letting it calcify again?

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello there 🌺🌿. Sorry to hear your plumeria tree got damaged. I hope you were able to save it. Any potting mix will do, just amend the soil with more perlite to make it extra well draining😁

[@nicolenolen9513]

Hi, there! I received plumeria cutting from a friend just today; can I take that one cutting & cut it into multiple cuttings to propagate? It is about 2' long.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Yes, absolutely you can propagate a couple cuttings from that 2 foot cutting. Just remember to keep an eye on which side is up. You don't want to stick the wrong side of the cutting into the soil.

[@mariannel6560]

Is there a specific way to prune plumerias? I have several, but they're just tall trunk...I would like them to branch out. Hope you could help me with this...thank you

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

They will branch off naturally when it finally flowers. Some chose to cut the trunk to force it to branch but I find that getting to flower and having its branch naturally is a better way to go

[@MomoZz771]

Your butterfly are so beautiful! love it!

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Thank you!!! Last year when I had started I told myself this year I'll remember to keep a running count on how many butterflies I've raised and released. So far the number is over 170 butterflies and counting. . . :) !!!!!

[@darlenejohnson2662]

I have left my plumeria to dry for a week. Can I plant them now ?

[@nhenning82]

thanks for the info I'm gonna try this now!! And I always heard you should pour the root hormone into a plate or something and then use it so you aren't contaminating the hormone. Is that true? I assume it doesn't matter?

[@timorgrinevich9895]

thats a general rule while working, not to use your stock container as working space. got nothing to do with hormone specifically.

[@sagegreen3655]

your energy is wonderful. I just bought 2 plumeria's from a green house in Vancouver BC Canada I'm sure they have never been outside. Ijust reported them with your help. The big question I have is they have beautiful leaves they are about 12' high It is very hot and sunny here now should I put them right out in it or out in shade. I'm confused

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello there 🌺🌿… I would slowly move them into full sun. You don’t want to move them straight into full sun if they haven’t been growing under full sun. The leaves will burn. You can start off by placing it in a spot that gets indirect sunlight then slowly move it into full sun.

[@edithemerson7278]

Thank you! I ordered a cutting from a gal in Florida and Its not doing anything the way it is packed. I'm going to do this with it and I hope it grows with my Desert Roses. Love your video and helped me a lot!

[@marialopez9090]

Hi I'm Maria , I have about 5 cuttings they were growing good but I noticed the truck is turning yellowish . What color should a Plumeria trunk be ? I also have a problem with spidermits . I hope you can help me. Thank you.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

maria lopez Hello there🌺🌸. The color of the trunk should not be yellowing. Has your cuttings rooted? I would dig up the cutting to see what is going on beneath the soil. Overwatering cuttings is a common thing that may happen when trying to root cuttings. The color should look similar to the colors of the plumeria cuttings that are in my video. You can spray insecticide that helps to eliminate spider mites. It may require a couple applications to get rid of them. Hope this helps 🌿😁

[@paigesuttle9681]

I had no idea I was supposed to let the cuttings calcify before potting. Oops! Thanks for the tips :)

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Paige Suttle you’re welcome. Good luck on ur cutting :) let me know how it does.

[@krystine.lolo6]

How long after planting a 12 inch cutting should I expect it to flower?

[@takethevongwayhome]

Thank you!! I'm new to Plumerias and followed this for a handful of cuttings a friend gave me. Should you pull them out to check and make sure they aren't just rotting?? I'm in zone 8, storing them inside my house, and worried that it won't work

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Rachel Vong Hello there🌺. I don’t recommend putting the cuttings out of the soil to see if it has taken root or even to see it it is rotting. The roots that will first form will be very fragile. To check for rot just check the firmness of the cutting from time to time making sure that it stays hard. If you are rooting them indoors you’ll really want to make sure your soil is well draining and that it is getting adequate lighting as well.

[@Drsusanne]

Hi there, so appreciate your expertise. My gardener made 6 cuttings of my original plumeria tree (because the root was diseased) but didn’t dry them out for the week and directly put it into potting soil. This was 1 month ago and now I am seeing the base of each cutting is getting soft and shriveled…I think it has root rot on all of the cuttings! I am so sad by this…the original tree was 20 years old. I would like to recut all of the root rot out, dry them out and replant them with all of your suggestions and steps…is this ok to do? Also, although the base of the cuttings are soft, there are flower buds on all of the cuttings…will this be a problem? Thank you so much for your help!

[@waderet]

Great in-depth video! I also found they grow in the cheapest potting mix you can buy! and from fresh cuttings or partly dry cuttings...We just cut a chuck off one tree and plant it straight into the ground here in Australia, seems to work fine.

Can a long cutting from a very lanky plant be cut in half to end up with 2 plantings? (One of the cuttings would have 2 cut ends.)

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello there 🌺🌿! To answer your question yes it can. Just remember to be sure which size is up when your taking a double cut. The cutting won’t root if planted upside down.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Marlyn Davis Hope that was the only damage you sustained. Im so sorry to hear that. How large was your tree? I worry about my plumerias that I have in the ground as well during hurricane season. I would 😭😭 if one snapped in half. One of my viewer actually tried to root a plumeria tree that was about 5 ft tall. I wonder if they get it to root.

[@marlyndavis1367]

aGirlwithaGarden it’s in a large pot, but the bottom of the tree is still in the pot, has so much roots, do I take it out or leave it in the pot? The top part I will follow your steps in the video and see what happens.. it had so much leaves and it was getting ready to bloom it’s flowers😭

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Marlyn Davis aw no that is pretty disappointing that it was getting ready to flower. You can actually leave the bottom half along with its roots intact in the pot and it will regrow.🌸🌺 it there’s enough truck left over I would got back and give it a clean cut. It’ll throw out all kinds of new growth. My neighbor who’s plumeria cuttings that I had used that had fallen, They just cut the tree down to the stump and didn’t remove the whole thing and months later it came back with all sorts of new growth and it’s flowering now too.🌺🌸 So I would suggest leaving the one in the pot. That is if you want it to regrow.

[@marlyndavis1367]

aGirlwithaGarden for sure, I will just clean the top off... Thank you for responding😀 Much Aloha

[@ayesharumi1445]

You are so live person its amazing to see you 😍

[@collards4277]

How do you adjust the process if you live in a dryer climate than FL?

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello🌺🌿. So the process is the same for rooting. The only thing different is when you would water the cutting next. Also be sure to keep your cutting out of direct sunlight for the time that it is rooting. Normally you would wait to water again after 4-6 wks. However with you being in a dryer climate you might want to shorten that time to 2-3 weeks than water. Check the soil moisture after this time make sure the soil is dry. If it’s damp wait to water again till it’s dry then water throughly again. When you start to see signs of growth you can water as normal but until then don’t water it regularly as that can lead to stem rot if it hasn’t rooted yet. Hope this helps 🌺😁

Question for you! I have a big pulmeria like 8-9 feet. I want to transplant it but can't because roots are too deep inside. So is it ok if I take a cutting thats about 6 feet long? The cutting point will be like 3-4 inch thick. Will it propagate the same way as 1 foot long cuttings? Pls help! I'm moving and really want this plant to go with me.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello there 🌺 Yes, you can take a large cutting and root it. The largest cutting I’ve successfully rooted was about 4ft but I have seen larger cuttings root as well. The rooting process is the same way as if it was a smaller cutting. Hope this helps and good luck with your plumeria tree 🌿. Hope it does well for you 😁

Am I watering it to much if the tip of the new leaves are turning black and falling off?

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

It's possible it could be due to over watering however it might also be due to other issues like fungus.

Thank you for sharing. How about transplanting to a larger pot once it starts growing. Mahalo

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

You are welcome🌺!! Yes you can transplant it to a larger pot as it gets bigger. The rule of thumb is to never go larger than 2 pot sizes. For example if your plumeria is in a 4in pot. Two sizes up would be a 6in.

[@lebguyfever]

But those butterflies lay eggs on the plants and the caterpillars eats the plants. are you raising them in cage?

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

lebguyfever leb I have a bunch of milkweed plants in my garden which are the host plants for monarchs. When the caterpillars are just about to turn into a chrysalis I take plant clippings and place them in my screen housing enclosure. I have some photos of them on my Instagram. When they get all big and fat they become pray to wasps and birds that’s why I take them in when they get to that stage. Raise them up till they come out of their chrysalis and release them 🦋

[@100foldreturn1]

Hi I was wondering if you might know what kind of Plumeria plant that I have. The leaves are a bronze/copper in color. I have had this plant for about 5 years and it started from a shipment of seeds that I order through the mail. You can see my video of the plant on my youtube channel. Thanks!

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Ron D Hello there 😁🌺🌸. I took a look at the video you up loaded with your plumeria that has the different colored leaves. I’ve heard of variegated plumeria leaves but I’m not so sure about yours. One thing is when you start your plumerias from seed they are different from the mother plant it came from. Have the leaves always been that color when they show new growth every year?

[@100foldreturn1]

@@aGirlwithaGarden Yes, they have always been this color since they sprouted from seed. Thanks for replying as it helps me to try and narrow down this mystery variety.

[@roverlord4262]

Hello, thank you for the great video. I was wondrring if you maybe able to help. I have planted some cuttings into 3 pots, unfortunately one pot has died. No 2. Has some shriveling and possibly starting to become soft. And No 3. The stem is starting to go black slowly slowly. I do have some baby leave on the 2 i still have left. I more so just wanted to ensure they survived and i havent killed them. Initially when i planted them i didn't use a root or cutting compound and but actually i did get advised that putting honey on the tips helps. So i did so. If you have any ideas how to keep them and how i can make them become healthier it would be muchly appreciated. Also i love butterflies and that was amazing. Such a Wonderful idea.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello There, Sorry it took me a few days to respond to your comment. I hope your plumerias are still with us. To address the honey :) I have never tried rooting my plumerias with that method. I do know that honey is a natural antiseptic and contains antifungal properties and that could be why it can aid in root growing. I will have to try that out one day ;) but like I said I've never used honey to root any cuttings before. The plumeria cutting doesn't need any root growing hormone to root. I work with it because I have seen really good results when used. Now to address your Plumerias. I would cut back the soft and black parts of the cutting. It sounds like your cutting is experiencing stem root :( After cutting away the unhealthy part of the plant I would wait until it callous overs and then follow the steps again in my video. The plant still has some life left as you mentioned it has some baby leaves on them. Don't over water you're cutting. I can't stress that enough. Good luck with you're cuttings. Let me know how it goes :)

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Bryan thank you🌸💕💚!

[@m.j.sothoron3132]

you are loosing the root hormone by pushing it into the soil - perhaps you may want to poke a hole a bit larger than your cutting and as deep as you want it to be

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

M.J. Sothoron by wetting the cutting first and then dipping it into the power it sticks to the cutting. I’ve actually dug up a cutting before to check on its roots and the cutting still had the rooting hormone on it. However it wouldn’t hurt to poke a hole a bit larger like you mentioned and then place the cutting in😉🌺💚🌿!

[@kelso365]

Does the cutting need to be clean? I snapped a branch off the side of the road (like you!) but didn’t have anything with me to cut so it’s a messy break. Should I tidy it up first then leave it to dry out again?

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello there 🌺🌿. I didn’t collect my plumerias cuttings off a tree on the side of the road. My neighbor cut down their plumeria because it had fallen and they cut it up and placed it in their yard waste to be collected by the trash. So that’s how I got the cuttings. I don’t recommend collecting plumerias cuttings off of trees unless you are certain that the owner of that tree no longer wants it. I hope it wasn’t a tree on someone’s property that you took the plumeria from 😟?

[@kelso365]

@@aGirlwithaGarden sorry I was unclear - branches from the plumeria in my mother’s neighbour’s yard came down in a storm and they’d put the branches out for collection.

[@MDeits]

Thank you so much for this helpful video! I live in the SoCal desert and will be receiving some cuttings today, Sept. 20th. Should I be storing them in some special way - until Spring, or can I still prepare them as you show in this video?

[@suzieieler4224]

When should you water the plumeria cutting? We just planted one today that broke off a larger plant. Thank you!

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Suzie Ieler As far as watering make sure the soil that it’s planted in is well draining (this is really important). Watering depends on your climate but my recommendation when it comes to rooting a plumerias cutting is once you water the first time as your potting it up in soil. You won’t need to water again for 4-6weeks. Also check the soil moisture after this time make sure the soil is dry. If it’s damp wait to water again till it’s dry then water throughly again. When you start to see signs of growth you can water as normal but until then don’t water it regularly as that can lead to stem rot if it hasn’t rooted yet. Hope this helps 🌺😁

Great video! I was able to get some really big cuttings/branches from a tree that was being demolished. Should I plant the whole branch or cut into smaller pieces? Thank you :)

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Kitty Von Tastique you can do either 😉. The larger cutting if successfully rooted was about 4 ft tall. It’s not normally something I recommend for beginners that’s why I mentioned taking smaller cuttings but if your up for it you can definitely root larger cuttings 🌺😉

[@johntovar89]

Great video.. I have an indoor transplant in a pot. The main stem is very soft. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Thanks

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. As far as your plant I would be a little concerned with it not feeling firm and hard. When the main stem feels soft that could indicate stem rot.

I have some cuttings that a friend gave to me. They are crusted over. You didn't address whether or not you need to cut some of the crust off before dipping in the water/rooting hormone or just leave the end crusty and dip.

Hi. I followed your advice and got the fertilizer and now my potted plumeria are growing more leaves but no sign of flowering. I got this since April, is that too early to bloom?

Chanthana Hello🌸🌺. It’s possible that you’re I Plumeria is not quite ready to bloom for you this season since you just got the cutting April. I would still continue to fertilize the Plumeria throughout the growing season and hopefully next year your Plumaria will flower for you. As far as the one you have outdoors.

As for the one from last year I was ready to throw it out until I discovered that it still hard and still green on the inside. I transferred it to new pot and new soil and put it outside. I can see lots of roots when I took it out the original pot. I would say it gets 4-6 sun daily, but that was back in May or June and still no sign of leave, but not dead..lol. Does that make any sense? I've tried about 3-4 plants already in the past but not succeed. But then again I didn't know about these great tips so hopefully it'll make the differ this time 😉

do plumeria leaves fall to make room for new leaves

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

There are a number of reasons as to why your plumeria would start to drop its leaves but generally its because it's trying to make room for more/new leaves.

[@LoveVanillaRose]

How often do you water them? My plumeria is turning yellow, is that from too much water?

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

AnEclecticSoul are you asking about a plumeria cutting or a plumeria tree that has already rooted and now has yellowing leaves?

[@LoveVanillaRose]

@@aGirlwithaGarden Yes, It's a cutting that already rooted and was healthy when it was given to me. Do you think I over watered it?

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

AnEclecticSoul Yellow leaves can be a cause from different things. Overwatering may not always be the cause of your leaves turning yellow. Underwatering can also be a cause of leaves turning yellow. Is the whole leaf turning yellow or is it just around the edges? When you water your plumeria always check the soil to see if it’s dry or wet. Here in zone 9 around this time of year I’m still watering my plumerias that are growing in pots once every 10-12 days. However if the top few inches of soil still feels moist I’ll wait a couple days before watering. A moisture meter is pretty helpful also, which is what I use to help me determine if the soil is moist.

[@MrBoss-yk1tl]

Should we cut off any flower branches from the cuttings before potting it?

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello there 🌿, if your plumeria cutting has a flower inflow that is developing I would recommend cutting it off as you are trying to root it. The flower will take a lot of energy from plant and it should focus its energy into making roots vs growing a flower.

[@MrBoss-yk1tl]

Thanks I was in two minds before. After reading ur comment I removed the flower stem

[@mollygummings4045]

Once the flower buds are not blooming and flowers have fallen off, do I cut that stem off?

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Molly Gummings Hello there 🌺🌿 I would leave the inflow on it will fall off in the same manner that the flowers do. Sometimes if the inflow flower buds have been pollinated you can get a seed pod. Hope this helps 😁
