Mahalo. I have 2 giant pua keni keni and am always too scared of the bruising to even attempt a lei. Now i can with confidence. The ti leaf lei, ive made plenty but always a silly, haole kine closure but this technique is how i going make them in the future. I also love your idea to freeze the ti for future use, having short notice. When i want to make a ti lei normally i just cut the spine out, line up the straight edges into a stack then roll them up like i would a money roll. I put the roll into a big water jug then i simple add boiling water and put the lid on. I can continue about other chores until the leaves are tender. Your video makes me even more proud of hawaiian culture being pono. Aloha

Thank you so much for sharing! Hello from Maui !!!

[@jamee215]

I have a question… For the Plumeria lei- can that be stored in the refrigerator? I kind of need one for tomorrow… And I was thinking of using dental floss and storing it overnight in the refrigerator?

[@arinavandam9028]

Ohhh how stunning ive got 8 plumeria plants and i love them so much .!! Unfortually they dont like the weather here in the Netherlands. Last year ive got zero flowers. Hope this year will go better. Love and kiss from the Netherlands!!

Mahalo ohana!❤😊

[@corlissyamasaki3476]

Love this! How do you prep your pua melia before and after you kui your lei? Do you wash off the sap from the flowers? What is the best way to store the lei? I have gotten brown spots/ streaks when stored in the refrigerator . Mahalo.

Mahalo nui loa ❤️🌸❤️

[@sharisakudafong8903]

Mahalo for the video! I only have one small puakenikeni tree right now. Can only pick about 10 flowers at once, not enough to make a lei. Is there any way to pick some and keep them until I can pick another set to make a complete lei that has flowers the same color?

[@ritahirai5841]

Mahalo!!

[@anjunio4235]

Thank you for sharing. I wanted to know if I can pay you to send me a couple of puakenikeni leis for a graduation in California. I’ve searched many many websites but no one has this lei for sale. Or if you can send me enough loose flowers to make 2 leis, I would compensate and greatly appreciate it. Please let me know. Mahalo.

[@theinvincible7511]

Mem can I have some seeds of this plant.. please help.
