​@@EdenMakers Hello, excellent information I have had my cuttings in the shade for 3 weeks following the advice in this video. I have a question When can I take my cuttings out into direct sunlight?☀️

[@EdenMakers]

@@yilenacastillopollard3386 Hi and thanks for watching! After keeping them in the shade for 3 weeks to allow for root development, you can gradually introduce them to direct sunlight. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help with the transition. Start with Partial Sunlight: Move your Plumeria cuttings to an area where they will get morning sunlight and remain shaded in the hotter afternoon hours. This helps them acclimate to the stronger sunlight without causing stress. Gradual Increase: Over the course of 1-2 weeks, slowly increase the amount of direct sunlight they receive. Start with 2-3 hours of morning sun, then move to 4-6 hours, and finally to full sunlight as they continue to develop roots. Monitor for Stress: While transitioning, watch for signs of stress like wilting, leaf burn, or yellowing. If you notice these, pull back to less sunlight and give the plant time to recover. Full Sun: Once your Plumeria cuttings have hardened off and show no signs of stress, you can leave them in full sunlight. Plumeria typically thrive in 6-8 hours of direct sun once established. Make sure to water them moderately, as they need time to develop strong roots before handling too much water and heat.

Hi Shirley, I'm a "liker" from Lake Charles, LA where we enjoy a solidly subtropical climate, being about 50 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. Last week I got a ROOTED 'Teresa WIlder' plumeria from an online place called J&J Plumerias. I was lucky and they sent one that is about 3' tall and has 3 branches and some several small leaves on each branch. It was earlier April last week, so I suppose the smaller leaves are just emerging after hibernation. Anyway, it's now April 17, 2024, it's about 80 degrees and it's overcast. I just watered it today, not soaking it since it isn't truly hot outside yet. Great video and good teaching moment! Happy gardening! 🪴

Hi! Great video! Please could you tell me when I can water the cutting again?My cutting has been planted for a month and a half and the leaves have already started to grow but the leaves are like sad downwards

[@EdenMakers]

It sounds like your plumeria cutting is showing some signs of stress. Here are a few things to consider: Watering Schedule: Plumeria cuttings need to be watered sparingly initially. After planting, allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot and stress. Root Development: Check if the cutting has started to develop roots. This is crucial for its ability to take up water. If it has rooted well, you can gradually increase the watering frequency. Leaf Appearance: The downward drooping of leaves can indicate either overwatering or underwatering. Ensure that the soil is well-draining and that you're not keeping the soil too wet. Light and Temperature: Plumeria cuttings prefer warm temperatures and lots of sunlight. Ensure they are getting at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Fertilization: Avoid fertilizing newly planted cuttings until they have established roots and are actively growing. Given that your cutting has been planted for about a month and a half and is showing some leaf growth, you can lightly water it when the top inch of soil feels dry. Monitor the condition of the leaves closely to adjust your watering frequency accordingly. If the leaves continue to droop excessively, it might indicate a need for more or less water, or possibly another environmental factor affecting the plant's health.

I have 3 plumeria in pots outside that I bring inside during winter and here in Texas that sun seems to be too hot for full sun all day so I move them around ,when you take the cuttings do you do it at a certain time of the year? Do you need to pot up as the plant grows? Love all your tips I will definitely change the soil mixture. Thank you!

[@EdenMakers]

Hi and thanks for watching! Cuttings may be taken at any time of the year, however, root establishment appears to be most successful in the spring and early summer. Plumeria cuttings may be stored in a warm and dry location for many months. Growing the plant in a container requires repotting a plumeria yearly, in most cases. This encourages optimum growth and beauty. Hope that answers your questions!

[@EdenMakers]

June Parsons It is certainly old enough to flower. Typically it takes a few years for you see anything. Do you fertilize in the spring? This will help tremendously

[@EdenMakers]

[@limvo1260]

Gret video. A quick question, after you take the cutting and dip it in a rooting hormone. Do you need to cover the tip before letting it dry out? I thought I saw some video of someone telling me to do that. My wife bought me a cutting from Hawaii, I figured what I did wrong was to let the cutting sits in water overnight before planting. It's all rotten. I cut the rotted part off and I can see the milk running. So I am starting the entire process all over. Thank you.

[@EdenMakers]

Thanks for your question. Give the cutting a new cut, dip in rooting hormone and then set aside (not in direct sunlight) in order to allow it to callous over

[@jacqulynjohnson653]

Is cactus soil and perlite an ok combination to use?? I have 3 small “branches” from my friend in FL. She said to just poke them in the dirt and let them go. Well, me being from MI, they need to go into a pot. I have the terra-cotta pot and a root-dip if needed. Just trying to decide on my soil. Any suggestions?

[@EdenMakers]

Hi Jacqulyn, Thanks for watching! Any well-draining potting soil will do. Plumerias do like a slightly acidic soil which you can have by using a camellia/ azalea soil and adding some perlite for added drainage. Succulent soil is also suitable for plumerias!

[@indiastormborn360]

Hi, I bought a cutting from Hawaii, super excited to plant it. I live in South Fl. I wanted to plant it in my backyard, but now I'm thinking that it rains too much so that might hurt the plant. I really don't want to mess up, so I should just plant it in a pot, for now, right? Can I plant it in the yard once it's bigger and it forms roots? The instructions on the box say to put it in direct sunlight right away, but I'll trust you and put it on the patio for now. When is it time for it to be in the Sun? Finally, where can I buy all those soils? Home Depot?

[@EdenMakers]

I wouldn't worry about the rain. Where Plumerias are native, there are tropical storms and lots of drain as well as dry periods. Once your plumeria has established roots you can plant it out in the ground in full sun. I don't know how cold it gets in your area but if winter brings temperatures in the 30's plumerias need protection. In that situation, I would plant Plumeria as a potted plant so you can move it indoors or to a protected area in the winter. Plumerias do best with well draining soil so if you are potting it, you can use a Palm or cactus mix. Both garden centers and big box stores carry this kind of soil.

I live in tx and I have a large plumeria planted right in the dirt. It’s pretty high but no blooms yet. It’s almost 2 years old and was a tiny plant when bought. Why isn’t it blooming yet?? Another question should they just grow in pots only??

[@EdenMakers]

Hi Joann! Your plant is still young! It only needs to be in a pot if you are in a climate that requires you to bring it indoors while it goes dormant in the winter. Usually it takes about two years for the plant to become strong enough to bloom. This is totally normal! Hang in there! It's worth the wait! Make sure it's getting at least 6 hours of full Sun, and make sure to fertilize! Fertilizers high in phosphorus will promote blooming. Thanks for the great question!

[@terrymd3293]

Hi Joann, I'm just north of Dallas. Couple of suggestions for you. A) Make sure you feed it with a good fertilizer. When you read the NPK rating, you want the one with high 'P' number. You'll probably think getting a bloom buster type fertilizer because it promises blooms and blooms is in the title lol. They usually have a 'P' number 50 and above. Using those damages your plant in the long run, stick with something no higher than the 30's. B) They do need plenty if sunlight, but that doesn't mean direct sunlight all day. Some like being shaded, some even do good under a porch, it seems as long as it gets bright sun light. C) Worst scenario, it maybe one that rarely blooms. That certainly can be a possibility. Plumeria's don't all bloom at the same time and with it being 2 years old(young in Plameria age lol. I've heard some people have had to wait 5-6 years before it bloomed. These 2 reasons are why I always suggest that you need more than one Plumeria. The third reason is because if you only have 1, you will fuss over it which usually does more harm than good. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your excellent video. My question: if I prune back a branch will it divide and become two branches? My plumeria is getting too tall. Will this pruned branch produce an inflow or will it just divide and produce leaves for the rest of the growing season?

[@EdenMakers]

Yes, you can prune a plumeria to create a more bushy, compact plant instead of a single stem plant. Best done in spring. Select a healthy stem with a "v" junction and prune about 3 inches above it to promote new growth.

[@EdenMakers]

Hi, Thanks for your question. To encourage your plumeria to flower and branch out, follow these tips: Encouraging Flowers Sunlight: Ensure 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Watering: Water deeply but allow soil to dry between waterings. Fertilizing: Use a high-phosphorus fertilizer (e.g., 10-30-10) during the growing season. Temperature: Keep temperatures above 60°F (15°C). Soil: Use well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Encouraging Branching Pruning: Cut the stem back to 12-15 inches to stimulate branching. Pinching: Pinch off growing tips to encourage side shoots. Growth Hormones: Apply growth hormones to pruning cuts if desired.

Hi! I have a plumeria cutting I received from a friend, but it’s just one stem. Will it eventually branch out on its own? Or do I need to encourage it to branch? Right now it’s about 12” tall with lots of leaves on top!

[@EdenMakers]

Hi! Thanks for watching! Plumeria typically grows when young as a single stem and can be encouraged to branch out by pruning the tip (apical stem). Prune the tip right above a node and this will encourage side branching. Keep in mind that a single stem has most of the growth hormone at the tip of the stem which directs the growth upwards instead of laterally. This is called the “apical dominant” stem. Once a stem is cut the hormones become active lower on the stem creating new side growth.

[@teri2dmg335]

Can I cut and plant it anytime during the year ? I actually have a small plumeria that needs a bigger pot but it's already February, so is it fine to repot ? What happens to the parent plant when it is cut off from the top as she did ? I guess a branch will grow off on the side and the plant will continue to grow taller.

Very interesting Ron, in all my years growing plants from seeds I’ve never seen a white seedling! It’s albino looking.

I heard someone people said to put in sunlight and someone people said to put the plant in where there is no sun only. So.. Im a litttle confuse to where to put the plant in the house

[@EdenMakers]

Hi Cathy, Thanks for watching! Plumeria prefer full sun, but they'll tolerate partial sun and partial shade conditions. When grown indoors in colder climates, keep your plumeria in bright light during the growing season. There could be several reasons why your Plumeria is not doing well. Please review the link I send you below. Feel free to ask me if you have any further questions. www.guide-to-houseplants.com/plumeria-care.html

@@EdenMakers i known my plumeria pot has a fly insert flying in the pot and i check the bottom of the pot a fly inserts flew out of it.. Is my pot rotten? I dont know what to do? Should i re pot it..?

[@pw8014]

When your plumeria cutting is curve should you cut it to make it straight and then put it in a pot, or just leave it curve

[@EdenMakers]

Hi Patty, You can leave the curve when you plant it, but for more extensive and detailed information I encourage you to take a look here: plumeria.today/care/propagation/

[@roni9275]

You can use just normal garden soil...this plant doesn't like rich soil..in my experience keep the soil well drained and keep it under direct sunlight...I do spray npk 19:19:19 in 20/25 days interval...and don't over water it

[@EdenMakers]

Thanks for watching and sharing Roni :-)

How many days we dry the stems .plz answer 😍💚😍

[@EdenMakers]

Hi The time needed for the plumeria cutting to callous over depends on air temperature and humidity. Average dry air will take about 1 week. 10 to 12 days for more humid. Average only

I live in Houston TX and looking to transplant a plumeria that is root bound. Can I do it now in September because it goes dormant in November?

[@EdenMakers]

You want to transplant when it comes out of dormancy during spring, but if your plumeria is outgrowing its container, and have exhausted the potting soil, it's better to transplant it at any time to avoid root rot through winter. Here's some info on their care during Fall/Winter: www.rogersgardens.com/blogs/current-news-events/how-to-care-for-plumerias-during-the-fall-winter-season#:~:text=Caring%20for%20your%20Plumerias%20in,well%20before%20bringing%20them%20inside.

[@asondareyes5482]

I have mine for a yr and no flower. What am I doing wrong?

[@EdenMakers]

Hi Asonda Reyes, There are three main reasons for a Frangipani not blooming. In addition to the six hours of bright light the plants require, they also need fertilizer at the right time and pruning occasionally. Pests can also attribute to non-blooming in plants.

[@JenPadin]

Do we really need to use a rooting formula? Can we not plant the cuttings directly to the potting mix ?

[@EdenMakers]

Hi Jen, Thanks for watching! No, you don't need to use rooting hormone for cuttings. It's not necessary to use on herbaceous plants that root quickly on their own, but it is beneficial to use when propagating plants that are slow to root, succulents, and expensive ornamental landscape plants. So it is not absolutely necessary, but can be helpful!

[@JenPadin]

@@EdenMakers thank you!

Awesome, Jennifer! Congrats on your newly planted plumeria!

[@visitationbrittain5582]

Why is my plumeria blossoms dropping off? Iʻve watered it but they still drop off.

[@EdenMakers]

Sorry to hear that. Excess moisture can cause both plumeria flower drop and plumeria bud drop. Plumeria plants can rot from getting too much water or standing in wet soil. Sometimes plumeria bud drop is caused by cold temperatures. Overnight temperatures can dip at the end of the growing season.

[@visitationbrittain5582]

Thanks for the reply. The plumeria is in a pot, so the drainage might be blocked. I live in Jacksonville, FL. Do you think I can repot or put it in the ground now?

[@EdenMakers]

@@visitationbrittain5582 I don’t know what your climate is like but if you have warm weather and no frost you can plant it in the ground.

[@marcosaureliobregensk159]

[@setfreetm5821]

I don't get why you gotta pull the leaves off...

[@EdenMakers]

Whenever you propagate a plant from cuttings, you want to focus all the energy on setting new roots on a cutting and not maintaining the leaves. This is why you reduce the leaf surface area.

[@the_l_wolf165]

It’s best not to let them go dormant it has a higher chance of dying the best thing to do is keep it above 40 degrees Fahrenheit

[@EdenMakers]

Thanks for watching and sharing the additional tip.

[@cdelosreyes808]

Direct sun and still no bud why?

[@EdenMakers]

Hi Christopher. Thanks for your question. If you have a seed grown plumeria it can take 4 to 5 years to flower. Other reasons for not blooming: Not fertilizing. Fertilize your plumeria plants Spring-Summer,. Overwatering. Let your soil dry in between waterings. Do not subject your plumeria to temperatures under 50 degrees.

[@cdelosreyes808]

EdenMaker it was from stem not seed n do fertilizer too

[@EdenMakers]

@@cdelosreyes808 It could be low temperatures or overwatering that is the problem.

Thanks for watching. Please elaborate on what information you didn’t agree with! I’ve been in the gardening industry and specialize in nursery and propagation practices for 25 years. I have grown and propagated numerous plumeria plants with success for my landscape projects in California.

[@sarangin2828]

Plumeria is not a tropical plant. Plumeria is a desert tree. Related to the cactus family. They originated in the deserts of Mexico, they just end up in tropics. Beautiful plumeria you have though.

[@EdenMakers]

Thanks for watching and commenting Sara! Technically, a "tropical plant" is a plant that grows within the "tropical zone" surrounding the equator. The "tropical regions" are those areas within the "Tropic of Capricorn" which can be found at latitude 23.5 degrees south and the "Tropic of Cancer" which is at 23.5 degrees north. The Tropics include both wet and dry (desert) areas- so you are correct about Plumerias being endemic to the dry tropic areas of Mexico, as well as Central America, Australia, and other areas within the "tropical band." Generally, the term "tropical" is associated with wet, rainforest climates but in horticulture, "tropical plants" include "sub-tropical" plants and have more to do with geography than climate.

You could get cutting for free if your neighbor has any plumeria tree. Why pay for cutting?!

[@EdenMakers]

That's true! If you have a kind neighbor who is willing to share a cutting, that's great! Thanks for watching!

[@larrytaylor9258]

Fun to watch but not very accurate info.

[@EdenMakers]

Thank you for watching the video! Now I’m so curious about what is not accurate!

[@brasiliamedina]

Liar, you can’t grow plumerias in any state. I’ve been trying to grow em in Utah (park city) which is a ski resort town and it’s just too cold for them. Of course indoor now, I rather root the plumeria instead of just plant the cutting raw

[@EdenMakers]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Plumerias can grow in cold climate areas provided you grow them in containers and bring them indoors when temperatures dip down to the 40's. Have you tried storing them bareroot over the winter and potting them up again when temperatures rise over the 40 degree range?
