Plumerias 101 : How to Cut Plumerias

[@RollaSu]

Thanks...a video that actually shows what the title says...HOW TO CUT PLUMERIAS!!! Thanks.

[@Nrb2003]

Short and informative video. Thank you.

[@dannyumana143]

do you pot/plant the cuttings right away? I was told its best to let them out in the sun for somedays and then plant.. which works best?

[@flormorena132]

I saw in another video where she said to leave the cutting in the shade and wait 7 days before u reroot.

[@powtimothy1]

Yes. You should leave the cuttings aside im a dry place undercover so the wound callouses and dries properly. 5-15 days. Then later plant them in a well drained propagation media in a pot (eg; equal quanties of coarse sand and potting mix, maybe some coir peat in there if you like and some perlite for extra aeration, drainage). And be sure not to over water or leave in too hot sun....

[@alexisvazquez5608]

OMG! Its the principle from Ferris Bueller!

[@Floridaman457]

Nope. The scientist from Howard the Duck 😂

[@familyoffun1821]

One of my favorites thanks for the info.

Hi, i am in zone 9 and my potted plumeria shedded all leaves and went dormant during winter. Should I prune now in spring for new leaves.

[@garywardsr.4719]

Hi great video, is there a certain time of year to prune the Plumeria

[@Techknowverse]

geeze, I propagate mine with 3 ft long cuttings without any problem and I don't remove the leaves or cut the tips.

[@teklife]

i've planted about a month ago some cuttings that were quite long, maybe 2 feet long 50+cm, along with some smaller ones from a different tree. the smaller ones are showing signs of growth in the tips already, but the long ones, no such sign. the long ones, while they're longer, they're thin and woody, not fat and succulent like the smaller cuttings(different trees). do you think the longer thinner stems will grow/root eventually or should they have been cut shorter? is there a reason everyone says 8-10"? i thought a longer cutting would maybe have a better chance to grow/root.

[@susanrourke2587]

Hi, I grew my tree from an 8 in cut piece from Hawaii 9 years ago. It bloomed the second year I had it, but not since. My tree grew 7 feet tall now as one trunk many top leaves and no branches. I have it supported with bamboo sticks. How can I cut the tree down smaller, possibly use the top part with root grow to form a second tree next to it for support and make it healthier and stronger?

[@danielanderson9022]

Thanks for the info Mark. If I may ask, will the cut branches propagate new growth? I know I can root the cuttings, but I don't want a bare Plumeria the next season. Thanks in advance. P.S. - just subbed.

[@tiffanygonzalez8749]

They grow fast. Keep consistently giving plant food & water soon enough it’ll get flowers but mostly bloom around spring or mid summer

[@omegoa]

Ok that's great, but how do you treat the cut on the plant, itself. Do you ever paint, wax, or use some other method to protect the cut? Thanks!

[@marklewis4793]

the white latex oozes out n seals the wound,..built in liquid band-aid.

[@vickischnurr3383]

I do not mine to get big. It looks beautiful now in Florida. So what happens after I trim. Does it grow back or keep growing up.

[@TravelAgentCale]

I recommend using a sharp blade/saw instead of these clippers which can damage the cuttings.

[@kittyrock3017]

Have always been told to cut plumeria with a saw so it does not crush the plant stem internally, and to never pull leaves off but to cut them close to the stem so they do not leave large leaf scars...

[@maryannwengyn391]

What time of the year is best to start new plants, right now early winter in Florida

[@Ohcomeon369]

Good questions here. Unfortunately no responses yet.

[@droppin88]

bought some online and a couple are cut at an angle at the bottom. Is this going to be a problem when potting or do I need to cut them flat and let them dry again?

[@yahyaalsafoury9526]

For the new cuts better to leave them 3 days before planting So as to make the cut edge dry for better outcome

[@noravidal3072]

why are the lives on my Plumeria are twisted. is it to much water. in charleston we are I. Raining Season. too much Rain.

[@whiterose077]

WOW THAT'S A HUGE TREE. DID YOU ALSO USE WHAT WAS LEFT BELOW THE CUT?? OR DOES THE CUTTING NEED THE TOP PART

[@sourmissg]

I live in zone 7-A, I have 2 Plumeria's that have grown tremendously over the summer. This year when I put them in the basement of my house they are as tall as the ceiling. Pruning is needed badly When will be the best time to prune. And how should I do it Need Help!

[@eddyfaler5954]

I was always told to prune in the spring March or April

[@childcenterededucation8542]

That's very helpful

[@mohammadabdulsalam9286]

White liquid during pruning ?? In my plumeria

[@lasiodoragonzalez5270]

Great video! My potted plumeria has become much too large to bring into the house this winter. It's taller than me. Is it okay for me to take these cuttings in the fall/winter, or will it kill my tree?

[@festive101]

What did you end up doing and did it survive?

[@tictactoedias1908]

I thought they have to callous before planting?

[@ahmedjumaa1541]

hello really you are great man i like ur video and i want plant with you if u need to teach me how to get nice plant thanks

[@jamee215]

Thanks for the information!:)

[@Abcde12345ab]

i just planted cuttings in pot i would like to know where should i place them i mean in full sun or shady.

[@skippymagrue]

Full sun!

[@JSharp619]

do not put them in full sun until they have leaves, the shin on the cuttings may burn, keep them in a warm area with indirect sunlight.

[@ngsy3992]

Desert roses how to prune them

[@NGNG3]

Very nice! Thanks again. : )

[@jacquelinehonnebier7882]

very helpful!

[@mariaarevalo6874]

Help. plumera 911 my plumera has a yellow powder on its leaf and ends up turning brown dead. leave is it fungus or insects??? help thanks

[@skippymagrue]

Try spraying it with Neem oil. It's an organic oil that kills most insects and fungus.

[@bestgreenpest]

It's rust

[@pesetileone]

Hello im from nz and i love your videos, will my seeds grow in NZ as we dont have much heat like america, will mine still grow.?

[@JSharp619]

I've sent seeds to Britan and they are growing, plus there are growers in Australia, your only problem is during the winter they will have to come inside. My brother is growing a plumeria in Denver Colorado.

[@juliart007]

I want to get some cuttings from a plant. It has not bloomed yet. Can I cut now or wait till it blooms?

[@bestgreenpest]

Anytime is good

[@dianasengchanh4802]

I just buy ... learning how to take care them ... I live in Arizona so let see the weather go ... we got a lot sun light

[@JSharp619]

There are several Plumeria Societies in southern California and at least one in Arizona. www.socalplumeriasociety.com/plumeria-care.

[@bxpress6507]

about 3-4" section was accidentally broken off..would this still survive?

[@bestgreenpest]

Yes

[@manuelgaisser]

Thanks for sharing this video with us! Do you recommend to seal the plumeria tree after it is cutted? I'm wondering due to the reason that I had to prune one of my plumeria because of black tip fungus.

[@skippymagrue]

If your tree is healthy, you shouldn't have to. You only want to cut it when it is actively growing because then it will fight off disease better.

[@skippymagrue]

Also, sterilize your pruners if you are cutting more than one tree.

[@bestgreenpest]

After you cut it, let it dry out for 2 days or longer then you can plant it

[@firstname810]

Anyone know why my big established plumerias won't bloom?

[@JSharp619]

It may need some nutrition if you go to www.socalplumeriasociety.com/plumeria-care many of your questions will be answered. It may need a good trimming if you remove branches with multiple tips and leave the single tipped branches the growth energy stored by the tree has less tips to focus on and will create inflos.

[@MujionoBagus]

Plumeria

[@guidohabets]

These cuttings will rot. You'll have to dry the cuttings firsts untill the wound on the cutting is dry. 3 to 4 weeks

[@t.s.taylorhatlestad3662]

He forgot to say that they need to cure first but he’s not wrong.

[@j.p.7272]

Thanks for the video. Would be great if you could share your "Plumeria Knowledge" in the Plumeria Market Facebook Page: facebook.com/groups/plumeriamarket/ Thank you!
