[@michellegalgoci]

I just came home from Oahu with a cutting from the ABC store. I had no idea where it to start. Thank you so much for this video

[@russbailey4654]

Good information. I too grow several plumeria here in Texas. In our Master Gardener Propagation classes, they recommend to NOT dip the cutting in the rooting hormone, but use a small brush to apply the power. This will insure that you are not contaminating the rest of the powder. Also, lightly wounding the base of the cutting before applying the hormone helps stimulate rooting. I agree with limiting the watering before they leaf out, but once they start producing leaves, and I move them to direct sunlight outside, I water quite a bit (100 degree weather). It has been my experience that a high phosphorous fertilizer works best.

[@dng1477]

Great info Russ. I’m in Phoenix. Think this could work here too? I have a north facing patio. It gets more sun in the afternoon but of course high temps all day.

[@JA-qi9bc]

Hi I live in. Dallas. Just got two plumeria at an estate sale. They are extremely tall like 5' skinny with only flowers at top. Would appreciate any advice. Thank you!

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

@@JA-qi9bccut the top 16” off of each branch and put them in a cardboard box in your garage for 10 days to let the would callous up then plant them in the 50/50 pearlite potting soil mix just like in this video. The new cuttings will make brand new plants and the old skinny one will regrow two or three branches at each cut top. Good luck. It’s not hard yet still very rewarding.

[@robertjackson897]

Thanks for making it simple. Some of the other videos I have seen are not as instructive. You packed in what was needed. I feel confident implanting my Plumeria my son brought me back from Hawaii

[@Dac13190]

Followed every single step you laid out in this video and after ~3.5 months I am finally seeing some action/leaf budding at the top of my cutting! Thank you so much for this great video!!

[@deborahtkaczuk9503]

Thank you for the info. I purchased one via mail order and needed to know which end to plant and your “smiley face” analagy answered my question!

[@JanieP53]

This is a no nonsense tutorial on starting Plumerias. Thank you! I am in FL and I just callous and stick in the ground. I like the soda bottles with the drilled holes idea too! I think I might start using root hormone too. I have it, so why not use it!

[@danavestal3317]

Thank you! Great information! I’m hoping to keep a little bit of Hawaii at home in Texas! ☺️

Great. The grow lights are convincing. I have a Nebel Rainbow that is beginning to root. I've ordered an unknown from CA.

Entertaining, educational, funny, and the mallet had me laughing. I'm sure Katy (or Katie) found out about the table. I am about to grow my first one as my friend just brought it for me from hawaii. I didn't fast forward at all. Actually at times I did rewind. Bravo thank you I'll keep you posted

Out of all the videos on how to root your plumeria cuttings, I like this one the most. I am actually going to attempt this method for my cuttings from Hawaii. I live in utah so I definitely found helpful your tips on growing them inside and what to do during the winter, thank you.

[@annegravelle83]

I’ve wanted to grow plumerias since my trip in Hawaii 1998!!! I’m from Montreal Canada so our harsh winter time is brutal for these delicate tropical plants. I was soooo happy when I came across cuttings at downtown Disney in Orlando, so I’ve been buying mine as often as I go to Disney with the kids. The first 6 cuttings that I tried didn’t work out at all (I should have looked up videos) but the last 3 are coming a long slowly. I was able to find a plant of plumeria already pretty big, about 2 feet high. No flowers yet and but a good amount of leaves. I water only when the top is dry. The soil is the mixture you mentioned and I had my husband’s drill holes on the side of the pots. I Never thought of buying growing light but after watching your video, I just ordered the same on Amazon. After watching many videos on how to care for cuttings, and your video is the best. Very easy, and seeing your results (even though your climate is more cooperative then mine …) I will most definitely follow your way. My biggest plumeria lost some leaves, about4-5 leaves became “yellowish” and fell 😮 any idea what is wrong? Thank you!

[@andrewclairedrummond12]

Fell in love with plumerias in Hawaii as well, from Ontario - we were excited to see them at Walt Disney World as well but never purchased... These cannot cross the border into Canada. Rather, just inquire at a local nursery :)

[@ddwieland]

I live in Ottawa and brought a plumeria cutting from Hawaii about 10 years ago. I don't recall any prohibition, which would be as absurd as prohibiting tropical fruit. Has the bureaucracy gone that nutty in the meantime?

[@elmo1220]

Thanks for this tutorial. I ran to the store 20 minutes before they closed to get these items. I just brought the yellow plumeria back from Hawaii yesterday. Looking forward to seeing this grow!

[@1Kent]

Gotta feed the KZbin algorithm Beast. I had to use a heating pad for my caladiums. I just got a plumeria in the mail, it looks like a giant asparagus!

[@applecider2994]

I came here because I just received a cutting from my friend in Yuma AZ. She got hers from when she visited Hawaii. I'll be bringing mine back to Charleston SC. Your video was simple and informative. Wish me luck.

[@daleandrews3552]

Hey Tiki! Dale Andrews here from Lake Charles, LA. I'm both a "liker" and subscriber. We enjoy a subtropical climate here in Lake Charles, which is about 60 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. With a handful of light freezes here each year, I'll just scoot mine inside an adjacent fluorescent lighted heated room when a nighttime freeze is forecast. They'll stay the majority of the time outside on the patio. I must say that It's just great to live in a climate where we don't have to worry about snow and ice all the time, even in the winter. We can grow a variety of tropical plants outside here like most palms, Bird of Paradise, etc. Thanks to videos like yours when my cuttings arrive from a grower off of Etsy, I'll hit the ground running and have them started in no time. Thanks again and happy growing! 😁

What a fantastic video share and great Plumeria growing work! I'm getting ready to trim back and propagate my plumeria's. I've been growing Plumeria for 16 years. Sometimes it's been hit or miss, especially with getting blooms. I learned so many things from your video that I'm definitely going to implement! Thank you. I especially love the planting and watering system you do for the new stem propagation. And I'm going to mind my plumeria's better with fertilizer in the spring/summer and bring them in the garage with grow lights when they would usually go dormant in the winter. Yes, even living in Florida, my plumeria's lose their leaves, due to being in grow zone 9b. And we do get frost sometimes that have killed some of my big ground planted Plumeria's because of unexpected frost that I didn't cover them for. My question for you is: since we are full into summer here in Florida, should I just keep my newly planted stems in a morning sun place. We have plenty of heat. But I don't want to burn them out with our full day sun. Also, should I water them more often than once a month due to the extra heat? Thanks in advance!

[@Tiki71]

Thank you so much. When I bring them out in spring, I pot them up and set them in a location that gets a few hours of morning sun, then move them after a few weeks. Sometimes they throw a fit and drop some leaves, but with feeding they come back strong.

[@mangosnobsplants4657]

Interesting!!! Thank you for breaking it down. My mother just bought me a ton of cuttings and I SUCK at rooting cuttings so I'm completely overwhelmed. This video makes me feel like it's not a catastrophe.

You'll do fine. First couple of months, the main thing is to not cause rot with too much water. 👌🤙

[@B30pt87]

I'm thrilled to find your video. I have been wanting to growing a plumeria tree since I first smelled one in Hawaii, & I had found a variety that was said to (occasionally) grow in Zone 9B where I am. I knew I'd have to start it indoors, but I was otherwise without experience & didn't want to buy a cutting only to kill it. Then I thought, "You Tube"! And here you were! I liked, subscribed, and hit the bell, and I'll be watching the rest of your videos.
