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 🌺
@@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.
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!
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.
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!
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🥕
@@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/
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.
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!
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!
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!
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. 😁
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.
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 🌺🌿💚

Thanks again you were awesome. As I’ll be watching more of your videos Stay safe in Florida🧜🏾♀️💕mahalo
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?
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.
Thanks for a great tutorial and not talking garbage like most people do. I also live in tropical cyclone prone area (North Queensland Australia) and can relate to what you're saying...just never thought about propagating Plumeria myself. U make it look so easy. You're beautiful and so is your butterfly...(I'm petrified of them!)
Thanks for watching😉🌿 and so glad you enjoyed the video!. I try to stay straight to the point when I make videos 😉. Gardening and plant care takes some work but once you get the hang of it... it becomes much easier. Even with all my plant experience I lose plants too. It's nature 😉...you can only do so much....lol
Thanks for the tips. I just cut some plumerias from my neighbor, I didn't really know how to plant them. Now I know I have to dry them first. Thanks again.
QL TH that’s great that you have a neighbor that shared cuttings of the plumeria tree🌺! Hope your new cuttings do well for you😁 You are very welcome and thank you as well🌸🌺💚
Thank you for sharing, Jaiy. I got cuttings from a friend, let them dry out for a week, stuck them in a bucket with 2 gals. of water with one container of the same rooting compound, left them in the bucket for about nine days, dug small shallow holes for 5 cuttings, added a bit of fish fertilizer,then stuck the cuttings in the holes, and put the dirt back around the cuttings. The irrigation system waters them daily and thus far only one died but it was only about 4" long. The rest look great. Now to see if they can live through winter in the high desert. They survived all the other stuff I wasn't supposed to do. ;)
Oh wow thats awesome!! Nature seems to always some how find ways to thrive :) Good luck with your rooted cuttings hope they make it though the winter!!!!
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.
You are life saver! A friend of mine asked for a cutting from my plumeria plant and i had never tried to before so i turned to you tube for help and your video was so helpful and informative. I cant wait to try it. Thank you for your expertise and entertaining videos. Have a great sunny day in Florida! 😊😎🌺🌞❤💛💚
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... 🌸
Thanks to your video, I was confident in potting a plumeria cutting today! It already had some baby blooms, which I hope will continue to flourish as the cutting starts to root.
Hi there! Thank you so much for the content..I needed this video..I have a young plumeria tree and need to trim it..it’s very top heavy..can’t wait to trim it and replant!
Hey girl, I'm Dale Andrews from Lake Charles, LA. We're in the SW corner of Louisiana about 40-50 miles from the Gulf of Mexico and enjoy a classic subtropical climate here. When it does occasionally freeze, it does so only lightly (28-32 degrees) in the dead middle of the night, warming up into the 40's or 50's the next day. It's also quite rainy here with a afternoon shower almost daily in the summertime. It's almost frost-free and will snow about once in 10-15 years! I love the warm climate here without snow! We can grow most varieties of palms outside in the ground (e.g. Washingtonia and Canary Island date palms are planted all around the city). You get the idea. We are not warm enough, however, for Frangipani to survive outside, as even a light frost would kill the tender plants. We grow them in pots and a relative of my sister's ex-husband has had one for many years, scooting it inside during the event of a light freeze or frost. Your channel has provided a lot of useful info as I try to start my cuttings that came in the mail yesterday from a vendor off of Etsy. Thanks for your posts and channel.
Following all your instructions after bringing home to California my 3 kinds of plumeria cuttings from the Big Island - can't wait for those first 30-90 days to see growth!! So Excited! Thanks for your thorough explanations and products advice
Aloha from Kaua'i! You had me at butterfly wrangling! so awesome. I am excited to propagate some plumerias, thanks for the help! They basically grow like weeds here, but my house needs more awesome smelling plants and trees around the property. I am also growing some night blooming jasmine for some privacy, the amazing smells, and as a detractant for mosquitoes. win win win! Mahalo nui loa!
Aaron Villa You are welcome🌸🌺! and Mahalo for the great comment. Luv hearing from my viewers and if you have any questions when you get to planting let me know. I hope you’re cuttings do well for you🌺🥰
I don't know you, obviously. But I just love you. I live in Colorado but we have a house in FL and I love plumeria. I just ordered a cutting and it just arrived and I am going to plant/propagate it today but just wanted a quick refresh to make sure I was doing it correctly and this saved me. THANK YOU!
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.
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😭
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.
Thanks so much! We have a Plumeria in Southern California. After 2-3 years of a slowly growing and dying stalk, our Plumeria finally sprouted flowers. We feel so blessed! We thought it was dead?? Usually flowers are easy to grow in SoCal.
Brian Ford so happy your plumeria came back for you💚! I had a similar thing happen to me. Last year during Florida’s winter season I left my plumeria out during a frost warning and it died back to a stump bout 2 inches tall 😢.However I decided to try and save it even though I was almost certain it was a goner. I cut it back to healthy tissue (basically a 2 inch stump) re-potted it and added organic compost from my kitchen scraps added water and with some TLC now it’s almost 4 feet tall and about to bloom🌸🌺. So crazy in just a year it came back and is thriving as ever💚
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.
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. . . :) !!!!!
Thank you for the very helpful tips! I just received three cuttings of Lei Rainbow from Hawaii and thought I'd try my hand at plumerias again to add to my orchid hobby...and thanks for all of the delightful beauty as well!
Thanks for awesomeness video. This is my very first time grow plumerias from cut and they all grow so well and so fast. I use what ever grow hormone available in store. All 21 of my cuts are grow well and supper fast as well. Thanks again for an awesome video.
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
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.
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!
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?
I live in ground zero? From Irma - Big Pine Key (30 miles north of Key west) we got flooded to pir doorknobs! I lost do many orchids, palms, plumeria! That were so salt soaked, it was so hard to bring them back.....now up find some cuttings!! I love Frangipani's!! Miss having that tree on our yard. Thank you! I'll try to grow a cutting of a Plumeria! Irma destroyed our area, and we're still recovering. Sorry to yap......thank you so much!
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.
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?
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 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.
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?
Hi, love the video. I see you have both straight and branched off cuttings. Will the straight cuttings eventually branch as they grow? I appreciate the answer.
Lulu The narwhal hello there😁. To answer your question yes the straight branches will eventually branch off. They often do so after flowering. I’ll be doing an update video on my plumerias. I had to wait till they grew more and branched off to be able to finally show it in a video to you guys🌸💕💚
TYsm for excellent video. Helpful for beginners to see how to root USING ROOTING HORMONE powder. So many vids guys never mention it. And also good that u get to point with information immediately helpful useful information! 👍👍👍
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.
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.
Good video. When one of those that you rescued gets going maybe take it as a gift back to the person that cut it up thinking it was too far gone. You will be their hero. :)
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.
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 :)
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
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.
Anthony Graham I have one of mine in bloom right now. The rest have finished up this season🌺🌿. I would recommend using a blooming fertilizer come spring just to give your plumeria what it needs to bloom if you are growing it in a pot.
William E There’s a lot of info online on how to raise butterflies🦋 sorry I don’t have a specific link. I’ve been meaning to do a video on that topic just haven’t gotten around to it however I is to come so be sure to keep an eye out for it 😁💚!!
I am going to try this today as I have some that I already took off a plant that was getting too big. We live in Iowa so we have to bring these beautiful plumerias in for the winter. I love Plumerias and they are easy to grow.
Robert Garcia Oh no I am so sorry! That is the exact reason why I can’t plant one in my front yard in fear that someone might come along and cut a branch. So sorry to hear that someone stole your tree🌸🌺🙁. I hear stories like this all the time it’s so sad.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you wisdom and sweet energy. You are so sweet. I love your butterflies as well. When planting in the ground I was told to put stones at the bottom to help drain the water. I also used cactus soil. What do you think about this? It seems to be working my plumeria is doing really well.. I need to prune some of the branches and I want them to be as healthy as possible. Thanks again
Nice video! We just moved to Florida last month and our neighbor just gave us some Plumeria cuttings. Your video was excellent and we are heading to the nursery to go buy the supplies you recommended. Aloha and Mahalo!
Oh great!!! With winter season coming the plants are going into its dormant phase so don't be surprised if no new leaves start to form. I started these cuttings back in September and since then they have already rooted and grown some leaves right at the top. Good luck. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll try to help :) Have a good day!!
I loved the sounds of the cicadas!!! Thanks I just got 1 small plumeria cutting and had no idea how to best root it. I am also in face melting Florida sun so I am definately a new subscriber and neighbor!
5:00 - Not at HD or my local Lowes which is frustrating. Yet another Amazon-only product. Great vid btw. Going to give this a go with a recent Plumeria four-branch cutting. 🤙 Bigger pot, so adding plenty of palm + cactus mix.

Will plumeria bloom under shade netting?
Mine bloomed indoors under artificial light that was nowhere near as bright as outdoor shade if that helps.
Should the be misted in dry climates? I live in San Diego Ca.
@@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.
I’m new and is this plant drought torrent? Looks like and acts like a euphoria that’s why I ask.

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.

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.
kool kid oh I’ve never heard of using honey
@@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/

Thanks for the tips. I just cut some plumerias from my neighbor, I didn't really know how to plant them. Now I know I have to dry them first. Thanks again.
QL TH that’s great that you have a neighbor that shared cuttings of the plumeria tree🌺! Hope your new cuttings do well for you😁 You are very welcome and thank you as well🌸🌺💚
Thank you for sharing, Jaiy. I got cuttings from a friend, let them dry out for a week, stuck them in a bucket with 2 gals. of water with one container of the same rooting compound, left them in the bucket for about nine days, dug small shallow holes for 5 cuttings, added a bit of fish fertilizer,then stuck the cuttings in the holes, and put the dirt back around the cuttings. The irrigation system waters them daily and thus far only one died but it was only about 4" long. The rest look great. Now to see if they can live through winter in the high desert. They survived all the other stuff I wasn't supposed to do. ;)
Oh wow thats awesome!! Nature seems to always some how find ways to thrive :) Good luck with your rooted cuttings hope they make it though the winter!!!!
Very clear & concise tutorial on how to propagate plumeria from cuttings! 👍👍
Bryan thank you🌸💕💚!
It’s 8am in Australia and I’ve already propagated my branching red Frangipani thank you 🙏 🌺
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.
Wade R Thank you so much that’s awesome🌸🌺 and Hello to you in Australia. You guys have great tropical weather for plumeria 😁
Love the tip on planting and butterfly so pretty.
You are life saver! A friend of mine asked for a cutting from my plumeria plant and i had never tried to before so i turned to you tube for help and your video was so helpful and informative. I cant wait to try it. Thank you for your expertise and entertaining videos. Have a great sunny day in Florida! 😊😎🌺🌞❤💛💚
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... 🌸
I could only imagine what happen to them after the Texas freeze in February.
Thanks to your video, I was confident in potting a plumeria cutting today! It already had some baby blooms, which I hope will continue to flourish as the cutting starts to root.
You are very welcome 🌺
Hi there! Thank you so much for the content..I needed this video..I have a young plumeria tree and need to trim it..it’s very top heavy..can’t wait to trim it and replant!
Keniki's World you are very welcome! So happy to help🌺🌸
Hey girl, I'm Dale Andrews from Lake Charles, LA. We're in the SW corner of Louisiana about 40-50 miles from the Gulf of Mexico and enjoy a classic subtropical climate here. When it does occasionally freeze, it does so only lightly (28-32 degrees) in the dead middle of the night, warming up into the 40's or 50's the next day. It's also quite rainy here with a afternoon shower almost daily in the summertime. It's almost frost-free and will snow about once in 10-15 years! I love the warm climate here without snow! We can grow most varieties of palms outside in the ground (e.g. Washingtonia and Canary Island date palms are planted all around the city). You get the idea. We are not warm enough, however, for Frangipani to survive outside, as even a light frost would kill the tender plants. We grow them in pots and a relative of my sister's ex-husband has had one for many years, scooting it inside during the event of a light freeze or frost. Your channel has provided a lot of useful info as I try to start my cuttings that came in the mail yesterday from a vendor off of Etsy. Thanks for your posts and channel.
Very helpful.. Now I’m ready, thanks!
Arisu Mills you’re welcome!!! Hope you’re cuttings do well for you. If you have any questions I can try to answer them for you💚. Thanks you🌺🌸
Following all your instructions after bringing home to California my 3 kinds of plumeria cuttings from the Big Island - can't wait for those first 30-90 days to see growth!! So Excited! Thanks for your thorough explanations and products advice
Ah it's a baby girl butterfly 🦋! So cool!!!
Thanks!!!!! I need to do a video on my butterflies :)
So what you think about the new UA-cam eligibility requirements for the UA-cam Partner Program?

Thank you my dear, for sharing your video, much appreciate your time, and tutorial. 🙏🥰🥰
Aloha from Kaua'i! You had me at butterfly wrangling! so awesome.
I am excited to propagate some plumerias, thanks for the help! They basically grow like weeds here, but my house needs more awesome smelling plants and trees around the property.
I am also growing some night blooming jasmine for some privacy, the amazing smells, and as a detractant for mosquitoes. win win win!
Mahalo nui loa!
Aaron Villa You are welcome🌸🌺! and Mahalo for the great comment. Luv hearing from my viewers and if you have any questions when you get to planting let me know. I hope you’re cuttings do well for you🌺🥰
Night blooming jasmine it's the best smell releasing plants at night .
lebguyfever leb I know. I just planted up some confederate jasmine plant or also called star jasmine💕
I don't know you, obviously. But I just love you. I live in Colorado but we have a house in FL and I love plumeria. I just ordered a cutting and it just arrived and I am going to plant/propagate it today but just wanted a quick refresh to make sure I was doing it correctly and this saved me. THANK YOU!
So glad you found my video helpful. I hope your plumerias are doing well for you now🌺🌿
Thank you for this video! My plumeria got damaged from tipping over and broke a branch off. Now I'm going to have two plumerias!!
She and Debbie have great gardens and very descriptive in their garden care and knowledge ❤
Kimberly Isherwood Oh thank you so much! I really appreciate it 🥰💕🌸🌺!!
Thank you, we got hit with the aftermath of hurricane Imelda in San Antonio and my plumeria tree broke in half... i diffidently will try this😀
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.
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😭
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.
aGirlwithaGarden for sure, I will just clean the top off... Thank you for responding😀
Much Aloha
Marlyn Davis oh you are very welcome 🌿🌺! Hope they turn our well for you 😁
Thanks so much! We have a Plumeria in Southern California. After 2-3 years of a slowly growing and dying stalk, our Plumeria finally sprouted flowers. We feel so blessed! We thought it was dead?? Usually flowers are easy to grow in SoCal.
Brian Ford so happy your plumeria came back for you💚! I had a similar thing happen to me. Last year during Florida’s winter season I left my plumeria out during a frost warning and it died back to a stump bout 2 inches tall 😢.However I decided to try and save it even though I was almost certain it was a goner. I cut it back to healthy tissue (basically a 2 inch stump) re-potted it and added organic compost from my kitchen scraps added water and with some TLC now it’s almost 4 feet tall and about to bloom🌸🌺. So crazy in just a year it came back and is thriving as ever💚
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.
Thanks! got back from Hawaii a few weeks ago with plumeria stalks, so i cannot wait to plant them this weekend. thanks for the video, very helpful!
So glad you found my video helpful 🌺🌿! Mahalo 😄
Your butterfly are so beautiful! love it!
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. . . :) !!!!!
Thank you for the very helpful tips! I just received three cuttings of Lei Rainbow from Hawaii and thought I'd try my hand at plumerias again to add to my orchid hobby...and thanks for all of the delightful beauty as well!
So glad to hear and happy that you found my video 😉🌺🌿! Hope your new plumerias do well for you!!
You are so live person its amazing to see you 😍
Thanks for awesomeness video. This is my very first time grow plumerias from cut and they all grow so well and so fast. I use what ever grow hormone available in store. All 21 of my cuts are grow well and supper fast as well. Thanks again for an awesome video.
Ghibli that’s wonderful to hear 🌺🌿! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
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
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.
Thanks for the tips i just got a cutting and will follow these steps, with this video being 5 years old i'd love to see an update video
Love your videos! Please post more! ❤️❤️
Anna Sable thank you so much for the support it’s very much appreciated 💓!! I will for sure be making more videos too😁
OMG! This video right here! Thank you so very .much
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!
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?
I live in ground zero? From Irma - Big Pine Key (30 miles north of Key west) we got flooded to pir doorknobs! I lost do many orchids, palms, plumeria! That were so salt soaked, it was so hard to bring them back.....now up find some cuttings!! I love Frangipani's!! Miss having that tree on our yard. Thank you! I'll try to grow a cutting of a Plumeria! Irma destroyed our area, and we're still recovering. Sorry to yap......thank you so much!
Cristin Arnold so sorry to hear. If you have any questions feel free to send them my way. I’ll try to answer any if you have them. 🌸🌺💕!!!
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.
Thank you. Your shows are fun and brilliant.
Wow, thank you!
great video! I'm so excited to begin growing my two cuttings :)
MeShe1ly thank you so much. Hope you found it helpful🌸🌺
Agree with this informative video. I cut the end of the stalk at a 45 degree angle. This increases surface area for root growth.
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?
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!
I love this video ! about the monarch butterflies…Where did you get the eggs? I wanna do that!
@@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.
Love your monarch butterfly! ❤
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?
thats a general rule while working, not to use your stock container as working space. got nothing to do with hormone specifically.
Thank you so much for this video. Have 4 plumeria cuttings and am now very hopeful they will root. Definitely subscribed!
I had no idea I was supposed to let the cuttings calcify before potting. Oops! Thanks for the tips :)
Paige Suttle you’re welcome. Good luck on ur cutting :) let me know how it does.
love the Monarch,,,,,love it
nina flores 🦋 Thank you. Me too😁
Hi, love the video. I see you have both straight and branched off cuttings. Will the straight cuttings eventually branch as they grow? I appreciate the answer.
Lulu The narwhal hello there😁. To answer your question yes the straight branches will eventually branch off. They often do so after flowering. I’ll be doing an update video on my plumerias. I had to wait till they grew more and branched off to be able to finally show it in a video to you guys🌸💕💚
TYsm for excellent video. Helpful for beginners to see how to root USING ROOTING HORMONE powder. So many vids guys never mention it. And also good that u get to point with information immediately helpful useful information! 👍👍👍
Overthemoon yes of course 🌺💚 you’re welcome ! So glad you enjoyed the video and found it to be very helpful 😁!
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.
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.
Good video. When one of those that you rescued gets going maybe take it as a gift back to the person that cut it up thinking it was too far gone. You will be their hero. :)
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.
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 :)
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
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.
How often should you water after this process?
I saw some beautiful Plumeria's in Thailand. I saw one offered online and grabbed it. It is doing quite well.
Oh wow thats awesome🌺🌿!
@@aGirlwithaGarden Yes!!!! Thank you. Didn't get it timely enough for it to bloom, but always time for next year.
Anthony Graham I have one of mine in bloom right now. The rest have finished up this season🌺🌿. I would recommend using a blooming fertilizer come spring just to give your plumeria what it needs to bloom if you are growing it in a pot.
@@aGirlwithaGarden thank you, I had planned to, so I can those beautiful blooms next year.
Do you have a link on raising butterfly’s Wow they all some
William E There’s a lot of info online on how to raise butterflies🦋 sorry I don’t have a specific link. I’ve been meaning to do a video on that topic just haven’t gotten around to it however I is to come so be sure to keep an eye out for it 😁💚!!
JaiyCee that would be really cool
Thanks for sharing your wonderful information!! Very needed for me!!
Alex Fierro you are so welcome🌺🌿💚!
Thank you , youarr very informative. Good details , I had no questions afterwards. Thats nice ❤
@@audreygullas8728 you’re welcome ☺️!!
you and your videos both are very beautiful......👌👌😚😚
Thank you very much!!!!
The BEST video about Plumerias that I saw tonight. New subscriber. Thank you!
I appreciate it 🌿!! So glad you enjoyed the video 😁
My father cut our 10 years Plumeria tree for building purposes, this video makes me feel sad because I'm gonna miss it so much 💔
Paula aw I’m sorry to hear that. That must have been a pretty tree at 10 years old.🌺
Grow more !
I am going to try this today as I have some that I already took off a plant that was getting too big. We live in Iowa so we have to bring these beautiful plumerias in for the winter. I love Plumerias and they are easy to grow.
Good luck!
Someone stole my tree :(
Robert Garcia Oh no I am so sorry! That is the exact reason why I can’t plant one in my front yard in fear that someone might come along and cut a branch. So sorry to hear that someone stole your tree🌸🌺🙁. I hear stories like this all the time it’s so sad.
The butterfly, the flowers and you ..... All family because you are just as beautiful.!
eric vansteenlandt 💚Thank you so much 😁🌺!!
your cute
Henny Semitara aw thank you :) !
Mahalo for sharing the plumeria and butterfly
You are welcome 💚🌿!
Thank you so much. I appreciate you wisdom and sweet energy. You are so sweet. I love your butterflies as well. When planting in the ground I was told to put stones at the bottom to help drain the water. I also used cactus soil. What do you think about this? It seems to be working my plumeria is doing really well.. I need to prune some of the branches and I want them to be as healthy as possible. Thanks again
Thanks for the info. I found someone of FB that had a Hugh one that fell down in the storm.
Nice video! We just moved to Florida last month and our neighbor just gave us some Plumeria cuttings. Your video was excellent and we are heading to the nursery to go buy the supplies you recommended. Aloha and Mahalo!
That’s so awesome 🌺🌿! Welcome to Florida 😁
Thank you!!! Your video is very professional! Great Job.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much!!! I was lucky enough to get some cuts from my Aunt's beautiful tree.Wish me luck.
Oh great!!! With winter season coming the plants are going into its dormant phase so don't be surprised if no new leaves start to form. I started these cuttings back in September and since then they have already rooted and grown some leaves right at the top. Good luck. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll try to help :) Have a good day!!
Ver-mick-you-light :) . Great plant save ! These are easy to rot so def want to try again and follow your tips ❤
Great video was gonna ask about watering but found your answer in comments
mema a californian thank you 🌺! Hope your cuttings do well for you😁
Excellent video!👍
I loved the sounds of the cicadas!!! Thanks I just got 1 small plumeria cutting and had no idea how to best root it. I am also in face melting Florida sun so I am definately a new subscriber and neighbor!
Wonderful! Haha " Face melting Florida' yeah its been so hot lately and super humid!!!
5:00 - Not at HD or my local Lowes which is frustrating. Yet another Amazon-only product.
Great vid btw. Going to give this a go with a recent Plumeria four-branch cutting. 🤙 Bigger pot, so adding plenty of palm + cactus mix.
Your just a pure blessing ❣️
You’re too kind 🥰. Thank you!
those flowers are so healthy and huge!
I’ve successfully rooted 2 cuttings without rooting hormones, can’t wait for them to flower
Julie H Hello there 🌺 that’s great.
Can you mail me a cuttting ?
Drinks with Destiny send me a DM my email can be found in the description box 🌸🌺
