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 Dale, Thanks for being a "liker"! Sounds like you are on your way to success with your new Plumeria plant. Enjoy it!

@@EdenMakers does cuttings need sunlight ? Cause I've put my cuttings in soil bags an left them in the cupboard with the water bottle?
@@tolotonga69 They absolutely need sunlight.
@@EdenMakers really even when they have no leaves ? I saw a clip where a person said it really dont need sunlight now cos your trying to grow roots an they need more bottom heat ? To why they take their frangipani inside the house during the winter

My pleasure @jeretta1000 Thanks for watching my video and commenting.
Great video thanks. I have 6 plumeria plants here in the UK . The oldest is 8 years old and it has never flowered. It gets 8-10 hours of sun from May to August and it sits a room of 18-24 celcius. Really wish it would flower.
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
How often do you fertilize it?
Until last year I fed it every 2 weeks with a Plumeria feed from March to September. I noticed the leaves were dropping off quickly and the soil had a green layer of growth on top. I usually stop watering November to January then feed from March.
Shirley I love you.
Thanks for the love and for watching!
I know every video says plumeria cuttings should be 12 to 20 inches long but I prefer cuttings about 4 to 6 inches tall and then trim the top to get multiple head from start.
Hi Bijan, Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
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!
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!
Amazing! Hahaha, i want to cut my plumeria and plant it but i feel bad for the leaves let alone the flowers! 😂😂
Hi Aaron! Thanks for watching! I understand that, but maybe you can enjoy the flowers in a vase!
Thank you for sharing! Easy tutorial ❤️
My pleasure, Cory, thanks for watching!
Just like that!
Yes! Thanks for watching!
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

Very informative, I LOVE plumerias and are in the process of rooting cuttings. What city are you doing this in???! Thank you, :) -michael
Thanks for watching MP Rents! This was filmed in Los Angeles.
Wonderful video. One question-I have 3 cuttings in pots now into their second summer in SoCal.. All three have good leaves but no flowers. Any adjustments I should make to get the plants to flower? Thanks.
Hi and thanks for watching! Make sure its in full sun. Some plumeria cuttings don't start to flower until after the third year. Good luck!
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?
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 If I do the pruning next spring will it set back the blooming? I've waited so many years for one of these plants and now that it is finally blooming every year I would hate to have to miss a year.
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.
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
Beautiful Plumeria's!
Thank you so much! I can tell by your name that you appreciate this gorgeous plant!!! Thank you so much for watching my video! I hope you will subscribe and continue to follow my content! I hope you have a beautiful day!!!
I have a single stem young plumaria that hasn’t ever flowered, just leaves, I just cut the leaves back for winter here in North Carolina coast. Can I cut it in half to propogate? Will the plant Survive and Y off from where I cut? Also should I wait until spring to do this and propagate the cutting?
Wait til spring. Yes you can take a cutting and it will fill out!
Very nice
Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback! Have a great day!
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??
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!
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.
Put a magnesium..
We have it here in Philippines. If you reply I will show you the channel
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?
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 the Orlando area and just stick them in the dirt. Partial shade tends to do a bit better, but full sun still works.
@@hotglasschick Awesome!
Great video, and I love it. What's the volcanic rocks/stones you added to the mix again for the cutting? sorry that I missed it
Thanks for watching!! I hope you remembered to give me a thumbs up!! You are referring to vermiculite and perlite. They add porosity and air to soil to improve drainage. Good luck.
I followed her instruction as close as possible. After a month, there was no growth. I then planted it into a regular plant soil and watered it every couple days and it grew out in 3 weeks. I don't understand why there was so much focus on the soil when regular potting soil worked great.
I'm glad it worked out for you! It's just the basic premise that you need a well draining soil that provides what it needs as well. Thanks for watching!
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?
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!
I have a plumeria. It’s only an 18” to “20” stem. Looks like leaves are starting to come out - but I don’t see flowers. Bowel I get flowers and how to I get it to branch out?
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.

@@EdenMakers Thanks a lot sister.
Can you share how much and how frequent watering should be once it has rooted and has established some leaves? Any suggestion for fertilizers too and how often?
When the Plumaria plant has a few leaves water about once a week or when the soil has dried.
Plant Plumaria’s in succulent soil mix so that it has good drainage. Regular potting soil is usually a little too heavy for Plumaria plant roots and may rot them
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?
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.
So helpful what do I do if the ends of branches start to soften
Hi Dawn, Thanks for watching. That is usually a problem with stem rot caused by cool temperatures and wet soil. Here is a link with more info:

once you have the established cutting in a pot do you then repot as you demonstrated in the beginning segment?

@@pamdunn6204 Most welcome!
How do we get more branches from a straight tree like the one that you just cut out thanks
In early spring, before the blossoms appear, prune the spindly or lopsided branches. Also remove broken, dying or dead branches. Cut each branch at a 45-degree angle approximately 2 to 3 inches above a branch junction. Two to three new branches will develop from each cut.
@@EdenMakers thanks, mine doesn't have branches yet, just a straight trunk, I was wondering what to do to get more branches.
When making a new cutting, should the mother plant be trimed again ? the ends are looking hard / unhealthy..should they be retrimmed to remove the calloused end ?
Not necessarily but if you do want to make a clean cut, cut right above a node so it can regenerate.
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.
It should be fine to cut now as fast growth will resume again soon. The mother plant, or original plant will leaf out again at cut location
@@EdenMakers Is it ok to propogate right before winter? We don't usually have harsh winters unless we get one snow every 8 or so years but mainly it doesn't get below 45 at night 55 in day.
@@k12works56 That's probably a bit too late, but there's an option of overwintering them, so they can be ready for spring time.

I wanted to ask a question that you might be able to answer. I have some plumeria seeds that are sprouting and at least three of them are white seedlings. Have you ever seen that before and why white instead of the normal green? I have a video of them on my channel. Thanks!
Very interesting Ron, in all my years growing plants from seeds I’ve never seen a white seedling! It’s albino looking. The first leaves that you see come up from the ground are technically the seed coat covering of the seed before it sprouts or the cotelydon. The second set of leaves are the “true leaves” and are green. These are the leaves that will harvest energy from the sun in photosynthesis. Thanks for sharing the video I wish I could answer your question. Have a beautiful Sunday!

Awesome, Jennifer! Congrats on your newly planted plumeria!
Do we really need to use a rooting formula? Can we not plant the cuttings directly to the potting mix ?
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!
@@EdenMakers thank you!
I have mine for a yr and no flower. What am I doing wrong?
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.
Hi, I live in Corona ca and found that a leaf minor infested my tree. Wondering how to get rid of them.
Hi Robert, I am sorry to hear about your leaf miner infestation. I have a reputable link that I will send you and hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions. www.planetnatural.com/pest-problem-solver/houseplant-pests/leafminer-control/
EdenMakers Thx for the reply.
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
Thanks for watching and sharing the additional tip.
Why is my plumeria blossoms dropping off? Iʻve watered it but they still drop off.
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.
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?
@@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.
✌🏽
Thank you!
I don't get why you gotta pull the leaves off...
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.
Can i plant in palm spring california
Hi Jacobe, Yes you can grow it there! Here is a link with more info: www.cvplumeriasociety.org/
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.

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.
12 inches is the best 😂
Thanks for watching my video!
Direct sun and still no bud why?
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.
EdenMaker it was from stem not seed n do fertilizer too
@@cdelosreyes808 It could be low temperatures or overwatering that is the problem.
Felt pots are great and inexpensive on eBay .

Unfortunately this video does not follow best practices by expert plumeria growers. Find a better source of information.
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.
You could get cutting for free if your neighbor has any plumeria tree. Why pay for cutting?!
That's true! If you have a kind neighbor who is willing to share a cutting, that's great! Thanks for watching!
Fun to watch but not very accurate info.
Thank you for watching the video! Now I’m so curious about what is not accurate!
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
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?
Rude idiot. Use common sense or are you that stupid?

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!
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.
