Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper care is crucial for successfully rooting and growing your multicolored plumeria cuttings. Upon arrival, allow the cuttings to air dry for a few days if they feel moist, which helps prevent rot. Plant the cutting about 3-4 inches deep in a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti, or a mix of perlite and peat. Ensure the pot has drainage holes. Place the potted cutting in a location that receives full sun for at least 6-8 hours daily. Plumerias thrive in bright light and warmth, which are essential for stimulating root development and future flowering. Avoid overwatering; only water when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch, as excessive moisture can lead to rot.

Maintain a warm environment, ideally above 65°F (18°C), as plumerias are tropical plants. Rooting can take anywhere from 4-8 weeks, sometimes longer. During this time, mist the cutting occasionally, but do not saturate the soil. Once rooted, you’ll see new leaf growth. Begin a regular watering schedule, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Fertilize established plants during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or one high in phosphorus for better blooms. Protect your plumeria from frost; in cooler zones, bring container-grown plants indoors before temperatures drop. Consistent plumeria plant care will ensure a healthy and vibrant specimen. For optimal results with frangipani unrooted cuttings, provide consistent warmth and bright light.

Size & Details

Each offering includes one multicolored plumeria cutting, unrooted. The cuttings measure approximately 10-12 inches in length, providing a substantial piece for successful propagation. While the cuttings are healthy and firm, please note that their shape might be naturally curved, which is characteristic of plumeria growth and does not affect their viability. These are unrooted cuttings, meaning they will require a rooting period before they develop into full plants. With proper care, these cuttings will develop a strong root system and begin to produce their beautiful, fragrant flowers. Expect a moderate growth rate, with blooms typically appearing in the second growing season after successful rooting. The mature plant will develop into a compact shrub or small tree, ideal for diverse garden designs.
