Plumeria

1.) Plant the cutting in a 6 inch pot leaving 2 to 3 inches of soil below the bottom of the cutting. 2.) Water the plant with one quart of water using a very weak solution of a water soluable acidic fertilizer. Allow the excess water to drain off. 3.) I donīt know what your temperatures are but if they are 40 to 50 degrees put them outdoors in either full or partial sun (I would watch this carefully in the beginning. You donīt want to burn the plant.) 4.) Repeat STEP 2 every 3 to 4 weeks until 3 to 4 inch leaves appear. You can begin foliar feeding once the leaves appear or water more often if needed. Cuttings of green wood are VERY difficult to propagate. The wood should be firm and grey in color for best results. Also, the base of the cutting should be dry.......it takes about four days in a shaded spot. Then it should be dusted with rooting hormone. Soil recommendations: soiless potting mix or a sterile seed and cutting starting mix. I would not use regular potting soil.
