Plumeria cuttings in Canada
Comments (0)Hi Canadian plumie growers I am wondering if you have any places to recommend to get cuttings, anything to avoid, any problems getting them into Canada, etc. Joe, Montreal ps I will cross-list at the Plumeria forum....See Morenewbie - need advise on growing plumeria cutting in pot
Comments (18)Well, I finally put Plumeria cutting in pot. I used following soil mixture: 60% Cactus Mix 40% Perlite pea size pabble stones at top Cutting size: about 6-8" and 1" diameter I put the mix in 1G pot, soaked it in water and drained and then planted Plumeria cutting in it. I have a question: Now (only from today)that weather is getting warmer in bay area (N. CA), should I be keeping it in SUN during daytime at all? I heard somewhere that you need to keep this pot in shade for first 2 weeks. And, then start putting it under sun during daytime. Is this right? I am not sure what is the right thing to do at this point. Please advise. Thanks. Here're some photos: Plumeria in Pot Plumeria Cutting...See MoreGrowing Plumeria in Canada
Comments (1)hello, Laura, I am also in southern ontario. I got some cuttings last year: they are still inside: I think it is too cold to out them out. I have been advised by others on this forum that I should until night temps are in the mid 50F. I don't have much experience but lots of people on this forum are very generous with sharing their knowledge and experience. welcome & good luck. sue...See MorePlumeria in Ontario
Comments (10)Sorry for being slow responding...life sometimes gets in the way! Beth:. Unfortunately no, I don't do cuttings...now that my plants are established, I don't want to rock the boat! If I do some pruning, I'll let you know. Irene:. I wish I could tell you the secret...I think for me was largely luck! I bring the plants indoors in September and keep them under grow lamps until December when they naturally start to go dormant. Then lights off until the beginning of April (having given a bit of water once a month). As that point they start to wake up on their own. Then lights on and fertilize with high phosphorous...I think 10-50-10. Once it gets above 20C during the day (70F), I take them outside. That's about it......See MoreRobert (zone 7a, Oklahoma)
