Growing Frangipanis in Melbourne in Victoria
Comments (3)As Karyn said, plumies cannot take freezing weather or hard frosts. You are heading into winter so the leaves will yellow and drop off. The bare stems need no water or a mist on the soil until they start growing claws for you around the end of September or early October. Bring them out when the danger of frost is gone and give them some epsoms salts and water to wake them up. Follow with high phosphorus fertilizer every two weeks which you stop (in the southern Hemi) about Feb or March so the plant can harden up for your winter. If your temperatures do not get below 4C you can leave outside. If colder you need to cover with frost cloth if short frosts or bring inside for the winter. Bill...See MoreFrangipanis in cold areas
Comments (3)Hello, I live in the West Midlands and find the weather very variable even in one day.I am growing all my plumeria in the greenhouses at the moment with the seedlings average 6months old still on undersoil heating cable on top of sand.The roots are very happy as are the leaves -also the undersoil heat has made the rooted cuttings happy too- but come late summer to autumn I will pull them indoors and let the leaves fall off all but the smallest ones which don't lose their leaves, to accommodate them in a heated bedroom.You would have a phenominal heating bill to heat a greenhouse to keep them going well here in the Midlands.Good luck with your growing....See MoreI can't believe the size of this seed pod.
Comments (11)Hee Haw everyone..... said "Pedro the Burro"..... translated..... "Thank You" Yes it is a cutie we have had our eye on him for a couple of years but have not been to the market for about a year, the guy was selling all his products for 20% off then he took it to the nearest $0 so cheaper again. Pedro is a metre tall and so heavy. Hubby wants to paint him grey, shock horror I like him the colour he is as he sits well on the orange pebbles..I still have not found the right spot for him, it will come. Yes GH I will do as you say for his basket seeing they said on the news tonight we will have to water all of our garden with a bucket, gosh that is going to be hard, its such a big garden and they are not all natives. Thanks for that info about the seeds Alison very interesting hey if anyone wants seeds later you know who to ask. Pedro said he would be back later looking cuter than ever ....Cheers..MM....See Morefrangipani questions...
Comments (12)wow...thanks for that link. i'll give it a good reading... we've had a pityful summer, true. barely breaking 25 degrees. nothing short of lacklustre, but anyway... i posted the same post on the american aspect of this site, under the 'plumeria' section, and a guy posted back this clever technique which shows if your frangipani cutting is on the way out. he explains that if you prick the cutting down at the bottom, near the 'cut', it should bleed white sap. if it doesn't keep pricking all the way up the cutting until you find a spot where it bleeds. here is where you re-cut the cutting, and allow it do dry out again...i have two cuttings that are kinda squishy when i squeeze them, and i'm pretty much bracing myself for the worst. these cuttings however bleed down the bottom of the cutting. they don't bleed all that viscously, but they bleed. i was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for a 'resurrection', if possible... heh...i have been taking photos of the frangis' growing progress. i doubt they would make anything other than 'quaint' reading/viewing matter, as they are really small and nothing too special looking. i guess they could serve as "you can grow frangipanis in melbourne too!" confirmation photos or something...heh. thanks for the tips, mm......See Moremistymorn
