Bill, the bottle method works really well. I used this with the large cuttings that I got this year. I had to put the large cuttings(or should I say branches), in a bucket to support them. I also wanted to say that the raw egg did not always produce roots faster but once they rooted, the roots grew really fast. I think because the clear plastic allowed light, and heated soil faster, it created a much more ambient enviroment for rooting. Today I rechecked soil temps. Soil thermometer read at 90 degrees! Without the 600 watt HPS light, soil temps would have been much cooler, probobly around 70. Soil temps were 86 in my 1 gal plastic milk jugs. Kaneohe Sunburst(I broke off the inflo today), 1 Samoan Fluff, Red noid cutting, and Kimi Moragne are the only cuttings I got this spring that have yet to root. Andrew

Angel325 thank you for the advice. Unfortunately, i couldn't save my plumeria. i kept cutting all rotten stems/branches off until one piece is left, but when i looked at it, it's brown inside instead of milky white. I don't know if i can still grow this plumeria with these brown looking martial inside or it's already dead. Where may i order another plumeria? It's sad b/c i was planting for my mom so i can give to her as a gift. the upload picture is the same plumeria i am planting for my mom. Any help to get the same flower...

I tried to branch my Plumeria and cut it into two Pieces. The upper part I planted in soil and it grows beautifully. But the other part which I tried to branch just built some pimples, which I thought these could be the new branches. But thats it.. That was in September now its June. Nothing has changed, still the same pimples but No branches. Please, can anybody tell me what I have to do. Many thanks, Änny

When you say 'branch', do you mean 'root'? Sounds like the lower portion is what we refer to as a 'center cut'. These can take longer to grow because they have to generate all new growing tips. Patience. As long as it's not rotted you may be OK. Photos would help.
