cuttings with brown wrinkled portion (rooting)
Comments (10)I wonder if you could spread a 1/2 layer of perlite over the pea gravel -- would that keep the gravel from getting too hot? I know a lot of people are directed to the Plumeria 101 site, but I think those directions have to be adjusted for our individual, unique growing situations. I've had stem burn happen when it gets somewhere between 90 and 100 degrees. It might depend on how the cutting had been grown (sun vs. shade?). And, our summers can be so wet and humid that I never thoroughly water my pots when I first pot up the cutting (per Plum 101). I slightly 'pre-moisten' the mix and I believe this gives the cutting enough moisture to encourage rooting, but does not encourage rot. Then, like tdogdad, I create an indentation in the potting soil, which I partially fill with perlite, then place the cutting on that and fill around the cutting the rest of the way with perlite. Our ambient humidity will keep the soil moist for quite a long time. Only when we get really hot will I spray the cuttings and the top of the soil a bit....See MoreWrinkled Plumeria Stems

Comments (3)Hi bean-sprout. I had that problem with the wrinkled stem quite a few months ago and posted a note here. The popular vote was basically it was thirsty. I had one recently that I noticed was getting a wrinkled stem too, so I watered it, and it's starting to look better. I think the once a month thing during dormancy sounds like a good plan. I've also read that in the spring it's good to give them a good healthy watering with superthrive. Good luck on that and keep us posted. I'm sure you'll get a few more suggestions.

Comments (6)Jean- I sure appreciate your response but every question you ask is in my first post explaining my problem :-) But I think I'm good right now. Since I've moved the plants I can see that the 2 plants that get shriveled tomatoes are from the same variety. Other two plants are fine. Strangely I can get a cluster of five tomatoes, and 3 will be gorgeous and 2 shriveled sitting right next to each other. So who knows? Guess I just won't use that variety again. Thanks for taking the time to respond....See MoreKatherine
