I was wondering if anyone knows how long you can wait before planting a cutting? Everything I've read says 1-2 weeks but I'm moving soon and would like to wait longer. Don't want it to die!!
Thanks

I think it can wait for several weeks. I have seen cuttings for sale in some garden stores, who knows how long they have been cut off from the main tree.

But you do have to note that as the season's change, cold weather will naturally induce dormancy. So even if you want it to perk up, it will not be as easy. So better to wait for Spring to plant it if that happens, just keep it stored in a dry area if it already is going into the cold months.

I've seen where there has been wax put on the cut ends in stores. I mean, the cuttings in stores are there much longer than 1-2 weeks, I'd venture to say? IDK anything about wax but maybe that is for long storage?

If you are moving soon soon I would say it would be much easier to transport it to new home and then plant. That way you don't risk any damage to newly forming roots while moving and trying to keep it stable in it's pot. Another option would be to add a very small amount to the bottom of cutting some damp sphagnum moss and bag and tie it. It might help it get ready for the move and start to root while still being secure and easy to move with. Good luck

I have stored cuttings for months without problem. Cool, dry and in the shade.

You could always start the bag rooting process. Won't take up much more room then the cutting already does.

I have a plumeria cutting. I did not let the end cut dry out. I forgot this step. I put rooting powder and planted it in a clay pot prepared with soil and perlite. Will it survive? I have it in a shady area as I live in Florida and don't want to put it in sun just yet.
Help please

You can easily store it for a couple months with no problem.
