I have never had any of my Plumeria produce pods.

What tips or tricks can anyone share, I would really like to do some hybridizing this year??
Is there a good web tutorial someone could direct me? I know 'Google' it, I feel lazy today with all this rain.

some say use a paint brush (small small size) use one flower to " collect pollen" and go to next flower and "distribute pollen" I think the way to do it twist the paint brush all the way down in the flower and spin slowly then do the same with the 2nd flower BUT i have never done it so that is just what i have been told

I've only done that with morning glories, and it generally works quite well. Don't know anything about plumeria, tho.

You can also use a pine needle or piece of straw. The chances are that you self-pollinate though. The science of exact pollination is quite tricky.

ive tried and never was success full do ants help / hinder plumeria?

what is this bug



damn grasshoppers are munching i kill 1-4 a day!!! omg

do you know why the branch is doing this like its dehydrating?
there is a indent down this branch but not the other its a rooted cutting 4 ft tall had good roots when re-poted 3 weeks ago

thanks

That bug is an assassin bug and they eat bad bugs so let him be!
That stick looks dehydrated yes but I also have some like that. no worries! it will probably perk up

Assassin bug, eh? Looks a LOT like a colorful version of our local stink bugs!

Looks very similar to what I get on my milkweeds? If those are assassin bugs I should have no more nasties in my garden. There are hundreds all over the milkweeds.
