I have now rooted several 'Celadine', all single-tip. For the vast majority of us, it is too late to do any rooting, so rooted-plants are what is best. Special pricing. Contact me via T-Mail.

Just want to add a recommendation of Ken's plants. I just bought a couple of his rooted plumeria including a Celadine, and they arrived in great shape and never missed a beat. They're big and healthy, and putting up new leaves already, just 4 weeks after shipping.

I tip my hat to you.

This weekend I got approximately fifty more plumeria plants, all new varieties, and this practically doubles what I normally have on hand. Some are still in flower and some even have seed pods! Hurray! These are all cuttings and as per Hetty's recommendation, they are all now in perlite to overwinter.

This will be my first ever experience in handling seed pods and I am excited to finally have some. Thumbs up They have all been grafted onto Celadine, Shirley's Delight, or Riviera Rainbow root-stock and I will keep these growing in a GH over the fall/winter, hoping the seed pods will mature and produce viable seeds for me next summer. Hurray!

Here are a few pictures of those five plants with seed pods. A couple of them even have flower stems and one is in flower, though only a single flower right now.
