Since the Mother tree is growing down the street from me, the only ones out there came from me. So I don't think you'll find many available.

Oh, now I see why you don't know either the seed or the pollen parent. I forgot there was a "mother" plant. You just did all the work to get it registered from cuttings you rooted. Are these large plants when mature?

This plant is not registered. And yes, it's a huge tree.

Is the reason you did not register Madame Gallibert is because you don't know the seed or pollen parent? Perhaps it is registered, but with a different name. Shrug!

Do you have to know at least the seed parent of a seedling to register a plant?

No you don't have to know the parent. I didn't register it because it's not distinctive enough. There are lots of whites out there.

Now with the (probably) thousands of hybrids having been dumped on the market, most of it from Thailand, there are lots of everything out there. Plumeria will soon be like daylilies and orchids. Well, perhaps not orchids, since there are so many families of orchids. There are now over 125,000 orchid varieties. Sighing!

Hmmm, makes the world a better place if you ask me. I have 65+ new ones and hopefully a few of these will be worth registering.

I saw second seedling with inflo. Hurray!

Sad day, lost 3 (newly rooted cuttings) from root rot. Too much rain killed my 4-tip Aussie Pink, multi-tip DPS and single-tip JJs mini-white. I should have known not to root anything in June/July. My best rooting time is really mid-March to end of May. I was confident they were doing well because leaves were out but I was wrong.

Discovered a third seedling (Yugumbah Spirit) with possibly an inflo. This is the one that has blackish stem. I cut off the leaves, they look distorted possibly from too much slow release fertilizer from the almost everyday rain.

I successfully root all summer long but stop rooting anything mid-September.

Thank You!

I normally successfully root summer time but was away for over a week and it rained almost everyday rotting my just newly rooted cuttings. I knew I should have kept them'min the covered porch away from the rain but did not.

I can see that would be a problem, Gigi. One way I have tried to solve that problem is that when I pot up newly rooted plants, those coming right out of the 100% perlite, I use my standard, customized potting media (1/3 coarse perlite, 1/3 Black Kow, and 1/3 milled sphagnum moss) but mix my orchid media in with that. The orchid mix itself is customized but it will have fir bark and/or cypress bark, horticultural charcoal, expanded clay, and coconut fiber chunks. I would use 2/3 potting media and 1/3 orchid media. That opens up the mix quite a bit and the mix doesn't retain too much moisture. I also use unglazed clay pots for this first potting, the size depends on the size of that newly rooted cutting. Thus the clay allows moisture to more readily evaporate from the mix. I don't know whether this makes any sense, and I know we each have our own way of growing those cuttings, but I don't seem to have rot as a problem. Needless to say, like y'all in Florida, we can get gobs of rain over lots of consecutive days, as we have the last three days. Once these cuttings are established, and that may only take 2-3 weeks, they will then be up-potted to a plastic pot.

I think I might be able to save the 4-tip Aussie Pink Ken but not sure. If I don't go anywhere, I usually can keep my rooted cuttings checked and make sure they are doing well.

Good news Stardust seedling, promising inflo.
