Only if you're worried about them rooting would I cut them; if the cutting is rooted or almost rooted I'd leave them be.

You have leaves so I think you are good.

Yes, I wanted to make sure they are rooted. No doubt in my mind they have rooted AND now have inflo! There are several leaves on both cuttings, some of the leaves are pretty big, about 9" long. I think they will need to go into a pot with soil soon? I hope we keep up our warm temps so they can bloom before it cools down too much.

I was going to give one of the rooted cuttings to my DD who is a new plumeria enthusiast. She and her husband were coming to visit in October. But alas, she got a new job (yay!) and they are not coming. That would have been perfect. The cuttings probably would have been in bloom by then. Oh well, I would mail it off to her but I don't want to risk the inflo getting knocked off. Maybe they will come for Christmas. It would be easier to move when they are dormant.

If its rooted. Cheryl, it needs to be potted. I pot up all my cuttings in 1 gal. pots, but I do that simply because I buy 50 at a time and have lots of them.

I ship many plumeria that have inflo. I just put a bunch of shredded paper around that inflo before wrapping it in newspaper. I do that with multi-tipped plants too so that those tips will have something between them if/when pressure is applied to the tips. My plumeria are shipped semi-bare root.

Ken, I thought your wrapping procedure is trade secret? Just kidding.

Ok, my first seedling bloomed. The Maui's Beauty seedling turned out to be a real inflo not a false inflo.

For some reason, this reminds me more of my Rimfire but flower size is bigger. It's my first blooming seedling so I am happy !

That is lovely Gigi!

The secret is in the details, Gigi.

It's very nice. How about scent?

Scent is mild sweet fragrance but it is newly opened so not sure if it gets any stronger.

WOW !! Gigi! That color is amaze balls!!!

@Ken. The mailing tips might come in handy one day. I rooted them in 1 gallon pots cuz the generous cuttings I got were almost 18" tall. Should I go to 2 gallons? Do I shake off all the perlite? Usually I put them in half and half perlite:soil. But this time I went with 100% perlite. DD is starting a new job. I don't want to burden her with the worry of a new plumeria. I know she would worry. She is her mother's DD after all. No hurry there. I am hoping they will drive down in the winter.

I don't worry about any perlite sticking to the roots, Cheryl. Those roots are very fragile, so the less you mess with them the better. I use standard 1 gal. and "nursery" 1 gal. pots. One actually holds about 50% more soil than the other. I don't see any problem with going with a 2 gal. pot. Just be sure your soil is well-draining. These roots grow quickly and within a month, regardless of the size pot it/they are in, those roots will pretty much fill the space.

I'm waiting to see what it will do when it opens up more.

I found 2 more inflo on my seedlings. I'm very excited on the Stardust seedlings and another Yugumbeh seedlings.

Gigi, congratulations on your first seedling bloom!

I love that flower, Gigi. I hope my first-time seedling flowers will be half as beautiful. Have you decided on a name?

Kadie

Ken, I haven't thought of the name of this one yet but am toying with the idea that since the mother plant is a name of a place... Maui's Beauty, I will name this after a place too. I will wait though till I have an idea if this will be a bouquet type plumeria or not.

Nice Gigi!

Gigi, my very first (three) plumeria were brought back from Maui over 25 years ago. They were 6", pencil-thin sticks. I still have those three plants and though I keep them at or less than 6' tall, their bases are huge.

Wow, there is a place connection there Ken!

Couple more days maybe?

I guess that's a pod. I have never had one myself.
