This is how you learn to grow plumerias. Through trial and error. Unfortunately I don't think it will survive. Cutting off the inflo, should of been the very first thing done before planting. Sorry you had to learn the hard way. Honestly there are several things you need to do in order to successfully root a plumeria cutting. I've had several rot over the years. I never root Reds or Purples. Only graft them because they are very hard to root. Only root in straight perlite. I use a clear plastic bottle so I can see when the roots have formed. I soak the perlite with water and let drain for 10 minutes or so. Then I put the cutting in the bottle 3 inches deep. I don't water until new leaves start to grow and I can see plenty of roots. So it takes anywhere from 6 - 9 weeks. Watering again to soon is what will kill them. Good luck
