A few weeks ago my Yellow Jack was blown over by strong winds from storms here, and unfortunately one of the branches broke off that had a blooming inflo. I decided to put the broken branch in water to enjoy the blooms, and didn't mind if it didn't make it. This is the first year that this plant has bloomed since I started it from a cutting years ago, so I was just being selfish in wanting to enjoy the blooms.
I went on vacation and came back a week later, and the branch in water is putting out roots. Is this typical for a plumeria to root in water? I've always read that cuttings should be allowed to form a callous before potting it up.
This morning, I found my white pudica knocked over, with 2 broken branches, one of which has an inflo. The leaves were drooping, so there's no telling how long it had been damaged. I cut off the bottom of the stems and placed them in water, and within an hour the stems had perked up. Luckily the lone surviving branch on the plant also has an inflo, so if the branches in water don't make it, I'll hopefully get to see the blooms on the plant.
I would greatly appreciate comments on the water rooting. BTW, this white pudica is from Mike's co-op last summer, and it was growing extremely well until it got damaged this week.
