Great illustration, Hetty. You might remember, back in late summer/early fall, I asked about rooting some cuttings taken just before I forced all my plumeria into dormancy. You told me to try it but that they might not root. Well, you were right. I had a large bundle of 6-8 cuttings in rooting medium, sitting in my greenhouse for five months. It took the 'Celadine' cuttings 2-3 months to root and the 'Scott Pratt' still has not rooted. They have not rotted, just haven't rooted. I learned my lesson! Ken
