Finally got the chance to take a photo of the shortest Hausten White cutting. My normal Hausten White Cuttings are normally 12 to 16 inches long if single tipped to give it better chance of rooting and flowering same year or following season. This one broke when one of my bigger plumerias was blown away by the wind. I didn't expect this to survive so I just stucked it on my succulent pot with dirt and forgot about it. Now leaf is clawing out. This is a little over 3 and slightly less than 2 inches above soil line.

This is a dwarf pink Singapore that is 3 1/2 inches tall or slightly over 2 inches above the soil line that I rooted on purpose. Very slow grower since I rooted this earlier than the HW. It looks like instead of leaf it is trying to produce an inflo.

This is the 2nd shortest HW cutting, just a little over 3 inches above the soil line. Since these are normally large trees, I don't think I will see any bloom on the short HW until 2 to 3 years. It is like growing these from seeds. It needs to achieve its full normal length before it can bloom.
