Mark, as Hetty said, there won't be any shock at all (they are just "sticks") since there are no roots. People root their plumeria in everything from 100% perlite to 100% soil. Everyone seems to have their favorite way of doing so. The main thing, regardless what you use, is to have that rooting-medium dry so that your stems won't rot. Until they are rooted, these plants rot pretty easily since they have no way to utilize moisture. I guess I am trying to get across that there is no One Way to root plumeria.

I can't tell you whether the heat generated by those 4 T-5 tubes will do the trick. Someone who roots under lights will have to help you there.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
