New and Unread Tree-Mails
Hi I've been trying to root a Plumeria DIVINE cutting. But with no success. It has been outside in the sun since I got it. The claws grew a little and so I kept on watering it to keep it moist. When the tiny new leaves stopped growing and turned black as if they were dying, I noticed that the cutting was soft, squishy and even more wrinkled. Any ideas on how to save it? |
| Looks dead to me. If a few inches of the tip was still firm you could have cut it and started over but it looks to late for that. I think you have to thow it to the compost pile and try again with another stem. Good luck. |
| If you try again, don't water until it has roots to take up the water. |
| Plumeria cuttings need to dry off before you plant them. Say the cutting needs to grow sort of a callous for around two weeks. Then it will be ready for planting and keep the soil on the dryer side. |
| I am up in Nova Scotia, where particularly right now, it is very cold. I have several Plumeria started from seed, about 8" tall. Several times I have noted distress because of my overwatering. Same with my many Desert Rose plants. Too much water, and they rot. |
| I live in the San Bernardino County area and I have several Pluarian plants one is now over 8ft tall and I have them planted in the ground and I leave them out all year in the spring I give a good dose of fertilizer with a high phosphate level and it has bloomed from middle spring to fall |
