Getting ready to cut back my Plumeria

[Catscankim]

Free if you want a piece. Plumeria aka Frangipani aka Hawaiian Lei flowers. Its my prized plant (to me anyway). I have to cut back a bunch of it. I will probably have 6 or 7 pieces when i cut it.

It likes florida lol. Loves the sun. It can be contained in a pot or put in the ground where it can get huge quick. You would get what looks like a stick. Put it in a bit of dirt in a pot, keep it moist and in the sun. It doesnt mind getting dry after it gets established. It actually prefers dry. It will lose most, if not all of its leaves in the winter, even in florida zone 10. Even though it can get big, the roots do not grow into your house foundation. They stop and grow in a different direction if they run into something...like your foundation.

I bought my “stick“ 2 1/2 years ago for $30 or $40 and it needs to be tamed already. I dont want to throw away the cuttings, but i wont have room for them all.

After i cut i gotta let them dry before giving them to anybody, so this will take some time. Like soap!!

I live in Kentucky, but grew up in Hawaii and the plumeria flower is still one of my favorites! Unfortunately it will not thrive here LOL

No thank you! I have a funny story to share about plumeria. My brother LOVED them so he got some seeds and was growing quite a few of them. Every time he saw me he'd ask me if I wanted one. I kept telling him I didn't have space for any more plants. This went on for years! Well he passed away unexpectedly a couple of years ago and his wife asked me to come over to get some of his things. While I was there, she asked me if I wanted a blueberry bush he had growing in a large pot. I told her I didn't have room but since it was his I just had to have it. It was a pretty large bush in a big pot - it took three of us to load it up into my truck. When we got it home and unloaded it, I noticed a single stick in the pot next to the blueberry. You know plumerias, so you know that they look like sticks when they lose their leaves... It starts to bloom at the beginning of July, just in time for his birthday. And it brings a smile to my face every time I see it. He got me!

Is it still in the pot or did you put it in the ground?

I love plumeria, but sadly they wouldn't survive in the cold wasteland of a MN winter.

Keep it in the house with a grow light! Its a very forgiving plant!

I have 2 indoor plants that both can survive a lot of abuse. Anything that can’t doesn’t last long here. I used to have lots of plants, but not any longer. The two survivors are both at least 30 years old.

I have a southern facing window but Manitoba is coooold. If you think it can come through the border and if you don’t mind sending it i would love to try growing one.

I would love to have a stick of plumeria! I would be happy to pay for postage and your trouble. I live in the Midsouth, so I imagine I would have to bring it into the house in winter, but I love the scent.

That’s very kind of you to offer your cuttings. I wish I lived in a warm climate. I love plumeria. Reminds me of our trips to Hawaii.

I miss plumeria and leis from when I lived in Hawaii. I wish I had any kind of green thumb to keep one indoors. I live in Central Pa so it’s not likely to survive however I have seen quite a bit of hibiscus here this past summer. The decent is heavenly! You’re so kind into offer some cuttings!

 

[The_Emerald_Chicken]

I'm in northeastern VA, so I'd definitely have to keep it inside, at least for the winter. But I do love plants. If you have extra cuttings, I'd love to give it a try!

[Catscankim]

I still need to do cuttings. I will try to make it that everybody who wants a piece will get one.

 

[maxine289]

I'd love a stick, if you have enough to go around. Happy to pay for shipping. Let me know.

Didn't think you forgot, just thought you had a life - LOL. Yes, let her do her thing and keep her healthy. We'll wait.
