Plumeria Cuttings Not Rooting: Simplified Procedure for Success

Common Overcomplication

Rooting hormone, plastic domes, special substrates, and complex mixes are unnecessary.

Proven Simple Method

1. Let cut ends callus 1 week in shade.
2. Plant in vermiculite/potting soil mix (50/50).
3. Water, then allow to dry somewhat; keep between damp and dry.
4. Keep out of direct sun until top growth starts.
5. Optional: loose plastic bag with holes to slow drying.

Key Point

Roots form in barely damp—not wet, not dry—medium. Overwatering is the #1 killer.
