Growing Frangipani from Cuttings

If you want to propagate frangipani (plumeria) from cuttings, follow these steps for successful growth. Choose a healthy stem from the parent plant and make a clean cut just below a leaf node. Let the cutting dry in a shaded area for a few days to allow the cut end to callus over. Prepare a well-draining potting mix using sand, perlite, or vermiculite. Plant the cutting about halfway into the mix, ensuring good soil contact. Water the cutting lightly and place it in a warm location with indirect sunlight. Mist the leaves occasionally to increase humidity and promote root development. Avoid overwatering as it can cause rot. Within a few weeks, roots should start developing. Once the cutting has established roots, you can gradually expose it to more sunlight and transplant it into a larger pot or your garden. Enjoy the beautiful blooms of your newly grown frangipani!
