My Beautiful Thriving Plumeria Cuttings (3-6-16)
Wow, my plumeria cuttings were thriving pretty well! The larger one was already leafed out pretty nicely. The leaves were already larger than my hand! I'm so happy!
More about plumerias:
Plumerias are tropical trees and are famous for their beautiful flowers which are used to make leis (flower garlands). In regions with colder climates, plumerias can be grown in containers and brought indoors during the winter months. Plumerias have thick stems, leathery leaves, and an abundance of flowers from early summer until fall. In the tropics, some varieties can even grow to a height of over 30 feet! The plumeria's waxy, 2-4-inch flowers are very fragrant. Flower colors include pink, red, white, and yellow. Plumerias are commonly planted in containers and make excellent cut flowers. I hope my cuttings bloom in the near future! Surprisingly, I am also seeing inflos (flower stalks) growing on both of my cuttings, woohoo! Time to start thinking about giving them fertilizer...
