❄️ Winter Rooting? (Dec - Feb)
If it is too cold for pots outside, scroll down to Method 2 (The Bag Method) below.

Step 1: Pot & Soil Preparation

The Mix: Plumerias hate wet feet! Use a mix that is light, fluffy, and drains very well.

Recommendation: Cactus Mix or a blend of potting soil and perlite/sand.

• Start with a small 6-inch plastic pot (black plastic helps hold heat).
• Plant the cutting 3 inches deep.
• CRITICAL: Plant the flat, dry end down (the angled side is the top).

Step 2: Heat = Roots

The Golden Rule: "Light and heat make the cutting root, not water."

• Temperature: Keep above 60°F. If colder, keep indoors on a sunny window sill.
• Lighting: Place 8-10 inches under a grow light, or on warm concrete.

Step 3: The Watering Schedule

WARNING: Over-watering is the #1 way to kill a cutting.

1. Day 1 (Planting): DO NOT WATER. Just plant it.
2. Week 1-3: Give it heat and light, but NO water.
3. Week 3: Give the cutting exactly 1/2 cup of water.
4. Week 4-8: Add 1/2 cup of water once a week.
5. Success: When you see 5-inch leaves, you can water thoroughly!

If you receive cuttings in December or January, it may be too cold for soil. Use this trick to start roots indoors:

1. Wrap the bottom 3 inches of the cutting in a damp paper towel (squeeze it out so it's not dripping).
2. Wrap plastic wrap (or a sandwich bag) around the paper towel and secure with a rubber band.
3. Place the cutting in a warm spot (top of the fridge is perfect).
4. Check every 2 weeks: Once you see white roots through the plastic, pot it using Method 1!
