(8/14) I got a Y-shaped Plumeria cutting from a neighbor and was able to make two cuttings. I cut the ends at an angle and let them dry for about a week. Roots will grow from these ends directly and not from nodes like many other plants. Plumeria grow quickly from cuttings and should start to produce flowers in 2-3 years.
I placed a mesh at the bottom and filled with stones to help with drainage. You do not want mulch or other organic material at the bottom that may steal nitrogen or hold too much moister. Plumeria is a soft wood and will rot quickly.
I filled the planter with good quality potting soil with a mix of small stones.
I wet the end of the cutting.
I dipped the wet end in a rooting hormone.
Repeated the process with the second cutting.
