Finally! Someone who ACTUALLY shows how to do and explains why!!!
*Really useful*, thanks! Now I know why my plumerias are looking a little sick indoors. They do get a lot of light in the morning but seems a grow light is needed after all. The have leaves and flowers coming still so I'm going to try keeping them going through the winter. Thx so much for this and the other cuttings video!
Thanks for the information. I have lots of plumerias with no leaves, I will take them down to my unfinished basement.
I starting to get spider mites on my leaves, I sprayed it with alcohol and water mixture and they still come back.
Spider mites can be awful..
@@PlantzNThings do you have any suggestions?
Thank you.. I saw these at home depot today...
I have one in my garden, it grows quickly, and as I heard it grows quickly in warm places and can stay for long time without water! But I water it every day! Thanks for your videos bro
I love your videos. Thank you😊.
Living in Chicago and trying to save these plummerias. They are in the stick stage, brand new but some have shriveled and dried up. Roots are damp though. It is tough to keep it somewhere cold if you don't have a lot of room in the house
I understand... I ran out of cool spaces as well... so i keep mine in my grow room in a darker corner behind the furnace... i keep those ones totally dry... but check on them occasionally for excessive shriveling
Nice video, lots of good info.
Hi. I live in WA state and was given a plumeria cutting. The instructions say I should not let it go dormant the first year. I have a grow light, but will that provide adequate warmth?
I used to grow these from seed, I had about 12 big plants but I've given up as with the cold winter they all died.
Hello, soo great video! I have a question. I own small plumeria and I just re-potted it since she started lost most of leafs and previous owner said if she do not grow new leafs I need to re-pott her in bigger pot what I did. Now the question - do I need give plant to rest time or since she is young and small just continue to take care about her so she starting again give new leafs?
I little rest is good... but give it a little water if you want it to start coming out of dormancy... let the solid dry before you water again... when the leaves start growing again you can increase the water amount a little... but always be sure to let the soil dry between watering again... plumeria can rot.
Im jealous 😒 your plumerias look so pretty and big! I've had a small plumeria plant in a pot for 3 years but I haven't seen any blooming yet. I'd like to know how long does take to see the flowers after planted. 😊
Be patient. I have one started as as a stick and 5 years later boom its taken off.
Can I overwinter the cuttings of Plumeria? I have three cuttings, which I bought online few days back. Can't plant them now, as winter is very harsh in this part of India (Shimla). please help me to save those cuttings. Thanks in advance. Looking forward your reply.
What is your zone ? I’m in zone 5b. What should I do with this plant ?
Curious what the benifits are of trimming the leaves compared to leaving them on. New to plants. Thanks in advance!
if you are planning on growing them over winter it would be best to leave the leaves on... if you are storing them dormant removing the leaves will just cut down on the mess inside... all of the leaves will fall off and be a good hiding spot for pests...
Hi! I live in New Jersey. I have 3 4-yr. old plumarias and its time to bring them in. They are now tall and lanky and I know I need to prune them back. I want to save the cuttings and plant for more plants but I don't know when to start the process of planting them since I cant bring them outside until April. should I cut them back closer to Spring when they are still dormant or should I cut them back now in November and if I do that, when are they ready to plant? thank you for your input.
Hey there! My Plumeria is forced to tolerate zone 8 climate here in SW Washington. It’s really young and about 2 feet tall. Any advice for a beginner in odd climates? It’s an indoor plant until well after the last freezing temps and spends it’s summers outside. I’m fraud to cut any of the leaves as it’s so young.
you can leave the leaves on if it scares you... if you don't want it to go dormant that's ok... you just need bright light inside.... and keep it on the dry side.... I force mine into dormancy because space is an issue... I remove the leaves because they will just fall off in the house anyway... it saves a lot of mess clean up :)
Thank you for the very informative video. Have a question for you - the very first plumeria you showed has 2 branches. Did you trim it when it was little to get that branch or did it develop that branch when you bought it? I have a young plumeria with one main stem n many leaves - do I need to cut it to encourage its first branch? A reply would be greatly appreciated.
It did that on its own. If you grow them from seed a few will branch readily when they're small... but with most the branching will occur when they start to produce their inflow... they commonly produce 3 branches when they develop the flower.
@@PlantzNThings thank you so much. Thats really useful. I was quite clueless and was in a fix whether to trim or not to and given that it's giving out new leaves I didnt have the heart to trim. But with my other plants, I adopted the no trim approach as a novice gardener and they became too leggy afterwards. Your answer was very helpful. Thanks so much.
awesome bill just fantastic plants they look lovely good luck with your flowers :) and with plants that produce that sap do they have to come inside for the winter ??
Nice! I guess I need to bring my plumeria and adenia (adeniums? ...is one plumeria a plumerium?) inside soon too... I am in USDA Zone 5a here in Upstate NY... I hope the smaller ones can survive dormancy because there's just not enough space for them upstairs anymore.
AJToad Yea you will need to bring them in for sure :) the small ones should be fine... if you are worried, give them a lamp on a timer for some light. however i would keep them on the dry side. last winter i watered my seedling sparingly once a month or so.
Are these the typical size of the Plumeria? I bought one and the claws are finally starting to uncurl and become leaves! So exciting! Also do I have to winterize them and let them go dormant next year or can I keep a plant light on it? Thanks! Loved your video and subscribed.
You can bring them inside and don't have to let them go dormant if you have a nice south facing window with enough light. Depending on where you live and if it is not getting enough light, you can supplement it with grow lights.
This is much later, but why such a tiny pot that the roots come out? I just got a cutting of my very first plumeria. It's rooting.
I'm using a smaller pot so it's easier to dig and bring in during our cold winters... you can use as bug of a pot as you like... the roots will always find there way out of the pot and into the ground when you plant them like this... at the moment all of my seedlings are in 1 gallon pots but the bigger ones would be fine in a 2 or 3 gallon.... bigger if you prefer
Do they ever reach a point where you can no longer keep them in pots and need to be planted in the ground?
usually people will trim the roots or put them into larger pots when that happens.
Thank you for your wonderful video on how to store plumerias away .
Bill, Do I have to remove the leaves or can I leave them on.Mine are about 1/3 the size of yours.I just want to make sure I do it right.Thanks.
Judy White There is no wrong way. if you want to grow them in a sunny window over the winter, i would leave the leaves on. just remember that if you grow them indoors... You will need to let the soil dry between waterings, otherwise you will risk rotting your plant.
PlantzNThings Thanks Bill.I don't have them in front of a sunny window, but next to a light.I think I will move them to be safe.
Thank you really good information!
hi there, would you be so kind to share your lighting set up for your over wintering. I have a dedicated room in the cellar with two windows but this is subterra facing west in Europe, light in Winter is *faint* at best. So I found 3 old fluorescent tubes/lights in my garage which are still working - all 36w 120cm long and am thinking of lighting up this entire room. I'll hang these lights about 30 - 40cm down from the ceiling (ceiling is approx. 2,15m and small plants are on a table, larger on the floor). Would be sufficient for the plumerias? Any suggestions etc... Thanks in advance and thanks for the vids too.
+Babe-On Line I will have a video of my grow room on Saturday. if you let your plumeria go dormant you don't need light. but if you want them to remain growing that should be sufficient light... just make sure the plants stay warm if you want them to stay growing.
+PlantzNThings hi there, thanks ... how much light is enough light ? I have a huge terrace window say about 4meters wide but only afternoon sun (west facing) but it's autumn going on winter here in Germany and having sufficient light is like we humans here going on wishful thinking. Actually I'm more interested in converting one of my basement room into a nice winter plant (all) hold-all so that I don't have to fight for premium space at this 4m window. The room in the basement is approximately 2,2m high, 3m long and 2m wide so actually I was hoping you could chime in on the lighting equipment I might need. Thanks !
Best video!!!
Hi, I have a 4 years old Plumeria that is growing tall, blooms but it does not brunch. Now is about 4 feet tall. Please any ideas about make it brunch. Thank you !
In my experience... they only branch as they produce flowers...
Not cold in San Diego ... So what is cold for these baby's?
they don't like being below 50F for very long
hi!
Can you help me with my plumeria? mine is already big, 14 feet or more in height, but it started to have a disease which they called plumeria rust.
Before it started rusting, it had some sort of white powder on its leaves, then it started shedding its leaves, my dad said, it's normal, but as the whole year has passed, the leaves didn't grow back, unlike before when it's full of leaves. Then, it started to grow orange dots under its leaves. I tried several fungicides, but it didn't work. They also said to cut off the infected leaves, the problem is, my plumeria is already high.
I just want to ask if my plumeria will eventually die if I let it infected with rust, and what is the best fungicide to eliminate the rust. Thank you!
P.S
I'm from the Philippines, if you're gonna tell me any brand of fungicide, it's probably not available in my country, but the ingredients of the fungicide will suffice.
what would've happened if you put a cover on them during the winter??
Where do you find Plumeria in the GTA? I bought one at the CNE, which died over the winter and I'd like to get another one, but I'm not sure where to find them. Thanks, Luke
I bought some at the CNE also - they died after blooming (kept it as a potted plant), they didn't last until the end the summer. I would like to know where to purchase them too.
There is a plant show in March at the EX in the huge building the size of 10 football fields. They sold it there when I went two years ago. Also, a BC nursery sells them online, hawaiianbotanicals (search on google) they only ship to canada I think, and are the only reliable source for them I have seen (I don't grow plumeria so I don't know what the condition of their plants is)
Thank you!
Yes, thanks so much! Cool little community happening here....*****
lukehaz22 I am thinking about pruning one or 2 of my bigger plumerias in the spring. keep in touch, I might be able to send you a cutting... however they will be in very limited supply. might i also suggest growing some from seed. I personally had great success with that method.
Can you HELP! I've had my fangipani for 5-6 years in a pot. I've transplanted it and have taken a cutting from it once. It has never bloomed except for when I bought it. it's about as big as the one you trimmed. I use a 9-18-9 liquid fertaliser twice a week. my clipping didn't make it. I grow in Canada. Also my main trunk isn't very big. is my pot to big? its about 10"
Hmmm Interesting question. the pot is not too big.. they recommend planting cuttings in an 8 inch pot... so 10 inch isn't too big. the fertilizer is OK... but you might want to use something with a higher middle # like a 10-52-10 maybe once a week. does your plant grow in Full sun when growing outside? here in Canada they need as much sun as possible.
+PlantzNThings it's out side for as long as the season will let me. probably sees sun for up to 8 to 10 hours a day. the stalk grows about 68 inches a season. it's inside now.
In Southern CA what should you do--bring them in (we can get really cold here close to frost).?
+tlc8386 during the time that goes below 50F for extended periods... you should bring them inside.
My grandmother in Riverside, California has a 20 foot tall plumeria with white flowers that have a yellow center. No frost protection needed when they are big and old (for zone 9 and up).
Which grow lights do you use?
I have a holly hock should I cut it down?
It hasn't flowed yet and it's getting cold
why are you asking about holly hocks in a video about plumeria, and why am i asking a question to you 4 years later?
Its a bit funny, but its okay, Hey, at least they are asking a flower question an someone else helped to answer.
Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing glad I want some I'm in South Carolina how well they do here thanks for sharing linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️❤️💯 💯❤️☮️
I just recently acquired my first Plumeria cutting ('Hong Thong'). I'm about to pot it up, and I'm going to go by one of your other vids to do so. There are some larger wood containers that Home Depot sells that I have in mind for the plant when it gets much more mature. They're just a little smaller than half whiskey barrels in terms of volume but are much, much lighter. Would it be OK to bring a container such as this indoors for dormancy over the Winter, reduce watering to next to nothing, and then just let nature run its course with the leaves? I wouldn't mind cleaning up any mess the plant made in the process. Your Plumeria looked very healthy prior to its 'dormancy treatment', and I'm not questioning your ability; but the container you use seems very small for the size of the plant. Or are Plumerias similar to orchids in that they prefer being a bit pot bound? Thanks for the vid... I've subscribed to your channel.
+frzzlfry66 Sure you can bring in your whole container for the winter... that's what I do... as for the green pots that are dug into the ground for this video.... the pot is small for these plant... but the plant isn't only growing in the pot... the roots come out of the bottom of the pot and grow into the soil. I use the pot to capture some roots so when I dig the plant for the fall it minimizes the root stress. these plants in my experience have a delicate root system. with all that said... these plants have been potted into much larger pots and are now used as container plants on my patio.
+PlantzNThings Hello again... thanks for the response. And it's OK to not cut the leaves to encourage/force dormancy? Is that just an optional step to reduce the mess inside later, or is it something you strongly recommend? I would be of a mind to just withhold watering to continue the plant's transition into dormancy, and only give it a little drink if I observed some shriveling going on. But this was a difficult plant to come by (I had to get it from a Thailand seller), and naturally I would hate to do something wrong and kill it... lol.
Are these grown from seed? How old are they?
Katie Canada these plumeria were bought as 12" cuttings 4 years ago. I do have seedlings as well that are almost 2 years old.
I have both, seedlings and cuttings. Mine aren't as old as yours. I was wondering when they would start flowering, and I wanted to use your plants as a kind of guideline. Thanks!!
what kind of lights do you use?
Where are you located?
Ontario Canada
How would you go about bring in a Colocasia esculenta as a bulb? I do not have the room for a plant of his size in my house.
pugsly86 Esculenta will come in as a bulb yes. chop it down, dig it up let it dry and store it. I will have a video on those soon.
PlantzNThings
Thank you. Can't wait for the video.
I ordered about ten from Thailand and also some from seeds. They all died lol. I think I over watered them. No luck😥
I'm sorry to hear that :( Over watering is a big killer for Plumeria.
Hi Dieu, I have a plumeria plant. I water only once a week. The plumeria plants do very well as long as we use light soil and don't overwater. Hope you try to plant them again.
Hi , I live in uk how look after in uk winter time put inside garage?
Sara, I would keep it cool and dry during the dormant season. If it gets colder than about 12c it's probably not going to like it. I don't know a lot about them, but I just try to imagine what it would do in a country where it grows outside all year, with a cool winter but not cold.
