Plumeria- California, Arizona or Florida.
Weird request, but do any of you living in these areas have a plumeria on your property? I just started growing them this year and I’d love to purchase a cutting from you. Amazing plants. There's literally 1000's of different varieties, sizes, color and smells. The smells can range from candy, perfume or even sun tan lotion! You won't get blooms every year until they're older and established, but the wait is well worth it. Cuttings are simply taken from a plant, dried out for 7-14 days and then placed in well draining soil. It's fairly easy to establish a new plant from a cutting.

My first and only flowering plumeria from May of this year. There's a light, fruity fragrance to this.

I don’t have a white one yet but they are stunning. They really are just crazy “sticks.”

Lew, I’m plumerialess but I’m sure my landscaper tends to them on his other jobs. Will ask him to cut some for you.

That would be awesome! I know in places like Florida that cuttings are many times normal landscape garbage since they’re so plentiful there.

And do yourself a favor and get one yourself!

They probably don’t much in Florida but they definitely do elsewhere! I can buy small cuttings Online from Florida or other states from $20 on up to very expensive.

how do you ship them and they survive, as you can see, we have plenty to share.

Go to a flower shop or a grocery store florist area and ask for a water tube for each. Fill the tubes with warm water over night. Then refill with regular water with a dash of sugar (soda will do). Seal it up as tight as you can with tape or something then wrap it thickly in paper towel. Throw a baggie over the tubes if you wish or your can't seal up the tube that good. Package in a box with plenty of cushion but allowing for movement. Label the box as plant or something, and mail that bitch out. I think I want one too.

Lewdog, if the water is dry upon receipt but the cuttings are alive, cut an inch off the stem then do your thing with it.

Holy shit those are stunning! Basically you cut a certain length from the top of the plant, usually 12-18”. Package with lots of material to avoid the plant getting damaged or cut. They need a few weeks to callous anyway so shipping shortly after you cut them requires nothing else.

Wife is visiting her Mom in Missouri. She says no big deal to cut some off for ya. When she gets back she can get you guys some cutlings. We can follow the Edave guidance. We have a 3rd huge one too I’ll get pics of for you guys.

No water needed man! I promise. I’ve had some shipped to me before. It’s just the cutting packed in so the flesh can’t be damaged. Nothing else!

Those are beautiful. Not sure the names since there’s so many!

Yea go with this. Lewdog knows more than me on this one and I wouldn't want them ruined by over watering (number one plant killer). I was thinking how I used to ship roses.

You’re right on the roses. Plumerias can rot easy. They’d much prefer less water to more water, which is crazy considering their tropical and flowering nature.

Queen Palms are tropical and they are every where. I don't like them because you need a tree Dr. from time to time for them to last a long time.

Yup! Most people don’t realize they need special care to live a long time here. You need to try a plumeria!
