Flowers

Here’s a picture of one of the plumerias on the lot here

Description from Wikipedia

Description[edit]

PlumeriaΒ flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lureΒ sphinx mothsΒ to pollinate them. The flowers yield no nectar, however, and simply trick their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar.[citation needed]. Insects or human pollination can help create new varieties of plumeria. Plumeria trees from cross pollinated seeds may show characteristics of the mother tree or their flowers might just have a totally new look.[citation needed]

PlumeriaΒ species may beΒ propagatedΒ easily by cutting leafless stem tips in spring. Cuttings are allowed to dry at the base before planting in well-drained soil. Cuttings are particularly susceptible to rot in moist soil. One optional method to root cuttings is applying rooting hormone to the clean fresh-cut end to enable callusing. Plumeria cuttings could also be propagated by grafting a cutting to an already rooted system.[citation needed]Β There are more than 300 named varieties ofΒ Plumeria.[citation needed]

    So glad I found your post. I have recently grown a few plumeria trees from seed. I am researching as much information from others that have grown them as well. https://noelliesplace.com/2019/02/25/rookie-green-thumb/

        Good job. I’m working on more pictures of our verdant growth. One thing I can confidently pass on about plumerias: like all succulents don’t drown it. Look up care and feeding for a cactus an you will get the idea
