Does anyone know how to grow Frangipani from cuttings?

Frangipanis are relatively easy to grow from cuttings, something I have done successfully for a number of years.





First off, ensure the tree you will take the cutting from is n good health, and has enough branches so that cutting one will not spoil the tree's shape or growth potential.





The branch you cut should not be flowering, and should be a decent length ~ no less than about 20 cms (7-8 inches).





Once the branch is cut, leave it in a cool, dry place for about a week. Do NOT stand it in water or soil during this time.





If you are transplanting to a pot, you need a good soil mix, not too heavy, and free draining. Frangipanis don't like 'wet feet', so don't use a saucer under the pot. For best results, raise the pot off the groundwith a couple of pavers or bricks, so there is plenty of air circulation underneath the base.





If planting into the ground, clear an area about 30 cms (12 inches) around of grass and dig your hole in a location that gets full sun most of the day. Frangipanis like to get heat from the earth, so make sure the area around the frangipani is well mulched (but nothing should touch the plant itself.





After the branch dries out for a week or so, put it in the prepared pot or in the earth, and water in well. If transplanting to a pot, remember to put it in a sunny spot.





The plant will need regular watering for several weeks until it begins to 'take'. You will be able to tell this as the branch will begin the plump out, and leaves may begin to appear at the tip of the branch.





Once the plant is established, you can reduce the watering back to once a week or so.





Frangipanis do tak a little time to establish, but by next season you should have a beautiful new frangipani tree, and some lovely, fragrant blossoms.





Good luck! :-)

Frangipani easily grows from cuttings...take 30 to 40 cm cuts from a fork of the tree...do not touch the sap that will weep from the cutting...leave for a couple of days...plant in a sunny position about 15cm deep...give it some food %26amp; a little water then forget it! ( note ) Frangipani is a tree and can grow quite large.
Reply:They grow quite easily from cuttings but are unique in that the cutting should be left to dry before before planted.
Reply:Yes you can put it into the ground and it'll grow....or put into a pot-planter and it'll grow too......You mother-in-law is right where some other plants you put them into some water..with abit of grow-fast.
Reply:my mother in law says to just shove a cutting in the ground and will eventually root and grow. i have always been taught to put a cutting in a bucket of water for a week or so - keep topping up the water every couple of days - and when you can see little roots starting to grow from the cut then put it in the ground. this one has worked for me in the past however i havnt tried frangipanis though.

I hope that this helps you and goodluck
Reply:Yes...let them dry out.. say 2 weeks %26amp; then stuff them in the ground in a very sunny area like against a north/south 'depending on your hemisphere' facing wall
Reply:Grows well, either straight on the gtound or in pots. Just keep the soil well wet, for the first few weeks.
Reply:The best way is to put them in water then in the ground...for best results the end of a branch and pot...good luck
