| Hi,
I am new to plumeria, and I am starting seeds under lights that are just starting to root. I also bought 2 plumeria cuttings, that I put in a heavy purlite mix with pea gravel on top and am trying to start them, only the weather here has been 50 to 65 degrees every day, so I moved them inside under lights, where my house temp is 70degrees. I also bought a rooted cutting, and when it arrived, it was in a little holder and the rooted cutting had 4 leaves on it. I took and planted it in a pot with a mostley perlite mix and watered it a little. Now 3 days later the leaves are dead, and the stalk is wrinkled and rubbery. What do I do!! I think its dying. I brought it in the house and took it out of the dirt, and put it in a jar with water and thrive,and cut the dead leaves off and put it under grow lights. Will this help??? I plan to have a plumeria and orchid room in the basement this winter, using grow light, humidifier, and a fan. Any help on my poor rubbery, rooted cutting, I would appreciate, Thanks |

| You may have watered the rooted cutting too much. May be rotting. Also, temps outside, 50-65 aren't prime plumie growing weather. The cutting most likely went it to shock with temps like this. I know this is a late reply to your post, but I hope this helps with future attempts. Tropcialfreakfla |
