| Hi Evie, First of all welcome!!! Does your Plumeria have any leaves? Any signs of roots? What does the claw activity look like? You say that the stem is starting to shrivel? When you water did you water around the rim of the comtainer only? We sometimes worry to much on our plants, but when we are trying to root them...that is a different road!!! I would use a heat mat on my cutting. DO you have it in a suny location? Keep an eye on it and try not to mess with it (picking it up and looking at it) They really like to be left alone while rooting. TTheir roots are so small and fragile, they can break off just by us picking uo the container if they are loose in the soil to look at how they are doing. We always say around here on the Plumeria forum...if you think they need water...wait a week!!! LOL But true... Keep the bottom warm. Im sure your treee is just fine. Wanted to give you my 2 cents worth... Can you post a picture? That will really help us see what is happening with your tree. Take care, Laura |
