Irma Bryant - cuttings

9 years ago

Hi forum,
I have a 'blood red' AKA Irma Bryant frangipanni in by my driveway. One of the branches was starting to get in the way, so I decided to cut it back.
It's spring here and the tips are just starting to break dormancy. I have them sitting upright in the shade at he moment, but i have heard that they are much harder to strike than the more common varieties.
Would i be best to try and get them going in a gritty mix or try and root them in water?

Thanks in advance,
Adam

I would first place the branch in a humidity chamber or some other method to let it cure in a warm high humidity environment four about 2 weeks then between the two methods described use the soil method as that is the one I am most familiar with.

Some time back James (freak4plumeria) described his water rooting method and success rate. It might be worth your read then you can make your best educated guess. Good luck.
