My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Planting a Completely~Bare Rooted

17 years ago

I have had many grafted rooted plumerias and know how to pot them up,but had purchased a few rooted not grafted plumerias and arrived without soil or spaghnum moss,just dry roots?And just wondering if i should have clipped the roots before planting?They were probably in the mail for at most 2 weeks and not sure if they were before that in dormancy stored that way?Any ways i just soaked the in super thrive for a few hours then planted,and they seem to take a while to form leaves,longer than a newly grafted rooted one?Im wondering if they are having to grow NEW roots,,and if i did something else they would be better off? Oh,and i only watered once until they formed leaves,just in case the roots werent alive?should i have been nicer

Any advice would be appreciated.
