Mid stem cuttings

20 years ago

I got some new plumeria cuttings and the person who sold them to me gave me an extra box of mid stem cuttings. They said to root them the same way I do my tip cuttings. Has anyone successfully rooted mid stem cuts? Is there any difference in the growth and do you think they will root? The mid cuts are all 10" to 16" and look healthy.

The information is correct. Treat them the same as the other cuttings. They tend to take a little longer to root. New branches will develop near the tip of the cutting.

Just curious. How do you know the top from the bottom?

When you look at the stem you will see smiley's from the old leaves. If you see frowns you've planted it up side down.
