moisten end, dip In root tone and stick in a moistened pot of soil. do not water again until you see leaves appearing. It will be so hard to resist watering but really, do not water til you see little leaves appearing. Keep in bright shade and after foliage starts appearing slowly move to full sun and water when you stick finger in pot and soil feels dry. you will have to bring indoors when it starts getting cold. enjoy

Thank you so much! !!!

I planted my first (red) plumeria cutting yesterday and have it in my screened lanai (I live in north Florida). The lanai gets filtered western sun, which can be very hot in the pm. Will that be okay for rooting? Also, I've heard that red plumeria can take several months to root. Do I not water it at all until I see new growth at the top - even if soil is totally dry?

I used bag rooting method. No guess work.

Thank you for your quick reply @ Kawagoe. I sure wish I had known of your method before I potted it. I'll certainly try your method w/my next cutting. Since it's already in soil/perlite mixture with black pebbles on top of soil, I hate to disturb it now. My questions remain: 1) should cutting be placed outdoors now in direct full sun, or is filtered western exposure OK, and 2) if it takes over 2+ months to root/produce new growth, do I refrain from watering that entire time? TYVM.
