I've collected several cuttings from some Celadine plumerias from the grounds around the hotel where we're staying in Kahana. (I always get surprised looks from the desk clerks when I ask if I can harvest cuttings.) This is the first time I thought I'd try big cuttings (based on the sticky thread) but my question regards anti-transpirants, like Wilt-Pruf. Has anyone used products like these to prevent shriveling while rooting large cuttings in a dry atmosphere? The picture shows one of the cuttings with spikes of the flowers from the same tree. The perfume of Celadine is far and away my favorite!

I agree on Celadine being a top plumeria for scent. I occasionally order flowers from Hawaii if I am making lei in the off-season, and the smell that emanates when I open the box...... aaaaaahhhhhh
I have no experience with Wilt-Proof but I suggest you occasionally mist your cuttings while they are rooting and they should be ok.
