Newbie to site here - this forum is amazing for great info! But I am unsure of what to do. Two weeks ago, I was gifted several very large 4' cuttings from a variety of plumerias that were still actively growing and blooming south of Tampa. I'm in Daytona Beach and cut them down to a more manageable size for rooting. My question is about when to start the rooting process. Everything I've read on this very helpful site references letting plumies stay in a dormant state during winter and then cut/root them in Spring. Since these weren't in dormancy when they were cut, should I start the rooting process now or wait? Tampa is Zone 10a and Daytona is 9b so weather is similar while not the same. Any guidance is appreciated.

When you have "Green" Plumeria cuttings.. they Need to callous over for a couple of weeks _BEFORE you attempt to root.

Just keep them dry in a dark cool closet or similar.

If you wish, you can hold off until Spring to actually plant in a well-drained / gritty mix potting soil like Miracle Grow Cactus mix.

Glenn, thanks for the reply. I definitely planned to wait until they calloused over. Since our winter is mild here in Central FLORIDA, I didn't know if I HAD to root now because they were blooming and still putting off new leaves. I'll prepare a place for them to stay until end of February when daytime temps are consistently in the 70s. Thanks again!

Just allow to callus, and I would cut off the buds, so that it redirects its energies more for root formation. Stick it in to a dry, porous media, water and wait it out patiently. Position in part sun area for now At least your weather is warmer than ours, so you can get a better headstart than we do here.
