So, as the general rule goes about 12-18 inches long a plumeria cutting should be for best success. I'd like to try rooting nodes or possibly multi node sections (2-3 inches) each piece because a lot of people love them as trades! Is this doable, or is it gonna be harder with just less success? A few segments with clonex set onto gently damp moss then allowed to dry on a heat mat. (I plan on waiting till a more appropriate time like spring)
Thank you 😊

I think the reason for the recommended length for plumeria cuttings is to make sure you are propagating a "mature" cutting that is "grayish" in color and not the new growth "green" color.

A short cutting may be too young or too tender that it will not develop any roots and will just shrivel and rot.

@GigiPlumeria
Ahh that makes sense! I kinda thought it may have something to do with them being so susceptible to rot and covering so much would rot it. I think I'm gonna eventually try a sorta prop box of roughly 2 inch sections. Clonex, seal with DAP, laid onto moist moss with a heat mat I'll then allow to entirely dry.

It is always good to experiment and see the results. And we do have a Plumeria forum too:

The thread "Chats About Plumeria" in Plumeria forum

The plumeria bug bit me in 2009 when a friend of mine gifted me a cutting that bloomed on the same year. To increase my collection I started growing them from seeds. It took some years to bloom but they were worth the wait and I quickly ran out of space. some members in the plumeria were successful in making their seedgrown plumeria bloom in less than 2 years.

Those are nice!! I need to try seeds next, I'm so curious to see what variations I'd get. I couldn't seem to find out why nobody rooted small segments of the stem following the same instructions, or one laid down in moss like a wet stick.
Talk about experimenting, I currently have a segment I took off the last cutting in my aerogarden basket 😂 its future is bleak I'm well aware, just wanted to see I guess. I sealed with DAP, used the calloused end into the basket. People say although it isn't preferred, some can root in just water so maybe it'll root in oxygenated and warm water 😂 I have it very precisely placed with the water pumps on the baskets cycling on for a minute, then off a while and low water level so it can dry a bit

Wow that is a brilliant method! That would be interesting to see how well it grows! For it to bloom I would guess it will need to be a certain length and height so it may take the same amount of time as seedgrown before you can see the blooms. The difference in seedgrown you get your own unique cultivar. My profile feature is seedgrown.

Those in your profile are impressive! Where do you source your seeds or do you wait until you get some of yours?
