I know there's already threads on this. I asked on one but haven't got a response so I thought I'd start a new one.

I'm new to Plumeria, I really wanted to give them a try and experiment. I have lots of things I'm wondering about, not just with Plumeria but other plants as well.

But concerning grafting Plumeria, the only things I've seen are either grafting onto an existing branch or chopping the trunk and grafting onto that. My question is, can you graft onto the trunk to make braches?
Also would your be able to graft plumeria and dwarf plumeria?

Thanks for any help!

I was wondering all the same. I have been grafting them in my yard. I just cut off a few of the branches and exchanged them for different varieties that I had in my yard. It has been 6 weeks and I am not sure if they worked or if I should take the tape off or just leave them and see if the leaves start to come

How long do you have to wait to see if the grafts took and is there a way to look at them an visually see if the grafts took. I had a few that I decided to check on. they seemed like they were attached and I accidentally broke the bond. after six weeks there was only a tiny spot in the middle that had taken. Is that enough to just leave and will they grow together?

The best way to see if a graft has taken is when there is new growth on the scion. If you see new growth on the host, below the graft, that usually means the graft didn't take.

Now be patient...... Thumbs up
