Love Plumerias
Hello everyone I am new to this forum and would like some information on my plumerias. I live in Hawaii and as you probably know it's warm here year round. I have two questions for now.
1-ph of soil. Is the soil ph affected by the city water which is very very alkaline, measures 8+. This makes it very hard to keep my soil ph low enough for plumerias. I have been adding additives to raise or lower the ph for each pot. Even adding 1 cup vinegar to 1 gal of water to use for watering my plumerias.

2-Starting new root cuttings here in November. I plant year round and wonder if I should wait to spring like it is suggested.

I use soil acidifier and hydrogenated lime for adjusting PH.
