OK... 2 years ago my sister in law gave me a cutting of her Plumeria...before that I had never even heard of them. I thought it was a really neat plant...so I ordered a few more from a man in Hawiia.
My question is....How do you take cuttings? My sister in law said to just snip a branch and let it sit , it will heal itself, and plant it later in a pot.
I am afraid to just snip it...is there any rules to cutting?
PLEASE forgive my ignorance. But as they say...**When in doubt, as the best** and the Best seem to be here at Daves!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also Mine are getting quite big, is it ok to keep cuttng them back? I would like to keep them at a managable size since they have to come in for the winter here.
Thanks again!!
