        Rooting Hormones
        Rooting Hormones Cuttings are the best way a home grower can continue to grow a specific plumeria cultivar long-term. Similarly, if you plan on growing large numbers of plants, plumeria cuttings are the smart option. Rooting hormones play a key role in rooting. Find out why here. Taking cuttings is

        Plumeria Seedlings
        Plumeria Seedlings When a seed sprouts, the first set of leaves that unfold are called cotyledons. All the food that’s needed to sustain these first leaves is contained right inside the seed. Once the second set of “true” leaves appear, you should begin foliage or drench feeding your seedlings with

        Did You Know

        Did you know Plumeria acquire different levels of Dormancy?
        Dormancy levels vary between plumeria. In general, the
        number of plumeria that may acquire dormancy shows a trend
        to increase with geographical distance from the equator and correlates with the occurrence of seasons.
        Variation can also be found within plant species. This has been
        studied intensively in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana
        (Arabidopsis), which is widespread in Europe and parts of Asia.
        and shows high variation in dormancy levels

        Did you know spider mites go dormant during cold weather?
        spider-mites have learned to go dormant when the length of hours of daylight start getting lower, seemingly aware that cold temperatures will soon follow. Other factors enter into it, such as temperature, but photo-period appears to be the main cause. The specific amount of hours of daylight required to bring on dormancy varies according to latitude (farther north, where it gets cold early, they go dormant sooner), but it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 13 hours a day of light everywhere. They don't all go into diapause at that same exact time, either, as individual spider-mites have quite a variance in their response to these stimulations.
