Todays interesting topic is on Plumeria Tree also called Champa tree which produces beautiful flowers with a nice fragrance. We will also talk on differentiating this plant from its relative Adenium plant. Then about propagation of plumeria with planting one large cutting for rooting in a large pot.<\/p>\n
Plumeria<\/em><\/strong> is a genus<\/a> of flowering plants<\/a> in the family, Apocynaceae<\/a>. Most species of this plant are deciduous shrubs or small trees. These are mainly grown as ornamental plants in warm regions and produces nice flowers called champa flowers with a very pleasant fragrance like a scent.<\/p>\n It is called by various names like Champa tree in India , chempakam, Kath Golap,\u00a0 aaraliya or temple tree, Japanese frangipani and so on..\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n Plumeria<\/em> species can \u00a0be propagated<\/a> easily by cutting leafless stem tips in spring. Cuttings are allowed to dry at the base before planting in well-drained soil. Cuttings are particularly susceptible to rot in moist soil.<\/p>\n There are more than 300 named varieties of Plumeria<\/em> like plumeria rubra (red flowers), plumeria alba (white flowers) . This plant is very much similar to Adenium (desert rose) \u2013 which also has many varieties like alba and rubra and also both belong to the same genus of Apocynaceae.<\/p>\n The main differences are in appearances like:<\/p>\n Adeniums are large trunked with the bottom resembling a bulb, but as a whole they are small plants with smaller leaves. Adenium Root can also be enlarged like tubers. Plumeria<\/em> species have a milky latex<\/a> that, like many other Apocynaceae<\/a> \u00a0which contains poisonous compounds that irritate the eyes and skin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, coming back to plumeria propagation. We will start the rooting process of a cutting I brought from this beautiful white larger plumeria or champa tree with white flowers \u2013 that\u2019s plumeria alba \u2013 alba means white.<\/p>\n You are seeing this mud wrapped around\u00a0 the base of the cutting, the person who gave me this cutting thought it would dry up and may not produce result if its left for drying, but in case of plumeria we have to dry this rooting area for about two days before planting in soil. So I am cleaning off this and allowing it to dry.<\/p>\n These Cuttings are allowed to dry, not in direct sunlight but just under room temperature. We do this because they are more prone to rot with fungus if kept too moist and directly insert in soil.<\/p>\n The success rate of these plumeria cuttings is great and that\u2019s really encouraging for beginners in gardening. So, the basic procedure for this and also adenium is as follows:<\/p>\n
\nPlumeria small trunked without any form of elongated tubers, and these plants that can grow big and tall, with long leaves and large shapes.<\/p>\n\n
