Don’s Tips: Striking Frangipani

Striking Frangipani

You could argue that the frangipani is the world’s best perfumed flowering tree.

You can get flowers that are white, yellow, red, orange or multi coloured.

They are dead easy to strike from cuttings. Just cut off a branch end about 30-50cm long (that’s around one foot or more long).

Remove the leaves and place the cutting around the shady side of the house like some firewood to dry out for about a week. Then pot up the cutting into a 20cm pot just in a 50/50 mix of potting mix & sand.

When the plant shoots in a few weeks, it’s already growing roots. Place the plant in full sun to grow but don’t plant it in the garden ‘til October.

Good luck with your cuttings!

Hooroo!
