Frangipani can be stimulated by a pruning to branching
Artificially branch a frangipani
A frangipani or plumeria only looks really decorative when it has branched well and formed a crown. The branching takes place naturally. If that takes you too long, you can artificially branch a plumeria.
Branch frangipani in a natural way
Until the first flowering, the frangipani does not branch naturally. Only when a flower has formed, one to five new shoots emerge at the same time. The flowering shoot itself does not grow any further.
Many gardening experts recommend leaving the frangipani time for a natural ramification. The result is more aesthetic and the plant is not stressed.
To artificially branch a plumeria
If it takes too long for the frangipani to branch off by itself, cut off the main drive. Use a sharp and clean knife so that you do not transmit diseases from other plants. The cut must be made as straight as possible.
If the Plumeria has already developed new shoots, shorten the shoot tips in spring, if you want to branch the house plant even further.
The length of the sections does not matter if you do not plan to multiply the frangipani. If you want to breed more offshoots, you need to cut off long shoots.
Use sections to propagate the frangipani
Cut the offspring in spring if possible. They need a lot of light and heat. Only if you can offer a good location with sufficient brightness even in winter, you may even later resort to the knife.
The interface of the cuttings must dry before putting them in the water glass or directly in the potting soil. Otherwise, the milk juice runs out and the shoot comes in.
So that the cuttings root, he must already be lignified down. Therefore, cut it in the lower gray and not in the upper green area.
Tips
Frangipani is a dog poison and contains a poisonous milk juice. Therefore wear gloves when cutting the shoot tips. If the milk juice comes on the bare skin, this can lead to inflammatory skin reactions.
