Frangipani are easy to reproduce – both from seed and cuttings. While the increase is almost all year, you have to treat the cuttings at different times of the year.
The material of seed
During seed multiplication, the result can be a little unpredictable. You receive an attachment, with some similarities with its parent company, but it is unlikely that exact reproductions. It generally lasts three years or so before the plant flowers, considering that the multiplication of plants by cuttings, you should contact your new frangipani flowers in the first year.
Seeds are sown, while the sharing of seed pod in the spring. The minimum temperature must be at least 18 ° C. Please place your seeds in the pot to be the ground remains moist until your plant is, up to two weeks. But do not despair if it does not pop up if you wait – it should not only be hot enough. I have a facility to take 12 weeks after I planted to keep it!
The material cuttings
Cuttings multiplication conjecture of information – Your new frangipani is an exact copy of the factory. Cuttings may at any time of year, but they are easier to manage in winter when the tree is bald.
There are two methods for the frangipani cuttings – hardwood (winter) or semi-attack of wood (in spring or summer when the plant in flower). Cuttings must be a minimum of 30cm (12 “) in length and preferably not more than 60 cm (24″).
Take hardwood cuttings when the plant is in dormancy in winter. If the white latex is still fluid, dry in a dark place charges for a few days before planting in the free flow of compost or sand.
Take half of mature stem cells extracted from tips of leaves in the spring form. Let the wound dry before inserting it in the free flow of drainage compost or sand.
If the material during the summer, select a section, not flowers. Remove any leaves that are not in the head. Make sure you have a clean break, the reduction of injuries on the plant and accelerate healing. Leave the cup for at least five weeks, preferably in an upright position in a dry place. Again, we need the wound to dry before planting.
The cut must be clean and fair. If someone has a cut end with a float, with Recut shears for a clean wound. And do not worry if the cut is smaller or larger than the recommended size cut above. I have a lot of people give me small cuts (about 6), and further extracts (about 3 ½ has been at least 6 meters branches of information technology). Only one eye on the wound and, when dry. With giant cup, I, I planted against the wall, with the Sunday, and it handles the challenges for the first year. It is now quite a large tree.
With all extracts, although in water, and every two weeks, when the soil is dry, otherwise let rest until new leaves. You may need your frangipani with a set of strings or a few weeks, the roots to anchor it in position. If new leaves appear, you can install directly in the garden or in a large pot of quality, free flowing, flowers, potting soil.
