Frangipanis have a delicious fragrance with overtones of peaches, jasmine, honeysuckle and apricot. If you would like to strike some cuttings to add frangipani to your garden, it is relatively easy to do. Here is how.[1]

Steps

  1. 1
    Take cuttings in late spring and through summer. The cuttings should be about 30 centimeter (11.8 in) / 12" in length. Always take cuttings from branches that are not flowering.[2]
  2. 2
    Place the cuttings out in the sunshine for a week. This will allow the cut end to dry out and form a callous. Make sure that the cuttings stay dry; keep them away from any possibility of rain.[3]

  3. 3
    Fill a pot with sandy soil or sand that has been moistened and well-drained. Root the cuttings in the pot of sand.[4]
  4. 4
    Fertilise with a high-potassium fertiliser. Keep in a warm place to grow.[5]
  5. 5
    Keep well watered and well drained. After a time, you should see some of the cuttings starting to strike.[6]

    I usually do. I like to cut the tips off each branch so it can double and turn into multiple branches.

    That is a good mixture to grow frangipani. After you take a cutting at least several inches long, put it in a cool, dry place for three to five days, and let the end dry out before replanting. This is called "hardening off," and must be done with any succulent-type plant.

Warnings

  • Be careful of the milky sap; it is poisonous and can harm your eyes if it gets into them. Some people are also highly sensitive to the sap on their skin. Wear gloves and do not rub your eyes - wash your hands well after cutting and planting.
