malt25 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hi all. Some advice please. I've established a lawn & garden at our home. All is looking quite good. I've 2 pretty well established frangipani trees. I think that's how it's spelt. I'd like to propagate. From some limited knowledge of years ago I "think" the things to do are... 1. Wait til all leaves fall. 2. Cut selected section & let dry out for several weeks. 3. Seal cut section of tree to prevent rot due to moisture. 4. Plant cut sections in well drained soil about 6 to 8 weeks after cutting from tree. Both trees were pretty well established when planted about 9 months ago. Both are growing strongly. Plenty of flowers. Neither of the trees has so far shed any leaves. Is this common in Thailand ? Back in OZ, frangipanies were always bare for several months each year. Any info, advice very much appreciated. Thanks..... Mal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 We had frangipani in Africa. If we wanted to start a new tree, as stated above, we'd just whack off a bit, stick it in the soil and keep it watered or let the rains do it, depending on the time of the year.

malt25 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Thanks all. Sounds too easy. I'll give it a try. Cheers..... Mal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Yes they are pretty easy.... If they have leaves, I take off most of them and stick in pot or ground.... Takes about a month generally to produce roots... If done in dry season, moisten foliage a few times a day for first while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 We let them lay on the ground till the leaves fall off,then pot them or put in ground, if you put them in straight away they can rot.but that's just the way we do it. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
