Hey Mom, Read This!

Last night night my Mom came over and was asking about her Hawaii plant. My parents have a plumeria that keeps dying back before it can bloom. I've read that it blooms on old growth. So, about two months ago I took a cutting so we can plant one in a pot and keep it over the winter. Mom: Here it is!

Here is the exciting part: it appears to have a root. I followed the directions I found on http://www.azplumeria.org/growingroots.htm . It says to plant in a clear cup with no drainage holes. Water at planting time, then pretty much leave it alone. The clear cup allows you to check the root development without disturbing the plant. It is looking good so far!
