Transplant Plumeria again?
Question:I have four rooted cuttings of Plumeria. They were all in a pot with Miracle grow soil on the bottom, and Vermiculite for the rest. All four were in one pot until they rooted. Well, they did and they were doing great, and then I put them in seperate pots, and the medium I used was a mixture of sand, perlite, vermiculite, and Miracle Grow soil. They aren't doing so well anymore and it has been two weeks. They aren't dying, they just quit growing. Should I put them back into the same kind of medium they were in to begin with? Or should I just leave them alone, as I am afraid to keep re-planting them.
Answers:
grow it in "soil-based potting mix with added sharp sand, in full light" sounds like you don't have the sharp dranaige you once had. add more rough sand to it, like lava sand. i hate perlite, have not had good results with it. stick with the natural stuff. make sure you don't have spider mite, as that's a common problem indoors. water moderately, fertilize monthly. no worries with repotting, as long as you're gentle and don't let the roots dry out in the process.
Let them be. They're probably just in shock from the transplant, and will resume growing when they're ready. So long as they're not dying, I wouldn't worry.
They should be ok.Don't water too much. Put a clear plastic bag over cutting in pot.This will keep it out of draughts, and create it's own condensation.You may be over watering.The cuttings will go through some trauma , and will sulk.They should start off again ok.
