It is an extremely easy plant to grow if you know how to. Get a clean cutting from a mature plant at least 8-10 inches in length. Cut off all existing leaves and leave it in a cool dry place for 1-2 weeks till callus formation has occured. Plant it in soil with good drainage and water as per normal. Place it in a spot with good sunlight. Your patience will be paid off when new leaves appear after another 1-2 weeks.
Water it only after the soil dries out - think of your plumeria almost like a cactus. Use a small amount of balanced fertilizer every time you water. After you get quite a few leaves, switch to a high-phosphorous fertilizer. This will encourage your plumeria to bloom - and also to branch more.
Viola - your very own lifestyle plant at a fraction of the cost in the nurseries!
