Hola Claire, 
        I got my plumeria like yours, just a long branch. How are you
attempting to root it? I got mine from the Plumeria People (if you don't
know about this place you're missing out on a lot!!). Anyhow this is how
they told me to root my cutting and it worked wonderfully!

Leave the callus, fill a pot 6-8" with perlite and place the cutting 3-4"
below the surface and water thoroughly. Put in a warm place out of direct
sun and protect from rainfall. Water when perlite is dry to the touch about
2" down (1-2 times a week). Do not over water. Leaves should begin to grow,
increase watering. When the cutting shows vigorous growth transplant into an
8-10" pot with good drainage. Stake temporarily and place in sade for two
weeks. Then gradually move into full sun a fertilize. *resist* the
temptation to lift the cutting out of the pot. 

I couldn't help my self and I did but there were no adverse affects. Good 
luck.

Hi.....

Thanx for the help.  I have mine in potting soil now and since it has only 
been there about 2 weeks, I will change it carefully to a new pot with the 
perlite.

I live in Upstate New York and will have to grow mine indoors till Spring.  
Please let me know if this will change any of your advice.

Thanx and take care,   Claire
