Post by aykhan »

Anyone growing Plumerias? Where can you find these in Lahore? How easy is it for them to survive in Lahore weather?

Yes indeed. I read up on Plumerias and it does seem they are very easy to grow from cuttings. I'll be hunting Lahore nurseries for a couple. Online nurseries in the US have some Plumeria cuttings you could kill for :D

I think it varies with how big the cutting is, how many tips it has and what kind it is. The newer breeds are more expensive. Actually the highest price I saw was from a nursery in Hawaii asking $39 for cuttings of their newer breeds. Mostly anywhere from 7-15 dollars. The best deal is likely through auction on ebay.
