We just came in March, the month in which everything seems back to life: the flowers in the fields, the birds in the garden, gems among the branches and many animals that slowly emerge from the torpor of hibernation "winter" ... so to speak ... seen temperatures this year!
also a very valuable and widespread species begins to act on terraces, balconies disordered, gardens infrascati ... Air confused but full of good intentions ... is the "Garden DIY ..."
Seriously, This is precisely the time when everyone who has an ounce of "green heart", they begin to do more to clear up the pots in a state of abundance between terraces, furniture and battens summer packed with everything you have found shelter in these winter months.
Proceed to prune, mow the grass seed in a thousand jars all those essences that we shared in various forums, websites or bought on the doorstep in the marketplace.
You start to wander around nurseries looking for the pink I was missing that pink that made me die of envy at the home of this or another friend or perhaps a passion flower climbing up to do for my gazebo under which, in the summer love stay in meditation ... to look at the latest manual of the perfect gardener and just bought another ... much more satisfied and proud ... to focus on the work of these months!
also lost for lovers of the beautiful plumeria like me, March is the month in which to prepare the cuttings to be planted in April, buy new ones, bring out those made from water or from the winter wind.
I suggest to those who already possesses a mature and want to make new ones to take cuttings of at least 20cm. now.
Use very sharp scissors, remove any remaining top leaves, cut to leave a stalk of 2cm. attacked and will fall only slightly dry, treat with a fungicide generic, preferably in powder form (the one containing sulfur used in viticulture is fine) to dry and store them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. After no less than 20 days. If conditions permit, proceed to plant them, otherwise they can remain in this stage even 2 months. (To ground, the soil temperature should be around 25 ° C).
The Mix for the planting of Plumeria is critical to success and do not incur rot that may inevitably undermine the cuttings so maybe you are looking for or paid a high price. This will be composed in proportion to 50% * perlite and peat or compost universal dark. Using vas 
small 12/15 cm. in diameter, which partially filled with the mix and you insert a few centimeters, the basis of such pre-treatment with rooting hormones, at this stage is better to use a brace that tie. Add to a finish layer of gravel or pebbles washed previously, to eliminate various impurities, press well and soak thoroughly.

Add to a finish layer of gravel or pebbles washed previously, to eliminate various impurities, press well and soak thoroughly. 
The gravel will give stability to the cutting will prevent the dehydration of the mix and will make sure that the perlite, very light, does not rise to the surface when watered. Place the jar in a warm, bright sunlight but not direct 
and if everything will be fine in about 60 days. Looking through the drainage holes will see the sprouts.
and if everything will be fine in about 60 days. Looking through the drainage holes will see the sprouts. yet another month and we will remove the gravel, countersink the rooted cuttings, put it in the bowl final with the same mix for rooting. Will now receive as much sun as possible.
When you have formed a beautiful pink leaves (at least 3) we can begin to give her something to "eat"!
For the first year we need to focus more on growth than on flowering, then a fertilizer balanced with titling 20-20-20 will do fine, we will add in small amounts at each watering.
From June we will alternate between fertilization using a fertilizer with the same titration but to use the leaves, which dilute and spray directly on hair, always far from the sun and the hottest hours.
on plants already weaned over a year, instead we will focus on flowering, which benefit more laden with fertilizer phosphorus and potassium (high-use titling only mature plants) that will drive an abundant flowering, alternating doses for foliar for irrigation.
Please note that all foliar fertilizer can also be used for irrigation, but not all fertilizers can be used for irrigation for foliar and includes only those that specify the label!
If you have to ask me questions, concerns, or questions ... " COMMENT" I will be happy to respond.
