Hi, I am interested in getting few cuttings but I really don't want to spend too much money. Any idea how much it will cost for the cutting and shipping? How soon will I get them?

This was a few months back. We all have our cuttings now and mine are fully rooted, so there aren't any more planned in the near future. It is not the cheapest to get the rare cuttings from the states. With shipping it was about $35 to $50 per cutting. There are plumeria growers in Canada that you can get cuttings for $15 ea plus shipping, but they tend to be of the more common varieties.. for most people that is totally fine. I just wanted more exotic cuttings to add to my collection.

Check with this person to see if they have any more cuttings. If you need help with growing don't be afraid to ask!

Thanks, will try. So did you have to get any certificate etc. to bring them in or not?

If you order normally across the border, yes, you do. However, Chin taught me a cool trick that you can ship them to a mail slot jus on the US side of the border and you drive down to pick them up. There is andirective you can quote (print it and take it with you to make you life easier) that allows you to bring up to 50 houseplants across the border with you. Most of the time this works just fine unless you come across a border guard with a bug up their ass and they'll argue with you on it. Sometimes the sticking point is if the plants have soil; they don't want pests entering the country... Luckily cuttings don't often have dirt with them, so it's not usually an issue. Badabing, don't have to pay phytocert fees!

How's everybody's plumeria rooting? All six of my plumerias have sprouted huge leaves and are growing mad.
