2. Make the Cut: Use scissors or a sharp knife to cut a branch from the plumeria plant. The branch should be about a foot long and have a couple of leaves on it.

3. Let it Heal: Put the cut branch in a shady place for about a week. This helps the cut end to form a protective covering.

4. Optional Help: If you have something called rooting hormone, you can dip the cut end of the branch in it. This can help the branch grow roots faster.

5. Plant the Branch: Put the cut end of the branch into a pot with soil. Make sure to cover at least one of the spots where the leaves were.

6. Find the Right Spot: Put the pot in a place that gets sunlight but not too much. Plumeria likes warm places.

7. Keep it Moist: Spray water on the branch and the soil to keep them a little wet. This helps the branch to grow roots.

8. Cover Up: You can put a plastic bag or something clear over the pot. This makes a small greenhouse to keep things humid, which helps the branch to grow.

9. Check for Roots: After a few weeks, gently pull the branch a little. If you feel some resistance, it means roots are starting to grow.

10. Give it Space: When you see roots growing, move the branch to a bigger pot with more soil. This gives the new plumeria plant more room to grow.

That’s it! By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to grow your very own plumeria plants from cuttings. Enjoy watching them grow and bloom with beautiful flowers!
