- Filmed live at the 2016 Frangipani Expo held in Perth, Western Australia.
Dennis Schmidt shows viewers a variety of methods that have proven to be successful.

I have asked Dennis to come on and answer your questions. He is the presenter.
I grafted six varieties of scions on a plumeria tree planted in a pot. Almost all took. The blood red one blooms later than others. I have different flowers and fragrance during the season. Now I have over 7 varieties of these plants. I have been doing all these grafts not only on plumeria but also Avocados, pears, peaches and plums.
Your video has reinforced my desire to graft multiple variety on a root stock.
Thanks.
The coolest thing is that he goes through 3 kinds of grafting techniques; the straight cut, the diagonal cut, and the ‘V” graft. Yes, I watched just for the “V” graft. However, he shows how to use a skinny piece of wood during the first grafting ( straight cut) to hold the plant still during the cutting stage which is helpful.
But an awesome pro Thai technique is shown during the “V” graft. It’s called a “stirrup” and it can really keep those grafted pieces together much more effectively for a successful graft! Thank you so much for this FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!🏆
Good day. You may also try to research re wedge-cut on CZcams. I believe that is the most stable and larger area of contact points.
Thanks for your excellent video. I like your various grafting techniques even though I can understand about 45% of your accent. 👍
Great video
I know he knows what he is doing but I just died a little with that first cut.
Very nice video good information 👍 thanks for sharing sir
Excelente!!.
great ,informative video thanks....but i have a Question if i may....can one do a lateral graft on them....i mean to add a side branch with out looseing the top
?
The worst enemy of your graft is ALWAYS wind! Wind will dry out the graft joint or break a newly grafted branch. If you live in an area with super dry spring winds like Southern California, keep them wrapped for a couple of months. If moisture gets in under the tape you can take the tape off and let it dry for a few hours and re-wrap it after a hour to prevent moisture rot. Also, keep your grafts short(5-8 inches) and they have a better chance of surviving, since there is less area to feed. And I also use cutting compound on the cut wound after unwrapping to keep it from drying out/shrinking and healing without scars. Always wrap your graft tight. If you use short grafts you don’t have to use zip ties. And I cover the graft section with heavy brown paper the first few week to keep the joint from cooking, drying out, and rotting.
Cutting compound? Is like the rooting hormone we use for cuttings?
Can you graft into the side of the trunk instead of lopping off the top? I have seen this done with fruiting trees, and wonder if it will work with Plumeria.
What do I do if the lower base of my plumeria is rotting. But the top part is okay. Can I cut and repot.
Which time or season is best for plumeria graft
This is so cool. I wish I had more than one kind of this plumeria. Where is a good place to find them? Reasonable priced. Locals want $50 for 4. Not doing that.
Me gustaría la explicación en Español😢😢 la verdad entiendo muy poco , para seguir exactamente todo exacto
This feels like a dumb question, but do I have to wait till I have an established plant before I graft? i.e. can I have 4 cuttings, 1 fairly big piece for the base with 3 for the cutting. Do the grafting and then plant them all together?
Have you ever used grafting to create a fork? i.e. two new branches from a single branch.
What's the purpose of the graph? Is it to mix a new color with the plants existing color? Sayyyyy....the plant is pink and the graph piece is yellow. Does this mean it will bloom pink and yellow flowers the following year? Or, does it mean just the branch you are graphing will bloom in yellow (without any pink involved)?
What does Robin William's know about plumerias? The 🙂
What a great beginner videos. I live in Los Angeles, California USA. The average temperature is usually about degrees. 75. Question?? When is the earliest time I can get started grafting? Is there a deadline for grafting plumeria here in Los Angeles? Thanks again for your time/help. Best James
you need sap flow and warmth for the graft to take well, I graft from spring through to the end of summer/early autumn, the graft takes in around 2 weeks than it takes a month or so to be solid, they need to be kept warm but out of direct sun during this period
@@thaifrangipani2350 Thanks again for your time/help. Happy holidays
March
watching from mam malo
Hi can you please tell me how I can create new colors. Thanks
Hi, on the second graft. Can I know what root stock did you use ?
it was all supplied by a nursery, I believe it was mainly aussie white
शानदार 👍
Does anybody have a video of an actual tree that has been grafted that has different flower colors pruven overtime got to change to whatever the rootstock was?
they remain their original colour, root stock has no effect on them at all. The tree(jimi hendrix) I grafted at the farm in NSW with over 50 varieties has been growing for several years after the grafts and all retain the true colour, it can be seen on better homes and gardens
I am in Dehradun North India.
Is that scotch tape you used to wrap the cut together
Do I have to remove the tapes and how long after, and would it damage the plant thanks
on the angle slices, why not hold them together with the stick pins instead of the zip ties while you put the tape on
I started using the zip ties on these grafts at the farm to stop birds(cockatoos) from breaking the grafts off when they landed on them or took off from them, all grafting was done in the field and the zip ties added extra security but can also be used in all situations as some people find it easier to do, pins would not have help the graft together or offered the extra security. I developed this method to stop breakages from birds
@@thaifrangipani2350 Good to know! I saw a mocking bird knock the graft off of my pecan tree using only tape to secure it. I will try the zip ties next time. :)
Very professional
Is he speaking english?? Cant understand anything!
its my aussie accent
Your cameraman is terrible it’s ridiculous I’m seasick
I'm sure it was an informative video, but I gave up after about 3 minutes. That herky-jerky camera was giving me motion sickness. Put the damned camera on a tripod next time!
GatesCo1965 We are sorry you experienced motion sickness. We never actually planned on recording on a second device for youtube. Originally the tripod camera was for displaying on the big screen for the audience. At the last minute my daughter jumped up on stage and went live on Facebook holding her phone... not an easy task for someone to do for 30+ minutes. We will be much more organised next time :)
