    I have some frangipani cuttings growing in pots. They are nicely growing, but it would be nice if they would grow some branches instead of just having long "sticks" with some leaves. How can I get my frangipani cuttings to grow branches?

    Thanks for any advice.

    I've found they generally start to branch after they flower which probably won't be until next spring or summer.Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad

    hi lucy, edleigh7 and kito are right. have one i planted 4 years ago ,
    it was 6 inch when planted, its 22 inches now it just had its first
    flowers last season and now its getting its first branch.
    those huge 10ft trees we see in old lady,s
    front yards must be 50-60 years old, i like them the smell is nice.
    n going by the price of small 1 foot plants the huge tree,s must be
    worth thousands.
    beautiful plant but seem to be very slow growing.but well worth it.
