I started rooting plumarias in a similar way. Here in Chicago they cost $50 for a 12 inch stalk and More $$ the larger they are. When I found this could be done when ever I would go to the keys I would break a branch of and take it home. I would take all the leaves off it dip the cut end in water then dip it in shcultz root hormone. I would stick the stalk in soil about 4 inch down and keep it in a sunny room and keep it moist and warm and about 30 days later lots of roots. Now I have seen stalks for sale online for 4 to 7 each.
