Namaste.
About a year ago, I cut a branch from one of my big Ketaki plants and planted it in a separate pot. That too without any secret method, I just cut it diagonally with a knife and planted it in another pot. There is a short story behind why I was so confident about its successful growth.
About 7 to 8 years ago I had only one Ketaki plant and that too was about 12 inches tall. At that time that plant had 2 branches like the one shown below.
One day some construction work was happening at my house and a labourer accidentally dropped a heavy wooden plank on my plant. Due to which, one of the two branches broke and separated from the plant. I still remember how I cried for that plant. And then I angrily stab that broken branch into a space of another pot.
After a few days, I noticed that the branch was still green. Seeing this I became delighted and a hope arose in my mind that it would flourish again. I kept watering it regularly and then after a few days, I saw new leaves on it which was proof that this plant was alive. Andd this is how I came to know that the Ketaki plant is planted like this. Now that 8-inch newborn plant has grown to 6 feet tall.
Now about a year ago, I cut a branch from that 6 feet tall plant and planted it in a separate pot for my younger brother. I don't have pictures of that time because I had not even come to Hive then. But after 3 to 4 months in October 2023, I took these pictures in which you can see the big leaves that have grown after the monsoon rains.
Then in a few more months, this plant grew rapidly and its leaves were also much bigger than those of its parents.
Then about 1 month ago I noticed the buds on this plant forming for its first flowers. Since then I started taking pictures of it every few days so that I can show you all its growth and its first flowers.
This zooming was the limit of my phone camera. haha! Although it is not perfectly clear, you can feel its softness. : )
And then among all these, some buds took the lead and prepared to bloom first.
I wanted to take a picture of the entire bunch of these flowers but it is going to take some time for some of the buds to bloom. Even before taking these photos, my wife plucked 2 flowers to put in her hair. 😅
I hope you liked my gardening and phone photography!

That look like frangipani my friend. I have the red one at home, but it took me years for it to bear any flower, and the size of its tree is also a lot bigger than yours. I would be really happy if mine could have flower with that small size only

It may have different names in different places, here it is known as Ketaki. : ) Is your plant in a pot or in the ground? Although their roots do not require much space, their growth becomes very good when planted in the ground or in bigger planters. Well, I have seen its red shade at my neighbour's house, I will soon cut a branch from it and plant it at my place. :P
The growth rate of almost all plants increases during monsoon, so flowers will definitely bloom on your tree after the rain. : )
I planted them in the ground, and they have become quite big. I like the shade that they provide for my little front yard, keeping the heat of the sun. : )
but so nice to see them blooming right. ; )

They grow so much because they were planted in the ground. Roots in pots do not get full nutrition and space to grow. Well, your tree will also bloom during the rains, till then enjoy its shade. haha! : )
Cool plant 🪴 🌱
A truly is a beautiful fragrant flower. : )
The flowers are lovely, friend.
They truly are : ) Thank you for this lovely comment!

That ketaki plant is very beautiful with those stunning white flowers, no wonder your wife could use it to adorn her hair.
She did that :D If only I had arrived a little earlier, I could have taken pictures of 2 more flowers. But that's fine, I am happy they bloom! : )

We call that Kalachuchi here in our country. The Wikipedia definition of this is Temple Tree. We have 4 trees in our garden and they do flower a lot. We gather the flowers and adorn our altar with them.
