Jeranan Plumeria

6 Seeds

To seed Jeranan Plumeria (a variety of Plumeria), follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Seeds: If the seeds are fresh, you can plant them directly. For older seeds, soak them in warm water for 24-48 hours to soften the papery outer shell and encourage better germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a light, well-draining seed-starting mix, such as one made for cacti or succulents. This ensures proper aeration and prevents waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

3. Plant the Seeds: Gently press the seeds into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to allow for airflow and healthy root development.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which is crucial for germination. Avoid overwatering, as Plumeria roots are sensitive to sitting in water.

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 70-85°F (21-29°C). A heat mat or placing the pot in a warm, sunny spot can help maintain the proper temperature for germination.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Once the seeds sprout (usually in 2-4 weeks), gradually expose them to more direct sunlight. Avoid intense midday sun until the seedlings are well-established.

7. Transplanting: Once the seedlings are large enough to handle (usually after a few months), transplant them into larger pots or directly into your garden when outdoor temperatures are consistently warm and frost-free.

With patience and proper care, your Jeranan Plumeria seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with vibrant, fragrant flowers, adding a tropical touch to your garden or home.
