Plumeria Rubra Butterfly Gold

6 Seeds

To seed Plumeria Rubra Butterfly Gold (a variety of Plumeria), follow these steps:

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

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining, light seed-starting mix. A cactus or succulent mix works well, as it allows proper airflow and drainage, preventing waterlogging.

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 good air circulation and room for root growth.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which helps with germination. Avoid overwatering, as Plumeria roots are sensitive to standing water.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light after planting. Once the seeds sprout (typically within 2-4 weeks), gradually increase exposure to direct sunlight. Avoid intense midday sun until the seedlings are strong enough.

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

With patience and care, your Plumeria Rubra Butterfly Gold seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with striking yellow flowers and a lovely fragrance, making a stunning addition to your garden or home.
