Plumeria Rubra Lainthong

6 Seeds

To seed Plumeria Rubra Lainthong (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 outer shell and improve germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining, light seed-starting mix, such as one for cacti or succulents. This helps ensure proper aeration and drainage, which is important for preventing root rot.

3. Plant the Seeds: Press the seeds gently into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space them apart to allow room for healthy root development and air circulation.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, but not soggy. Mist the soil surface occasionally to maintain humidity, which helps with germination. Avoid overwatering as Plumeria seeds don’t like standing water.

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 70-85°F (21-29°C). Use a heat mat or place the pot in a warm spot to maintain a consistent temperature for germination.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Once the seeds begin to sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), gradually increase their exposure to direct sunlight. Avoid strong midday sun until the seedlings are established.

7. Transplanting: After several months, once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into larger pots or directly into your garden when the temperatures are consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, your Plumeria Rubra Lainthong seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with vibrant yellow to orange flowers, making a stunning addition to your garden or home.
