Plumeria Rubra Mayuree

6 Seeds

To seed Plumeria Rubra Mayuree (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 designed for cacti or succulents. This ensures proper aeration and prevents waterlogging, which is harmful to Plumeria roots.

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

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

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

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

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

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