Plumeria Rubra Sunset Rainbow Hybrid

6 Seeds

To seed Plumeria Rubra Sunset Rainbow Hybrid (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 rates.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining, light seed-starting mix, such as one made for cacti or succulents. This helps with proper aeration and prevents water retention, 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 them apart to allow for proper airflow and healthy root development.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which is important for germination. Be careful not to overwater, as Plumeria roots do not tolerate standing 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 location can help maintain the ideal temperature for successful germination.

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

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

With proper care, your Plumeria Rubra Sunset Rainbow Hybrid seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with stunning multi-colored flowers, making a vibrant addition to your garden or home.
