Plumeria Rubra Violet Black

6 Seeds

To seed Plumeria Rubra Violet Black (a variety of Plumeria), follow these steps:

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

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining, light, and slightly acidic seed-starting mix. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal, as it provides good aeration and drainage.

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

4. Watering: Water the soil lightly but consistently to keep it moist, not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which aids germination.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light after planting. Once the seeds begin to sprout (usually in 2-4 weeks), gradually increase light exposure, but avoid direct sunlight until the seedlings are established.

7. Transplanting: After the seedlings have grown strong enough (usually after a few months), transplant them into larger pots or into the garden when temperatures are consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, your Plumeria Rubra Violet Black seeds will grow into a stunning plant with vibrant violet and black-toned flowers, adding beauty and fragrance to your garden or home.
