Plumeria Mattalica

6 Seeds

To seed Plumeria Mattalica (a variety of Plumeria) from seeds, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Seeds: Plumeria Mattalica seeds are typically enclosed in a papery husk. If fresh, you can use them as they are. If older, soak the seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours to soften the seed coat and enhance germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a light, well-draining seed-starting mix, such as one made for cacti or succulents. Plumerias prefer slightly acidic, well-aerated soil.

3. Plant the Seeds: Press the seeds into the soil surface, about 1/4 inch deep (0.5 cm). Space the seeds apart to allow for good airflow and healthy growth.

4. Watering: Water gently but thoroughly, keeping the soil moist (not soggy). Mist the seeds lightly to maintain humidity, as Plumeria seeds require consistent moisture to germinate.

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm, sheltered location, ideally between 70-85°F (21-29°C). A heat mat or warm windowsill can provide the necessary warmth.

6. Light: After planting, provide bright, indirect light. Once seeds start sprouting (usually within 2-4 weeks), you can gradually introduce them to more direct light.

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

With patience and proper care, your Plumeria Mattalica seeds will grow into a stunning, fragrant flowering plant.
