Plumeria Rubra Daeng Hom

6 Seeds

To seed Plumeria Rubra Daeng Hom (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 papery 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 good aeration and prevents waterlogging.

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

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Mist the surface occasionally to maintain humidity, which is essential for germination. Avoid overwatering, 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 area can help maintain the right temperature for germination.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once they begin to sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), gradually increase exposure to direct sunlight. However, avoid intense midday sun until the seedlings are well-established.

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 patience and proper care, your Plumeria Rubra Daeng Hom seeds will grow into a stunning plant with vibrant, fragrant flowers, making a beautiful addition to your garden or home.
