Plumeria Rubra Imperial Crown

6 Seeds

To seed Plumeria Rubra Imperial Crown (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, and slightly acidic seed-starting mix. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal, as it provides excellent aeration and drainage.

3. Plant the Seeds: Gently press the seeds about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep into the soil. Space them apart to ensure proper airflow and healthy growth.

4. Watering: Water the seeds lightly and consistently, keeping the soil moist (but not soggy). Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which aids in germination.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light after planting. Once the seeds start to sprout (typically within 2-4 weeks), gradually increase exposure to 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 your garden when outdoor temperatures are consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, your Plumeria Rubra Imperial Crown seeds will grow into a stunning plant with vibrant, fragrant flowers, making a beautiful addition to your garden or home.
