Plumeria Rubra Purple Rain

6 Seeds

To seed Plumeria Rubra Purple Rain (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 encourage better germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining, light seed-starting mix, such as one for cacti or succulents. This ensures proper aeration and prevents waterlogging, which is important for root health.

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

4. Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which helps with germination. Avoid overwatering, as Plumeria roots are sensitive to 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 a consistent temperature for germination.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Once the seeds sprout (typically within 2-4 weeks), gradually increase exposure to direct sunlight. Avoid harsh 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 directly into your garden when temperatures are consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, your Plumeria Rubra Purple Rain seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with stunning purple and yellow flowers, making a vibrant addition to your garden or home.
