Plumeria Rubra Rainbow Starburst

6 Seeds

To seed Plumeria Rubra Rainbow Starburst (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.

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, which can harm Plumeria roots.

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 proper airflow and room for root development.

4. Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Mist the surface of the soil regularly to maintain humidity, which is important for germination. Avoid overwatering as Plumerias 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 a warm windowsill can help maintain the proper temperature for germination.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Once the seeds sprout (typically within 2-4 weeks), gradually introduce them to more direct sunlight. Avoid intense midday sun until the seedlings are well-established.

7. Transplanting: Once the seedlings are large enough (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 Rainbow Starburst seeds will grow into a stunning plant with vibrant, multi-colored flowers, creating a beautiful addition to your garden or home.
