Plumeria Rubra Sai Thiong

6 Seeds

To seed Plumeria Rubra Sai Thong (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 germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining, light seed-starting mix. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal, as it allows good airflow and prevents waterlogging, which Plumerias are sensitive to.

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

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Mist the seeds regularly to maintain humidity, which helps with germination. Be careful not to overwater.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light after planting. Once the seeds sprout (usually in 2-4 weeks), gradually expose them to more direct sunlight. Avoid strong midday sun until the seedlings are well-established.

7. Transplanting: After the seedlings grow strong enough (usually after several months), transplant them into larger pots or directly into your garden when the temperatures are consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, your Plumeria Rubra Sai Thong seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with vibrant yellow to orange flowers, making a stunning addition to your garden or home.
