Plumeria Flower Seeds for Gardening

Growing Instructions for Frangipani Seeds

If you want to grow your own plumeria or frangipani from seeds, follow these tested and proven steps:

1. Moisten the Seeds To speed up the germination process, you need to plump up the seeds with moisture. The easiest way to do this is by placing the seeds between moistened tissue papers and leaving them in a warm environment for 24 hours. You will notice the thicker part of the seeds swelling, indicating that they are ready for planting.

2. Prepare Potting Mix You can either prepare your own potting mix or buy it ready-made from a nursery. For this project, I used Baba brand 'Seedling Package', which included 0.88 lb. (400 gram) peat moss and ten 2-inch (5 cm) deep cultivation pots. If you don't use cultivation pots often, you can save money by reusing or recycling 0.12 gallon (500 ml) empty mineral bottles. Cut off two thirds of the bottle, make holes at the base, clean it, and it's ready for use as a cultivation pot.

3. Transplant the Seeds Moisten the peat moss (or potting mix) and make a small hole. Gently push the plumeria seed about 0.2 inches (5mm) into the mix, with the swollen end at the bottom and the seed wing at the top. Make sure part of the wing sticks out of the soil, and tenderly press the soil against the side of the seed.

4. Create a Mini Greenhouse Effect Place the pots in an empty plastic container and cover it to create a mini greenhouse effect. Put it in a warm, lighted area, but not under full sunlight. Check the soil daily to ensure it stays moist, misting it with water if it looks dry.

5. Wait for Germination Depending on the freshness of the seeds, it will take from seven days to over a month for them to germinate. Most of the time, the leaf will emerge with the remains of the husk still attached, which will drop off as the leaves grow bigger.

Growing Zones: 4-11 (potted) & 10-11 (in ground) Mature Height: 30-40 ft. Sunlight: Full – Partial Water: Moist, well Drained Spacing: 10-12 ft.

By following these growing instructions, you can successfully grow your own plumeria or frangipani from seeds.
