Moisten the Frangipani Seeds To hasten the germination process, the seeds need to be plumped up with moisture. The easiest way is to place the seeds between moistened tissue papers. Leave them for 24 hours in a warm environment. You will notice that the thicker part of the seeds will swell. The seeds will now be ready for sowing. 2. Prepare Potting Mix Meanwhile, 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’. It came with 0.88 lb. (400 gram) peat moss and ten numbers of cultivation pots that are 2 inches (5 cm) deep. If you don’t use this cultivation pot often, you can save money by reusing or recycling 0.12 gallon (500 ml) empty mineral bottles. Cut off two thirds of the bottle and use the bottom one third. Make holes at the base and, after cleaning, your cultivation pot is ready for use. 3. Transplant the Swollen Seeds Moisten the peat moss (or potting mix) and make a small hole in the mix. Gently push the plumeria seed about 0.2 inches (5mm) into the mix. Make sure the swollen end is at the bottom and the seed wing is at the top. Allow part of this wing to stick out of the soil. Tenderly press the soil against the side of the plumeria seed. 4. Create a Mini Greenhouse Effect Place these pots in an empty plastic container and cover it to create a mini greenhouse effect. Place it in a warm, lighted area, but not under full sunlight. Check daily to make sure the soil is not dry. If the top soil looks dry, mist it with water. 5. Wait for the Seeds to Germinate 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. It will drop off as the leaves grow bigger. If any of the seedlings show signs of mold during the germination process, treat it immediately with a mild fungicide. 6. Remove the Husk If It Sticks to the Cotyledons The husk will usually fall off by itself, but occasionally this may not happen soon enough. If these husks are not removed from the cotyledons (i.e. the embryonic first leaves of the seedling), the seedlings might rot and die. You may have to assist by spraying it with a fine mist and gently removing these husks. 7. Transplant the Seedlings Once you see a new set of leaves and the seedling is more than three inches tall, you can start to transplant it to a bigger pot. Gently remove the seedling from the cultivation pot and, together with the peat moss (or your potting soil), transplant it to the new and bigger pot. In my case, the plumeria plant will finally be planted in the ground. So, I reused an empty 2.5 gallon (9.5 liter) empty mineral bottle as the pot for transplanting. It is also lighter and easier to move around. Potting Soil I prepare my own potting soil using one part peat moss, two parts finely crushed clay bricks, and three parts garden topsoil. You can do similar ‘recipe’ or buy ready-made potting soil. Once you have it transplanted, water it every alternate day, but make sure the soil is not waterlogged. You can now introduce fertilizer that is high in phosphorus content to help your young plumeria grow strong and healthy. I use the organic fertilizer that is a mixture of cedars, cypress, pines, and plantains. I use it once a week. 8. Move the Plants to Full Direct Sunlight Plumeria or Frangipani loves direct sunlight, but this must be done gradually. A week is about just right for this ‘moving transition period’ from shaded to direct and stronger sunlight. You start by putting them in a shady and protected area. Leave them for a few hours. Increase the time for the next few days until it is a full day exposure but still under the shade. During this period, keep nudging the plants to be closer to the full sunlight. After a week of doing this, the plants will be ready to be exposed to full sunlight on a daily basis. That’s it, folks. Just sit back and enjoy your hard work. And make sure you water and fertilize as directed. Store Policies All seeds will come in a resalable plastic zip lock bag and placed in a bubble envelope so the seeds are not damaged by shipping machines. All seed packets contain no fillers or other weeds or seeds mixed in. Most have been harvested by hand & all test at a high germination rate. Seed Information We guarantee that all seed orders will contain the quantity ordered. Unlike many sellers who sell seeds by weight, all seed our counts are almost always correct, as the seeds are packaged and counted by hand. Seed packages are all double checked to insure accuracy. We do our best and will often add extra seeds. We are a seller that caters to experienced gardeners. (germination and plant care information is readily available online. Most of our listings include germination instructions, so we do not ship growing instructions. All My Seeds Are Sold Fresh So You Can Plant them Anytime within 2 years from Purchase ***Note: It is normal for tropical seed germination to be sporadic from as little as 30 days to 6 months or more- so patience is required. Buyers should do their own research for plant uses if needed. BE PREPARED – Some Seed can be somewhat difficult to germinate – much patience and time may be required – please don’t be wondering why the seeds have not germinated after short periods of time. This is normal. Several months will be needed for some seed. Some seeds require some experience in growing. We provide germination guidance and recommend that you do some research before ordering if you feel unsure. Growing plants from seed is supposed to be fun. Sometimes it is successful and sometimes not- this is the way it is with gardening. Because we are not there to plant them, we cannot be responsible for germination failure due to improper planting or climate conditions. We will always send you viable seeds Seed is a live product which depends on many important grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, watering, light intensity, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, soil conditions, and reasonable weather during the growing period. These factors are totally out of the sellers control, and germination and growing results are the buyer’s responsibility and risk. Payment Payment by paypal. We offer combined shipping.
