Plumeria Seedling

Growing plumeria from seed is exciting and rewarding for me. I looked at them every day from the day I plugged the seeds into the soil, and enjoyed every single development. In fact, seedling Plumeria is not a cultivation from the original plant. Plumeria planted from seed may have different flower from the mother's plant. Sometimes, Plumeria Seedlings may have exactly look like the mother's plant, but they are still seedling. However, growing plumeria from seed is stronger and more adaptable than cutting in term survival of the plant. They start with strong root system when they sprout and growing faster than cutting.

My favorite step when I grow Plumeria from seed is when they start to sprout out; the cotyledons start to expand. I was always excited to remove the husks off from the cotyledons, in this way I help them to grow faster :). After the husks removed, the new leaves will emerge, and they will happy to grow as plumeria seedling.



In this year, I started plant plumeria from seeds on beginning of May. I used 3 ex-clear- salad- containers, I like to see their root. I purchased some different kind of Plumeria seeds last year. They are about 5" height, and now I have about 68 Plumeria Seedlings.
