Planting & Care

Sow plumeria seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, pressing them lightly into the surface and covering with a thin layer of soil. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a warm temperature (around 70-80°F) for best germination. Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them into individual pots using a gritty, well-drained potting mix.

Provide plenty of sunlight and water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent rot. In cooler climates, grow plumeria in containers that can be moved indoors during winter. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth and flowering.
