Hi everyone,

I'm from Peniche, Portugal. First time growing plumerias would be happy to take any advices if you have since I'm a complete begginer. And will try to keep this updated with pictures as they grow. The cutting has been planted the first of july and the seeds germinated the 12 of july. Lately the weather has not been very sunny and since a lot of people seem to recommend to not let it go into dormency the first year, I've put them inside in a growth tent under a 60w led panel and with a small 15w extractor. I've fed them yesterday for the first time with a 0-50-30 fertilizer and waiting for a 3-8-8 fertilizer I ordered that I'm planning to feed regularely and use the 0-50-30 from time to time. Temp inside is 84,2 °F when lights are on for the seedlings and 78,8 °F for the cutting, humidity is around 65-75%. And they are getting 14 hours of light. One of the seedlings has a some burns but it was before I put them inside, I let someone take care of them for a week so I'm not sure what caused it but it keeps growing new leaves and it seems stable so will see, I really hope to see the cutting flower this year already and under grow lights would be amazing (sorry for my english)

CUTTING - SPECIAL WHITE FROM PLUMERIAS UK
SEEDLINGS - RANDOM

Welcome! Everything looks great to me. You will definitely see some blooms in a few weeks from that cutting. I've never grown under lights personally. My seedlings go dormant with everything else, but your setup looks good to keep them awake. As for the seedlings, I would give them something more balanced, like a 10-10-10 for growth, since you will not be getting blooms for a couple to a few years. No need to bombard them with a high phosphorus fert. Other than that, you got it. Keep us updated.

Hi thanks a lot for the adviceTeamCll will get another fertilizer for the seedlings and still keep the others for the cutting, next I'm looking to add 2 more plumeria seedlings to the box :

indonesian violet

miss famous


also adding soon (everything also started from seed)
Epiphyllum 'EV LATIMER'
Canna Lily 'King Humbert' - 'Butterfly Red
Adenium Triple Intersteller - Snowy Satin - Black Emperor

Will need to make more space for everything and also try to get better pictures

Happy plumerias growing!

Hello and welcome. Your plants look great.

Hi, thank you GigiPlumeria and Darwin101

Flowers

for the sad news I lost 1 little plumeria overnight, 2 leaves suddenly became copper but very flashy and fell off so I decided to just end it's life because I don't want a weak plumeria to take space, pretty sure I burned them with the fertilizer but the cutting seem to have reacted well. Think I might give up on growing from seed or just wait to germinate the new ones outside next season because they are growing very slowly in my opinion, I tested with a lux app and the amount of light is also probably not enough for good growth since they are not directly under the light, but for maintaining think it might be ok. I feel so lucky and happy to already see flowers the first year and new branches :D





The leaves are HUGE had to take out the little ones and put them in front of the window to make room because it's growing so fast.
