Hello everyone. Newbie here, but have been reading the forums for a while and as I started plumeria seeds a few months ago figured I'd give my feedback. I started 36 seeds I purchased from a seller on Amazon and 14 germinated. One set of seeds I have asked to be replaced as most were not in good condition. Anyways, I initially just put them into seedling starter trays filled with Miracle Grow Cactus mix, then placed the seed trays inside aluminum pans with plastic covers and stuck in a south facing window. Some sprouted within a few days and just took off. Others took about two weeks or so.

I was misting regularly with a simple solution of tap water and superthrive. Once I had a few good leaves I moved the seedlings into clear plastic cups so I could watch the root development. I also started watering/misting with a mixture of tap water, superthrive, and Dyna-Gro foliage pro and Pro-tekt. As it started to get colder I kept them inside the house and purchased LED grow lights to put them under.

Since they have taken off even more. One specifically already had 4 branches coming out and is just barely 6 inches. I have heat mats now and will be starting more seeds next week.

There's no replacement for displacement!
