My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I see this seed pod on my tahitian sunset plumeria plant since last November. How long do these pods take to mature and do they open or have to be opened to check on seeds?
A seedpod takes about 9 months to be ready. So you still havel a long time to go. If you try to open the seedpod to check on the seeds before they are ready then you will lose all of them. Just hang in there. :)
I have never had a seed pod. Barb is right though because the seeds would stop growing AND, you would also risk introducing moisture to the pod which also would be inviting mold.
I have seen pictures here where people will slide an old stocking over the seed pod so once the pod matures and splits open, the seeds themselves won't blow away.
Go to Plumeria 101.com and you can find out how to plant the seeds when they open and are ready to plant. They have to be planted a certain way, I didn't know that and wondered why mine didn't sprout then I found this site and now almost all my seeds sprout.
Nice to see you and congratulations on your seed pod!
Keep an eye on it and when you see it start to split , then I would put a knee hi over it and tie it up. Mine go from green to purple at times to black. Depending on the variety. It will be fine .
Let us know when it opens. I like to plant my sees wing high in the mix. Others on FB like to lay flat. It just depends on style !
Good luck!!
Soooo nice to see you !!! How are you trees doing this year ?
I thinking of giving a few large ones if you travel to Vb?
Grandy3, thanks for your suggestion, I will check on plumeri101 site on planting seeds instructions.
Laura, Good to hear from you, The seedpod turned purple now, I am excited and will let you know once it opens. All my plumerias are doing good. I am planning to visit VB in August, I will send you an email ahead to make sure you are home, I sure want to see your 'plumeria paradise' once.. thanks
