Growing them from seed is really easy - and really addicting!! There are many good threads you can search on this topic - because there are a few different ways you can do it. Here's how I do it:

It's always an advantage to have a heat mat or someplace that has a fairly constant amount of heat for them.

Some people soak them in a wet paper towel for about 8 hours or so with a bit of SuperThrive but some people don't and I think they do fine. I do this and leave them in the paper towels in a Tupperware container with the lid on, sitting on the heat mat.

I like to use strawberry containers with the lid cut off because it has drainage holes already and I can fit up to 15 seeds in there at a time. You only need a few inches of soil to start the seedlings - this also will help the soil stay warmer on its heat source.

After soaking for a few hours I put them in moist, well draining soil just like the other plumies. Put them wing side up with about half - 3/4 of the seed in the soil. I find it easier to get them in snugly if I wet the soil first and then push them in gently or make a depression, sit it in there and pinch the dirt around it. Then I water them (gently) thoroughly, let the excess water drain out and then put them on the heat mat.

I mist them really well twice a day with a spray bottle to avoid dislodging them, so once in the morning and once at night. You want to never let them dry out but without over watering them. Keep them warm.

And, you wait.

They should sprout in about 7-14 days.

Again, this is just how I do it some others let them get a root growing in the paper towel, some float them in styrophoam peanuts, etc.

Good luck - we'll want pictures!!

Thank you so much for the info I will look at different threads I have been growing plumerias for about 4 years and it gets more addicting every day, but I love it its a good addition to have

This is my first from seeds also. I just went to the local hardware store and bought these trays, potting soil, perlite, and a heat mat. They started sprouting in just over a week. I didn't prep the seeds. I just put them in the dirt tail up, and up they came.

The soda caps are the ones that came up yesterday. I'm keeping track of them for no good reason. Just want to track the number that pop up each day.

I am excited about getting mine in their pots I have a greenhouse so do I need to put them onto the heat mat do you think good luck

I wouldn't think so.

Your lucky, I'm currently begging my wife for a greenhouse.

My experience from seeds I found out is that the number one thing is Good Seeds. They all have a mind of their own germination-wise, growth habit and rate. Don't over water them and don't kill them with kindness. Their addicting.

And of course patience is the key.

For those who have grown from seeds before, what is the average germination rate of good seeds?

Quality seeds is the key. I average 90%.

I was blown away by how easy they germinate.

Beachlorax, thanks for the info.

I bought some seeds a few months ago, and I noticed the most of the seeds were flat, and only 6 came up out of 100 seeds. Are those flat seeds good? or they should be fat?

How long have they been in the soil? At two weeks you should know if they are good are not. When they were mailed to you how were they packaged? A member on here mailed me some seeds for free. We are in the same city and 19 of the 20 were crushed. I think the machines at the post office crushed them.

My Plumeria seeds from Thailand took approx 7 days to germinate.

Ed..

mine were from Thailand too, my question was that the flat seeds are good. some plumeria grower say seed should be fat. seeds were in the soil for 3-4 weeks, 6 came up in a week or 2.
