    Hey hacksaw lightbright queen,

    Tell you the truth I didn't know it was possible. I guess that makes up for the seed that didn't make it. :P

    I had it happen recently . One was really big and healthy. The other was very small but looked to be healthy. In looked miniature. also had a albino, but it didn't make it of course. They are like a box of chocolates.

    I separated mine, I wish I would of kept them together. Keep yours together and observe their progress and keep us informed. Mine didn't share a common root. Do you know if yours does?

    Hendo13 400 seeds????? They must keep you busy. My wife doesn't like the idea of me planting 100. She wants to know where I'm gonna put them.

  • 11 years ago

    Mine thinks the same thing. I told her right next to the others

    @ SA & 45 - you guys must have a but load of space to keep that many seedlings, hope you have some special trees hidden away in there!

    Not sure if my twins share a root, haven't wanted to mess with them.

    I'll try to post an update if I get home early enough.

    Lol, I have plenty of yard.....but I don't know where I'm gonna put them in the winter. The garage is gonna be full. Hoping to buy a greenhouse.

    Okay, what do you make of this? I was checking on the seedlings and it appears that I have two sprouts coming out of plants that are roughly a month old. I don't know if they are plumeria or not . If they are, then it puzzles me. I planted single seeds in a seed tray. Waited till they got their second set of leaves. Then placed them into the containers they are in now. Can plumeria send out runners, or a second stem out of the same root? That would kinda explain the delay in spouting.

    This is really interesting.....when the ones I had sprouted twins they sprouted at the same time and were right next to each other. The ones in your pic are spaced apart which is really neat. I've never heard of plumeria seedlings sending out runners but I also don't know how to explain it either. They are all Plumeria seedlings too.......so you don't have a random plant sprouting. That's almost worth uncovering the soil to see what happened.....almost.

    Yeah, I couldn't resist.... Just took them apart, and they are separate no roots are connected. So maybe they are totally different seed. Maybe not even a plumeria. Since the other day I pulled a peanut plant out of my big plumeria. I'm guessing a squirrel must of hid it there.

    Do you think twins come from the same seedling, or do you think there are two seedlings in one seed? My twins seemed like two seedling in one seed. One big seedling and a inferior seedling.

    SA and Plumejunkie it's going to be awesome to see what colors they end up blooming. I would guess they cone from one seed but somehow have two seedlings in one. I really need to call my friend to see how the twins are doing that I gave him. This is a interesting topic.....just wish we didn't have to wait so long to see them bloom.

  • 11 years ago

    @ hendo, thanks for tuning in. It's going to be a long journey. Strap in and enjoy the ride... :P

    Hi Plumejunkie. Sorry to dig this old thread up, but I'm wondering how your twins are!

    Today I found a twin seedling in my latest batch. The seed had a real hard struggle to shed its coat, I'd been wondering why, but this explains it all:

    This is one of the twins. It's a 14 month old seedling. Looks healthy but just doesn't grow.

  • 10 years ago

    So they got separated?

  • 10 years ago

    Mine wernt actually twins, it was two seeds stuck together.

    Conny - I've noticed if you peel the wing off before you sprout it helps the seedlings pop out of the shell. :)

    Thanks Plumejunkie!
