The hardest thing about planting plumeria seeds will be finding them. It is not difficult to grow this plant from seeds, but the plant grown in this way will probably not look like, once mature, what we would have imagined. This is why sellers usually prefer to market seedlings that have already sprung up. In most catalogs you will not be able to find plumeria seeds. You can find them, however, from your own maps - or if you search thoroughly online, you will be successful. Once you have found the seeds, read this article to understand how to plant them.
Steps

Step 3. Fill pots or shelves with the mixture
Step 4. Make a small hole in the ground with your finger
Step 5. Place each seed in its hole with the "winged" part pointing up
Step 6. Compact the soil around the seeds well, allowing a small part of the "wing" to show
Step 7. Put the pots or shelves in a warm and sunny place, above 15 °
Step 8. The soil should be moist but not too wet until the seeds come out, which will likely happen in about 20 days
Step 9. Transplant the newly hatched plumeria seedlings into individual pots after at least 2 sets of leaflets per seedling have come out
Advice
- Pink and multicolored plumeria seedlings are much more varied in appearance.
- The plumeria you grow from seeds may not grow as you imagine, while the plumeria you grow from a seedling that is already born may turn out much better.
- Plumeria will take about 3 years to flower if grown from seeds.
