Testing Plumeria Seed Viability with the Float or Soak Method When growing plumeria from seed, it’s essential to start with viable seeds to avoid wasting time, effort, and space. One of the simplest ways to assess seed viability before planting is the float or soak method. While not perfect, it provides a fast and low-tech […]

Soaking plumeria seeds before planting is a highly recommended practice that can significantly enhance germination. Here are several reasons why this step is beneficial: 1. Softens the Seed Coat 2. Speeds Up Germination 3. Encourages Even Germination 4. Identifies Viable Seeds 5. Prevents Mold and Fungus 6. Hydrates the Embryo How to Soak Plumeria Seeds […]

Soaking Plumeria Seeds in Container to Test Viability To determine the germination potential of a batch of 70 seeds, I’ve implemented a method that harnesses the physical properties of water to accelerate the soaking process. The procedure involves filling a plastic container to the halfway mark with hot tap water and carefully adjusting the temperature […]
