Plumeria at home: reproduction
Propagate the flower seed method and cuttings. Seeds of plumeria are delivered to anywhere in the world, but nobody can guarantee the preservation of varietal qualities.
Lionfish on seeds should be left and planted with them. First, pour the seeds with warm water for a couple of hours. Ideally, the seeds need to be treated with a solution of fungicide, dunk for a couple of seconds into hydrogen peroxide. Such actions can significantly reduce the risk of seed decay during germination.
Before planting a plumery at home, the soil should be steamed in the oven or microwave oven. The most suitable is a sheet or turf ground, the substrate is rather loose and breathing. In a large pot or box fill a little soil and put the seeds, while the lion should hang over the surface.
Next, we make sure that the soil does not dry out, for this we periodically spray the soil from the spray gun. After sowing the box
A week later, the seeds will germinate. They should be planted as soon as two full leaflets are fully developed. When you transplant each sprout into a separate peat cup, it is not necessary to remove it when you plant it in a pot.
Keep in mind that the container with seeds should be in a warm place and in the sun. Over time, the sprout will need your help. Peel off the seed is difficult to remove, but it must be done, otherwise the growth of the flower will slow down. Simply by applying a wet fleece soften the peel and remove it.
