Can I plant the entire Plumeria seed pod to grow new plants?
While it is possible to plant the entire Plumeria seedpod, it is not the most effective method of propagation. Plumeria seeds need to be extracted from the seedpod and sown separately for better germination and growth. Planting the whole seedpod may lead to uneven or inconsistent seed germination, as the seeds inside may not have sufficient access to the surrounding soil. To ensure higher germination success, carefully collect the seeds from the seedpod and plant them individually in a suitable soil mix. This method provides better control over seedling development and allows for more successful propagation of new Plumeria plants.
