I started my Plumeria hobby in late April with rooted plants and cutting donations from friends. Bought 2 10 packs of seeds. Decided that I did not want to mess with disturbing seedling roots to move to a larger pot.
I used the tiny peat pots and while they were dry punched 20 or 25 holes in the side with my moisture meter probe. Then I punched 5 to 8 in the bottom. Filled with my soil mix and inserted in the middle of a prepared with soil mix 0.8 gallon pot. Did 5 seeds at a time with wet paper towel soaking for 8 hoursand then into the mini peat pot center. 13 of 15 germinated. First 5 are 12 inches tall with 5 to 7 leaves and 1/2 inch diameter trunks. Second 5 are about 6 inches tall with 3 or 4 small leaves and 1/4 inch diameter. Last 5 are just getting real leaves and about 3 inches tall. Each group of 5 were planted about 2 weeks apart. My logic was that after they get a lot of leaves, I will just water the outside circle of soil and the roots will grow towards the moisture source and find all of those little 3/16 inches holes!
