mocropot Id love to have some to raise and use for grafting. Also that someone Whistling that mails seeds can fwd some with next shipment to Jonna!

Jonna thats very good advice. I am soaking for 24-48 hrs and then germinate in paper towel in zip lock bags (i use the bags to soak in also) right now i have 50 seeds in paper towels. I am bag rooting plumeria and have them on my metro shelf with a heater going to keep at 85 deg 24 hrs a day and have the seeds next to my grow lights witch keeps the seeds at 90 deg. I am afraid that my seeds are old and im not getting what i want for germination rate. Im bummed. i germinate my plumeria seeds same way. it keeps me from all the planting of seeds that dont germinate. some take much longer then others. I had some sprout in 3 days and some 3 weeks i think that is freshness of seed!

I was told that the key to germination of adeniums are to keep warm all the time they cant fluctuate much in temp if they cool to much they will not grow.

Btw Jonna im going to the PO Tuesday again so watch in a few weeks to try again!!
