@DavidLMO Me too! I should have bought 2 OR 10 ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I almost bought one that was 6 feet long. Trouble is, I have no 6 ' shelves. It would hold 3 trays easily. You can use electric heat blankets, but I don't have one. Seeking Feng Shui with my plants since 1976 |

@DavidLMO Can't wait to see your Moragne #27 seedlings. Am anxious to compare notes as I planted them also..seeds from BB&B. Here are mine this morning on day 24. When do you plan on fertilizing (with what) and transplanting? At 4 or 6 true leaves? ![]() ![]() |

![]() When do you think I should pot up and what size pot? Fertilizer? These are my first seed babies to grow. The first attempt was weird, as you may recall...started using paper towel method and got leaves and no root ![]() ![]() |

I would step up all the way to a one gal. once you have four true leaves. I base this in part on the time of year; spring is coming and they will want to grow. Once they are established in their new pot start fertilizing - either use a timed release fertilizer (my preference) or use a regular (always well-balanced) one at half strength. Be sure not to push 'growth' too much, or you'll end up with a lanky plant. |

Congrats! I'm thinking of ordering some to start. Would be a cheaper alternative to add to my collection! ![]() "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding . In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 |

When do you plan on fertilizing (with what) and transplanting? At 4 or 6 true leaves? As always, keep in mind that we are all over the place - what works for me, will not necessarily work for you someone in WA, CA, FL and so on. And what I state is what I do in general - there are always exceptions. I do grow a lot of stuff from seed - this year likely 2,000 +. I will not fertilize until they are potted up and have 2 or more sets of true leaves. Prior to that, I may use a Foliar Spray due to the nature of the plant. For these, I will move to 2.5 - 4 inch pots. Since I have never grown Plumeria from seed, I have no idea how quickly things will progress. I am hoping to have them in 6 inch pots by the end of my growing season - ~ Mid October. My hunch is that will not be the case. When I first fertilize, I will use liquid in water. After I feel that has worked its course, I will move to timed - I usually use Osmocote. Seeking Feng Shui with my plants since 1976 |

Azgarden said: No more paper towel method for me or maybe it was a fluke. I was using H2O2 solution so was surprised when mold raised its ugly head. I don't use the paper towel method very often as I have not had good luck with it. If you get mold on them, a 10 % bleach solution works well. Mold in such cases is usually due to too wet paper towel. Seeking Feng Shui with my plants since 1976 |
