Growing Frangipani From Seed?

Does anyone have any ideas for growing Frangipani Seeds? I have been trying to grow some for a while now without success. They sprout out the bottom and that is as far as I get.


I have tried with combinations of Perlite/Sand and Potting Mix.





I live in NSW Australia if that effects anything.

Growing Frangipani From Seed?
Here are some tips for growing Frangipani from seeds:





Growing Medium:





Use a mixture of 60% Peat and 40% Perlite on silica sand. Or use a high quality soil-less mix. Asterile medium that retains moisture and provides good drainage is needed for best results





Sowing Preperation:





To jump-start the germination process, place the seeds in a moist, warm environment for 12 to 24 hours prior to sowing. An easy way to achieve this is to place the seeds between moistened paper towels in a 5cm deep glass baking dish, cover with plastic and place in a warm area 26 - 32*C if possible. After this the thicker end of the seed should be noticeably swollen.





Sowing Method:





Choose a planting container with at least 8 - 10cm deep. Fill with pre-moistened growing medium make a small hole and gently push seed 5mm vertically into medium, firm soil against side of the seed. The seeds wing should be sticking straight up. Cover container with a domed lid and place where it can maintain a temperature of 26 - 32*C and receive bright light but not full sun. DO NOT LET SOIL DRY OUT.





The seeds will take 7 to 30 days to germinate. Any signs of mold during the germination should be immediately treated with a fungicide.





Transplanting:





Once the seedling have developed their second set of true leaves they can be transplanted, begin feeding with a high nitrogen fertilizer and gradually move into stronger sunshine.





I am sure that you will get lovely Frangipani plants after folowwing these tips.





Good Luck.
Reply:I don't know . but maybe you would need bought ones as these would be coated with a fungicide. Frangipanis grow very easily from a cutting just take a nice straight branch and put straight into the soil. keep it watered until it gets established
