You can put them each in little two-inch pots or four-inch pots and then move them up to one-gallon containers this summer. With seedlings, they develop a strong root system right away -- stronger than cuttings' root systems, which is why they are often used for grafts. The more room you give them for their roots, the bigger and healthier they will be. Small containers will limit their growth. I am usually against overpotting, but I make a small exception with plumeria seedlings. I just started some seeds myself using the paper towel method. Here are some pictures below. This picture is on November 1st and shows the seeds in a moist paper towel in a sandwich baggy on a cookie sheet, absorbing the heat and light of the sun: |
