Here's how I germinated plumerias from seed last year. I bought about 30 clear plastic salad bowls with lids from the dollar store. I had some floral oasis laying around (don't really know why!) I filled the bowls with water and cut my oasis into little rectangles. I then took the oasis rectangles and took a sharp pearing knife and cut little tiny crescents into the oasis. Make sure the holes are just big enough to hold the seeds in place. I usually had about 10-15 seeds per oasis. The seeds need to be "wing" side up in the oasis! When you get your plumeria seeds you can see the "wing" end. Just make sure that the tip of the seed stays in the water and the wing is up out of the water. Next, I placed the oasis seeds in the bowls of water and placed them outdoors in the sun. The oasis will stay affloat and you can watch through the bowl for seed growth.
Here's a photo of the seeds rooting in the salad bowl.
