The germination rate of the frangipani seeds were about 50% after almost a month in the soil. Some of the seedlings look very healthy and growing happily, the others look ok and only one looks a little strange with the capsule opening up but no root system or stem has developed.

I pulled out a couple of seeds from the soil to see if there’s any roots growing. Only one had roots growing, a few I couldn’t quite pull out, so I’m assuming they’ve rooted and about 3 or 4 of the frangipani seeds, have some suspicious looking worm-like looking things on them. I could’ve sworn they looked as if they burrowed into the seeds!

Needless to say I’m not very happy. I’m not even sure what they are, I thought they were nematodes, but I thought nematodes were microscopic.

Anyway, so I think I’ll try to seek out advice, but I suspect I’m going to have to destroy the seeds that haven’t germinated.
