Adenium Obesum Double Love Luminous

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium 'Double Love Luminous' (a variety of Desert Rose), follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to soften the tough outer seed coat and improve germination, especially for older seeds.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as one designed for cacti or succulents. This ensures proper drainage and prevents waterlogging, which can cause root rot.

3. Plant the Seeds: Gently press the seeds into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to allow room for airflow and healthy root development.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface occasionally to maintain humidity, which aids germination. Once the seeds sprout, reduce watering slightly, as Adeniums prefer drier conditions.

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A heat mat or a warm, sunny location will help maintain the right temperature for germination.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Once the seeds sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), gradually introduce them to more direct sunlight. Avoid harsh midday sun until the seedlings are established.

7. Transplanting: After a few months, when the seedlings are large enough, transplant them into larger pots or into your garden once the weather is consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, Adenium 'Double Love Luminous' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with double-layered, luminous flowers, adding a vibrant and stunning touch to your garden or home.
