Adenium Obeaum Red Coral

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Red Coral' (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 promote better germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent mix. This ensures proper drainage and prevents water retention, which can lead to root rot.

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

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which helps with germination. Avoid overwatering, as Adeniums prefer slightly drier conditions after sprouting.

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

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

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Red Coral' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with vibrant red coral-like flowers, adding a bold and stunning touch to your garden or home.
