Adenium Obesum Budsaracome

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Budsaracome' (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, which can help improve germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, to ensure proper drainage and prevent 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 for proper airflow and healthy root growth.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not overly wet. Mist the surface occasionally to maintain humidity, which is beneficial for germination. Once the seeds sprout, reduce watering slightly, as Adeniums prefer drier conditions once established.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Once the seeds sprout (usually in 2-4 weeks), gradually expose the seedlings to more direct sunlight. Avoid intense midday sun until they are well-established.

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Budsaracome' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with beautiful flowers, adding an elegant touch to your garden or home.
