Adenium Obesum Cynthia

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Cynthia' (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 the chances of successful germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, to prevent waterlogging and promote healthy root growth.

3. Plant the Seeds: Press the seeds lightly into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to allow for airflow and to prevent overcrowding.

4. Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface to maintain humidity, which aids in germination. Once the seeds sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid over-moistening.

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 spot will help maintain the right temperature.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once the seedlings sprout, gradually introduce them to more direct sunlight, avoiding harsh midday sun until they are established.

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Cynthia' seeds will grow into a striking plant with vibrant flowers, adding beauty and color to your garden or home.
