Adenium Obesum Deluxe

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Deluxe' (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 hard seed coat, which will improve germination rates.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining mix such as cactus or succulent soil to avoid water retention and promote healthy root development.

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 to reduce the risk of fungal infections.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which is crucial for successful germination. Once the seeds sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to prevent over-wetting the soil.

5. Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), to support optimal germination. Using a heat mat or placing the seeds in a sunny spot will help regulate the temperature.

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

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

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