Adenium Obesum Divine Creation

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Divine Creation' (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, improving the chances of 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 root rot by not retaining excess moisture.

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

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, but avoid overwatering. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which aids in germination. Adeniums prefer drier conditions after sprouting, so ensure the soil is not soggy.

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). Using a heat mat or placing the pot in a warm, sunny spot will help provide the optimal 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 directly into your garden when temperatures are consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, your Adenium obesum 'Divine Creation' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with unique, colorful flowers, adding an extraordinary touch to your home or garden.
