Adenium Obesum DNA

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'DNA' (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 seed coat and improve germination chances.

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

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which is important for germination. Once the seeds sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering slightly, as Adeniums prefer drier conditions once established.

5. Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), for optimal germination. A heat mat or a sunny location can help maintain the right 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 well-established.

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 'DNA' seeds will grow into a stunning plant, known for its vibrant flowers and striking appearance, making it a beautiful addition to your home or garden.
