Adenium Obesum Double Love Potion

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium 'Double Love Potion' (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 helps improve germination rates.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, to ensure good 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 them apart to ensure proper airflow and prevent fungal growth.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which is crucial for successful germination. Once the seeds sprout (in about 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid excess moisture.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. After they sprout, gradually introduce the seedlings to more direct sunlight, but avoid harsh midday sun until they are stronger.

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

With proper care, Adenium 'Double Love Potion' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with double-layered, vibrant flowers in shades of pink and red, adding a romantic touch to your garden or home.
