Adenium Obesum Double Midnight

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium 'Double Midnight Serene' seeds, the process requires patience, precision, and just a touch of love for the delicate beauty this variety promises to unfold.

1. Soak the Seeds: Begin by soaking the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours. This will help soften their seed coat, encouraging a higher germination rate. Think of it as giving them a cozy, little spa treatment before they begin their journey to greatness.

2. Prepare the Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix—cactus or succulent soil works beautifully. For the perfect texture, add perlite or sand to boost drainage. Imagine this as creating a luxurious little bed for your seeds, where moisture will be just enough, but never drowning. A balance that any plant would envy.

3. Sow the Seeds: Gently scatter the seeds over the moist surface of the soil, pressing them down ever so slightly. Do not bury them! They need light to kick-start their sprouting process. It's like a little sunbath, just waiting to burst into bloom.

4. Provide Warmth and Humidity: Place the container in a warm, sunny spot, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). Cover with a plastic dome or plastic wrap to create a greenhouse effect, preserving warmth and moisture. This is their personal tropical vacation—no sunscreen needed.

5. Water Gently: Mist the soil lightly, keeping it moist but never soggy. Think of it as a gentle mist from a rainforest breeze—just enough to refresh, but not so much as to overwhelm. Excess water can lead to mold, and nobody wants to attend that party.

6. Germination: Expect the seeds to germinate in 7-21 days, depending on temperature and humidity. With the right care, you’ll see little green shoots pushing through, eager to greet the world.

As your seedlings grow and show off their first few leaves, it’s time to transplant them into individual pots with well-draining soil. They’ll be ready to flourish, and soon you'll have a stunning display of Adenium 'Double Midnight Serene' gracing your space. Who knew such beauty could start from such tiny seeds? It's a little miracle in every sprout!
