Adenium Obesum Double Pheobex

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Double Pheobex' (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 can improve germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining 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 evenly to allow for good airflow and prevent overcrowding.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface occasionally to maintain humidity, which aids in germination. After the seeds sprout (typically within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid over-moistening the soil.

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

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

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Double Pheobex' seeds will grow into a striking plant with beautiful double flowers, adding color and elegance to your home or garden.
