Adenium Obesum Double Purple Charms 1

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Double Purple Charms 1' (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, which will help improve germination.

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

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 proper airflow and room for root expansion.

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

5. Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), for optimal germination. A heat mat or a sunny spot will help maintain the ideal 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: Once the seedlings are large enough (after a few months), transplant them into larger pots or into your garden once temperatures are consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Double Purple Charms 1' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with double purple flowers, adding vibrant color and beauty to your home or garden.
