Adenium Obesum Double Purple Charms 2

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Double Purple Charms 2' (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, improving germination rates.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, to ensure proper drainage and prevent waterlogging, which can cause root rot.

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 healthy root growth.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which aids in germination. Once the seeds sprout, reduce watering, as Adeniums prefer drier conditions once established.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Once the seeds sprout (typically within 2-4 weeks), gradually expose the seedlings to more direct sunlight. Avoid harsh midday sun until the seedlings are well-established.

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Double Purple Charms 2' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with stunning double purple flowers, making it a gorgeous and vibrant addition to your home or garden.
