Adenium Obesum Double Skyline

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Double Skyline' (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 and improve germination.

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

3. Plant the Seeds: Gently press the seeds into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space them apart to ensure good airflow and reduce the risk of fungal infections.

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 (typically in 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid over-wetting the soil.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once the seedlings sprout, gradually introduce them to more direct sunlight, avoiding harsh midday sun until they are strong enough.

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Double Skyline' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with double-layered, vibrant flowers, adding beauty and elegance to your garden or home.
