Adenium Obesum Happy Bunny

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Happy Bunny' (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 helps improve germination.

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

3. Plant the Seeds: Gently press the seeds into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space them apart to allow for airflow and healthy root development.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which is important for germination. Once the seeds sprout, reduce watering, 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 can help keep the temperature consistent.

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

7. Transplanting: After a few months, when the seedlings are large enough, transplant them into larger pots or directly into your garden once temperatures are consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Happy Bunny' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with vibrant flowers, adding color and joy to your garden or home.
