Adenium Obesum Little Luengsiam

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Little Luengsiam' (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 outer seed coat and improve germination, especially for older seeds.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as one designed for cacti or succulents. This ensures that excess water drains properly and prevents root rot.

3. Plant the Seeds: Press the seeds gently into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space them apart to allow adequate room for growth and airflow.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which helps with germination. Be careful not to overwater, as Adeniums prefer drier conditions after sprouting.

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

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

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Little Luengsiam' seeds will grow into a beautiful, compact plant with vibrant flowers, making it a wonderful addition to your home or garden.
