Adenium Obesum Muang Jumpa

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Muang Jumpa' (a variety known for its vibrant flowers with shades of pink and red), follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to soften the hard seed coat, which can improve germination.

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

3. Plant the Seeds: Lightly press the seeds into the soil, about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to avoid overcrowding and improve airflow.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soaking wet. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity until germination, typically within 2-4 weeks. After sprouting, reduce the watering frequency to avoid rot.

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), to encourage germination. A heat mat or placing the seeds in a sunny, warm location can help.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. After they sprout, gradually expose the seedlings to more direct sunlight, but avoid harsh midday sun until they are well-established.

7. Transplanting: Once the seedlings have grown large enough and the weather is consistently warm, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden once the risk of frost has passed.

With patience and proper care, Adenium obesum 'Muang Jumpa' will grow into a striking plant, producing beautiful pink and red flowers and adding a touch of tropical beauty to your garden or home.
