Adenium Obesum New Yellow

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'New Yellow' (a variety known for its vibrant yellow flowers), 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 rates.

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

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

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Mist the surface of the soil regularly to maintain humidity, which will help with germination. After the seeds sprout (usually in 2-4 weeks), reduce watering frequency.

5. Temperature: Keep the temperature between 75-85°F (24-29°C), which is ideal for germination. You can place the seeds on a heat mat or in a warm, sunny location to promote faster growth.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once the seedlings emerge, gradually introduce them to more direct sunlight. Avoid exposing them to harsh midday sun until they are well-established.

7. Transplanting: After the seedlings grow strong enough and the weather is consistently warm, transplant them into larger pots or into the garden once the risk of frost has passed.

With the right care, Adenium obesum 'New Yellow' will thrive and produce stunning yellow flowers, making it a beautiful addition to any garden or indoor plant collection.
