Adenium Obesum Purple Butterfly

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Purple Butterfly' seeds, follow these steps:

1. Soak the Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.

2. Prepare the Soil: Use a light, well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, and add perlite or sand to enhance drainage.

3. Sow the Seeds: Evenly spread the seeds on the surface of the moist soil and gently press them down. Do not cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate.

4. Provide Warmth and Humidity: Place the container in a warm location (75-85°F or 24-29°C). Cover with a plastic dome or plastic wrap to maintain humidity and warmth.

5. Water Lightly: Mist the soil regularly to keep it moist but not soggy. Ensure good drainage to prevent mold and rot.

6. Germination: Seeds should germinate in 7-21 days, depending on temperature and humidity.

Once seedlings develop several leaves, transplant them into individual pots with a well-draining soil mix.
