Adenium Obesum Siam Vanilla

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Siam Vanilla' (a variety of Desert Rose), follow these steps:

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

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

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

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, but not soggy. Mist the surface occasionally to maintain humidity, which aids in germination. After the seeds sprout (typically in 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid over-wetting the soil.

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

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

7. Transplanting: Once the seedlings are large enough (usually after a few months), transplant them into larger pots or your garden once the weather is consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Siam Vanilla' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with soft vanilla-colored flowers, adding elegance and charm to your garden or home.
