Adenium Obesum Triple Blood Moon

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Triple Blood Moon' (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 seed coat and improve germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent mix. This ensures proper drainage and prevents water retention, which could lead to root rot.

3. Plant the Seeds: Gently press the seeds into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to allow for good airflow and proper root development.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface occasionally to maintain humidity, which aids germination. After the seeds sprout, reduce watering slightly, as Adeniums prefer drier conditions once they establish.

5. Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), to encourage germination. A heat mat or a sunny, warm spot can help maintain optimal temperature conditions.

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

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Triple Blood Moon' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with bold, deep red flowers, adding a striking and dramatic touch to your garden or home.
