Adenium Obesum Triple Dark Rainbow

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Triple Dark Rainbow' (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 soil, to ensure proper drainage and prevent root rot.

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

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

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), for optimal germination. A heat mat or a sunny location will help maintain the right temperature.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Once the seeds sprout (usually in 2-4 weeks), gradually expose 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 directly into your garden when temperatures are consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Triple Dark Rainbow' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with rich, dark-colored, multi-hued flowers, making it a striking and unique addition to your garden or home.
