Adenium Obesum Triple Fantastic Magenta

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Triple Fantastic Magenta' (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 hard outer shell, improving germination rates, especially for older seeds.

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

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 room for airflow and root development.

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

5. Temperature: Maintain a warm environment for germination, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A heat mat or a sunny spot can help provide the right temperature.

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

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Triple Fantastic Magenta' seeds will grow into a striking plant with vibrant magenta flowers, adding a bold and stunning touch to your garden or home.
