Adenium Obesum Triple Gamma Blue

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Triple Gamma Blue' (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, which helps improve germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix, to ensure good drainage and prevent water retention that could lead to root rot.

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

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

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

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

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Triple Gamma Blue' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with unique, striking blue-toned flowers, adding a stunning and exotic touch to your garden or home.
