Adenium Obesum Triple Golden Boy

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Triple Golden Boy' (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 promote better germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent soil. This ensures good drainage and prevents 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 allow airflow and healthy root development.

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

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 can help provide the right temperature.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Once the seeds sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), gradually expose the seedlings to more direct sunlight. Avoid harsh 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 once temperatures are consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Triple Golden Boy' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with vibrant golden-yellow flowers, adding a striking touch to your garden or home.
