Adenium Obesum Triple Love Rush

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Triple Love Rush' (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 outer seed coat, which can 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 waterlogging, 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 them apart to ensure good airflow and room for healthy root growth.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface occasionally to maintain humidity, which is essential for germination. Once the seeds sprout, reduce watering, 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 will help maintain the right temperature.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Once the seeds sprout (typically within 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 Love Rush' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with vibrant, multi-colored flowers, adding a beautiful and striking touch to your garden or home.
