Adenium Obesum Triple Marshmallow

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Triple Marshmallow' (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 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 the seeds apart to allow for 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 (usually within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering, as Adeniums prefer drier conditions once established.

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), to encourage 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, gradually introduce the seedlings to more direct sunlight, but avoid harsh midday sun until the seedlings are well-established.

7. Transplanting: Once the seedlings are large enough (usually after a few months), 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 Marshmallow' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with triple-layered, pastel-colored flowers, adding a unique and beautiful touch to your home or garden.
