Adenium Obesum Triple Rainbow Lotus

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Triple Rainbow Lotus' (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 seed coat and improve germination rates.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix, which ensures proper drainage and prevents root rot.

3. Plant the Seeds: Press the seeds gently into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to ensure good airflow and reduce the risk of fungal infections.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soaked. Mist the surface regularly to maintain the humidity needed for germination. Once the seeds sprout (typically within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to prevent over-watering.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. After germination, gradually introduce the seedlings to more direct sunlight, avoiding harsh midday sun until the plants are well-established.

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Triple Rainbow Lotus' seeds will develop into a stunning plant with vibrant, multicolored flowers in shades of pink, orange, and yellow, adding a unique, tropical touch to your garden or home.
