Adenium Obesum Triple Splatter

7 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Triple Splatter' (a variety of Desert Rose), follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Seeds: If the seeds are fresh, you can plant them directly. For older seeds, soak them in warm water for 12-24 hours to soften the outer shell and improve germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a light, well-draining soil mix, such as one designed for cacti or succulents. This ensures good drainage and prevents waterlogging, which can cause 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 provide enough room for healthy root development and airflow.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, but not soggy. Mist the surface occasionally to maintain humidity, which is important for germination. Avoid overwatering, as Adenium plants prefer drier conditions once sprouted.

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A heat mat or placing the pot in a warm, sunny spot 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 them to more direct sunlight, but avoid intense midday sun until the seedlings are stronger.

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

With the right care, your Adenium obesum 'Triple Splatter' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with striking triple-colored flowers, adding a vibrant and unique touch to your garden or home.
