Adenium Obesum Triple Star Fire

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Triple Star Fire' (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 improves germination rates.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, to prevent waterlogging and support healthy root growth.

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 prevent overcrowding.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not overly wet. Mist the surface to maintain humidity, which is important for germination. Once the seeds sprout (typically within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid excessive moisture.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once they sprout, gradually expose the seedlings to more direct sunlight, avoiding intense midday sun until they are well-established.

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Triple Star Fire' seeds will grow into a striking plant with vibrant, star-shaped flowers, adding bold color and beauty to your home or garden.
