Adenium Obesum Triple Warm Sugar

5 Seeds

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

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

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining, light soil mix, such as one designed for cacti or succulents. This promotes proper aeration and prevents water retention, 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 the seeds apart to allow room for root growth and airflow.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Mist the surface occasionally to maintain humidity, which aids germination. Avoid overwatering, as Adenium plants prefer drier conditions once they start sprouting.

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A heat mat or a warm spot indoors can help maintain the right temperature for germination.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once they sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), gradually increase their exposure to more direct sunlight, but avoid intense midday sun until the seedlings are stronger.

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

With proper care, your Adenium obesum 'Triple Warm Sugar' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with triple-layered, warm-colored flowers, adding a tropical and eye-catching touch to your home or garden.
