Adenium Obesum Violetta Aromatic

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium 'Violetta Aromatic' (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 and improve germination chances.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining potting 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 them apart to allow for good airflow and prevent overcrowding.

4. Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which is crucial for germination. Once the seeds sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid over-moistening the soil.

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), to promote optimal germination. A heat mat or a sunny location can help maintain a consistent temperature.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. After they sprout, gradually expose the seedlings to more direct sunlight, avoiding harsh 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 into your garden once the weather is consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, Adenium 'Violetta Aromatic' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with fragrant, violet-hued flowers, adding both color and fragrance to your garden or home.
