Adenium Obesum Triple Black Beauty

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Triple Black Beauty' (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 helps improve germination rates.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, to ensure proper drainage and prevent waterlogging.

3. Plant the Seeds: Gently press the seeds into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space them apart to ensure good airflow and room for root growth.

4. Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface lightly to maintain humidity, which aids in germination. Once the seeds sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid excess moisture.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once they sprout, gradually introduce the seedlings to more direct sunlight, but avoid 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 obesum 'Triple Black Beauty' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with dark, dramatic flowers, making it a striking addition to your home or garden.
