Adenium Obesum Double Cherry Blossom

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium 'Double Cherry Blossom' (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 hard seed coat and enhance germination.

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

3. Plant the Seeds: Press the seeds gently into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to promote airflow and reduce the risk of fungal infections.

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

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. After the seedlings sprout, gradually introduce them to more direct sunlight, but avoid harsh midday sun until they are well-established.

7. Transplanting: Once the seedlings are large enough (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, Adenium 'Double Cherry Blossom' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with double-layered, soft pink to cherry-colored flowers, adding an elegant and vibrant touch to your garden or home.
