Adenium Obesum Double Stella

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium 'Double Stella' (a beautiful variety of Desert Rose with double, vibrant flowers), follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to help soften the tough seed coat and increase germination rates.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, to ensure the roots do not become waterlogged.

3. Plant the Seeds: Lightly press the seeds into the soil, about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space them apart to allow airflow and prevent fungal issues.

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

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. After the seeds germinate, gradually expose the seedlings to more direct sunlight, avoiding harsh midday sun until they are established.

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

With proper care, Adenium 'Double Stella' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with vibrant, double flowers, perfect for brightening up your garden or home.
