Adenium Obesum Bright of Yellow

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Bright of Yellow' (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 help improve germination, particularly for older seeds.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent mix. This will ensure the soil drains well and prevents waterlogging, which can lead to 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 for proper airflow and healthy root development.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, but avoid overwatering. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which helps with germination. Once the seeds sprout, reduce watering slightly, as Adeniums prefer slightly drier conditions once established.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Once the seeds sprout (usually in 2-4 weeks), gradually expose them to more direct sunlight. Avoid harsh midday sun until the seedlings are well-established.

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Bright of Yellow' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with vibrant yellow flowers, adding a stunning and cheerful touch to your home or garden.
