Adenium Obesum Cellona

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Cellona' (a variety of Desert Rose known for its beautiful flowers and compact growth), 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 improve germination.

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

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

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

5. Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). Using a heat mat or placing the seeds in a sunny, warm location will help facilitate germination.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light during the germination process. After the seeds sprout, gradually expose the seedlings to more direct sunlight, but avoid 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 obesum 'Cellona' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with striking flowers and compact growth, perfect for adding beauty to your garden or home.
