To seed Adenium obesum 'Double Black Madonna' (a stunning variety of Desert Rose with dark, double-layered flowers), follow these steps:
-
Prepare the Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to help soften the hard seed coat, which can improve germination.
-
Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining mix such as cactus or succulent soil. This helps prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
-
Plant the Seeds: Lightly press the seeds into the soil, about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to allow for proper airflow and to reduce the risk of fungal infections.
-
Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not overly wet. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which helps germination. Once the seeds sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid over-watering.
-
Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A heat mat or placing the seeds in a sunny, warm spot will help with consistent temperature for germination.
-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. After germination, gradually expose the seedlings to more direct sunlight, but avoid intense midday sun until they are well-established.
-
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 'Double Black Madonna' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with unique, dark-colored double flowers, adding an elegant and dramatic touch to your garden or home.
