Adenium Obesum Double Butterfly Wing

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium 'Double Butterfly Wing' (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 tough seed coat, which can help improve germination rates.

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

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 airflow and avoid overcrowding.

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

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once they sprout, gradually introduce the seedlings to more direct sunlight, avoiding intense midday sun until they are strong enough.

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

With proper care, Adenium 'Double Butterfly Wing' seeds will grow into a striking plant with unique double flowers that resemble butterfly wings, adding beauty and charm to your garden or home.
