Adenium Obesum Double Coral Star

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium 'Double Coral Star' (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 helps improve germination rates.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to ensure the soil doesn’t retain too much moisture, preventing 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 airflow and avoid overcrowding.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain the humidity needed for germination. Once the seeds sprout (in about 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to prevent overwatering.

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 right temperature for successful germination.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once the seedlings sprout, gradually introduce them to more direct sunlight. Avoid direct midday sun until they are well-established.

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

With proper care, Adenium 'Double Coral Star' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with double-layered, coral-colored flowers, adding a vibrant, tropical touch to your garden or home.
