Adenium Obesum Double Crystal Kiss

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium 'Double Crystal Kiss' (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 will improve germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, to ensure proper drainage and prevent water retention, which could lead to root rot.

3. Plant the Seeds: Gently press the seeds into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space them apart to ensure proper airflow and room for healthy root growth.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface to maintain humidity, which is helpful for germination. Once the seeds sprout, reduce watering slightly, as Adeniums prefer drier conditions after they grow.

5. Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), for optimal germination. A heat mat or a warm, sunny location will help provide the right conditions.

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

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

With proper care, Adenium 'Double Crystal Kiss' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with double-layered, stunning flowers, adding an elegant and vibrant touch to your home or garden.
