Adenium Obesum Double Golden Dream

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Double Golden Dream' (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 hard seed coat, which will improve the chances of successful germination.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as cactus or succulent soil. This ensures proper drainage, preventing water retention that can cause 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 allow for healthy root growth and good airflow.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not overly wet. Mist the surface occasionally to maintain humidity, which is important for germination. After the seeds sprout (usually within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid excess moisture, as Adeniums prefer drier conditions once established.

5. Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), for optimal germination. A heat mat or a sunny location can help maintain a steady temperature.

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

7. Transplanting: After the seedlings are large enough (usually within 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 obesum 'Double Golden Dream' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with stunning golden-yellow double flowers, adding a striking and vibrant touch to your home or garden.
