To seed Adenium obesum 'Double Mountain Dew' (a variety of Desert Rose), follow these steps:
-
Prepare the Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination chances.
-
Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, to ensure good drainage and prevent root rot.
-
Plant the Seeds: Press the seeds gently into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space them apart to allow airflow and reduce the risk of fungal infections.
-
Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which helps with germination. Once the seeds sprout (typically in 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to prevent over-watering.
-
Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A heat mat or a bright, sunny spot will help maintain the necessary temperature for successful germination.
-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. After the seedlings sprout, gradually expose them to more direct sunlight, but avoid harsh midday sun until they are strong enough.
-
Transplanting: Once the seedlings are large enough (usually 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 Mountain Dew' seeds will grow into a beautiful plant with double-layered, soft yellow to greenish flowers, adding a refreshing and elegant touch to your garden or home.
