Adenium Obesum Double Sunstar

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Double Sunstar' (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 and improve germination rates.

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

3. Plant the Seeds: Press the seeds gently into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space them apart to ensure adequate airflow and room for the roots to develop.

4. Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid over-watering. Mist the surface to maintain humidity, which aids in germination. Once the seeds sprout (typically within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to prevent excess moisture, as Adeniums prefer drier conditions once they are established.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once the seeds sprout, gradually expose the seedlings to more direct sunlight, but 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 your garden once the weather is consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Double Sunstar' seeds will grow into a striking plant with beautiful triple-layered flowers, adding a vibrant and colorful touch to your home or garden.
