Adenium Obesum Double Tenderly Romantic

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Double Tenderly Romantic' (a variety known for its beautiful double flowers in shades of soft pink and white), follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to help soften the hard seed coat and promote better germination.

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

3. Plant the Seeds: Lightly press the seeds into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Ensure the seeds are spaced out to allow air circulation and reduce the risk of fungal issues.

4. Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not soaked. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which is important for germination. Once the seeds sprout (typically in 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid over-watering.

5. Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A heat mat or placing the seeds in a sunny, warm location can encourage optimal germination.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light during germination. After sprouting, gradually introduce the seedlings to more direct sunlight, but avoid intense midday sun until they are well-established.

7. Transplanting: After the seedlings have grown large enough, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden once the weather is consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Double Tenderly Romantic' will grow into a stunning plant, producing double blooms in soft, romantic hues, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your garden or indoor collection.
