Adenium Obesum Double Yellow Gold

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Double Yellow Gold' (a variety known for its stunning double yellow flowers), follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to soften the seed coat and enhance germination rates.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, to ensure proper drainage and prevent water retention around the roots.

3. Plant the Seeds: Lightly press the seeds into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to allow air circulation and reduce the risk of mold or fungal growth.

4. Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist, but not soggy. Mist the surface lightly to maintain humidity. Once the seeds germinate (usually within 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid over-watering.

5. Temperature: Keep the environment warm, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A heat mat or placing the seeds in a sunny spot can help maintain optimal temperatures for 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 strong enough.

7. Transplanting: Once the seedlings are large enough and the weather is consistently warm, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden once the frost-free period has passed.

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Double Yellow Gold' will grow into a striking plant, producing beautiful double yellow flowers and adding a vibrant, tropical touch to your garden or home.
