To seed Adenium obesum 'Galaxy Eye' (a variety known for its striking flowers with a bold, contrasting eye in the center), follow these steps:
-
Prepare the Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to help soften the seed coat, which improves germination rates.
-
Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as cactus or succulent soil. This helps prevent waterlogging and root rot.
-
Plant the Seeds: Lightly press the seeds into the soil, about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to ensure good airflow and prevent overcrowding.
-
Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface lightly to maintain humidity, which is important for germination. After the seeds sprout (usually in 2-4 weeks), reduce watering and allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
-
Temperature: Keep the environment warm, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A heat mat or placing the seeds in a warm location can speed up germination.
-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once the seedlings emerge, gradually introduce them to more direct sunlight. Avoid harsh midday sun until they are well-established.
-
Transplanting: Once the seedlings are large enough and the weather is consistently warm, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden after the frost-free period.
With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Galaxy Eye' will grow into a beautiful plant with unique, eye-catching flowers that make it a great addition to any garden or indoor plant collection.
