Adenium Obesum Hybrid 2863

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Hybrid 2863' (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, which will enhance germination.

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

3. Plant the Seeds: Press the seeds gently into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to allow for healthy root expansion and airflow.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which is essential for germination. Once the seeds sprout (typically in 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid over-wetting, as Adeniums prefer drier conditions once established.

5. Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), to promote optimal germination. A heat mat or a sunny spot can help keep the temperature consistent.

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. Once the seeds sprout, gradually expose the seedlings to more direct sunlight, avoiding harsh midday sun until they are well-established.

7. Transplanting: Once the seedlings are large enough (after a few months), transplant them into larger pots or into your garden once the weather is consistently warm and frost-free.

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Hybrid 2863' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with vibrant, hybrid flowers, adding beauty and color to your home or garden.
