Adenium Obesum Hybrid 3185

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Hybrid 3185' (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 seed coat, which can help improve germination rates.

2. Choose a Potting Mix: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent soil, to avoid water retention and promote healthy root development.

3. Plant the Seeds: Gently press the seeds into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) deep. Space the seeds apart to allow good airflow and reduce the risk of fungal infections.

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which is essential for successful germination. Once the seeds sprout (typically in 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to prevent excess moisture.

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

6. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the seeds. After the seeds sprout, gradually introduce the seedlings to more direct sunlight, but avoid harsh midday sun until they are strong enough.

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Hybrid 3185' seeds will grow into a stunning plant with unique, vibrant flowers, adding beauty and color to your garden or home.
