Adenium Obesum Kaleidoscope

5 Seeds

To seed Adenium obesum 'Kaleidoscope' (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 and promote better germination.

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

4. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Mist the surface regularly to maintain humidity, which helps with germination. Once the seeds sprout (typically in 2-4 weeks), reduce watering to avoid excess moisture.

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

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

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

With proper care, Adenium obesum 'Kaleidoscope' seeds will grow into a vibrant plant with multi-colored, striking flowers, making a beautiful and colorful addition to your garden or home.
