Introducing Adenium Obesum 'Desert Rose' Seeds, a succulent caudex plant with a thick trunk that produces beautiful pink and white blooms. This beginner-friendly seed is the perfect project for all gardening levels!
We recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
Store these seeds in a cool, dry place if not planting right away. It is recommend to plant them right away, the longer they are stored, the lower the germination rates will be.
Sow these in moist potting medium, cover with a humidity dome and keep consistently >70F and out of direct sunlight(grow lights or indirect, filtered sun is ideal).
Once sprouts pop up, you can remove the plastic cover and ensure that the growing medium remains moist. You can start to lightly fertilize the seedlings with liquid fertilizer on a weekly basis, switching to a once-a-month basis during the growing season for adult plants.
