Adenium Emerald Braceletadenium Growing adenium (commonly known as desert rose) from seeds can be a rewarding experience. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to grow adenium from seeds:
- Obtain seeds: Adenium seeds can be purchased from nurseries, garden centers, or online seed suppliers. Make sure to choose fresh, viable seeds for better germination rates.
- Prepare the potting mix: Adeniums prefer a well-draining potting mix. You can create a suitable mix by combining equal parts of coarse sand, perlite, and regular potting soil. This blend provides good drainage while retaining some moisture.
- Soak the seeds: Before sowing, soak the adenium seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours. This helps to soften the seed coat and promote germination.
- Sow the seeds: Fill a small pot or seed tray with the prepared potting mix. Make small indentations in the soil, about ¼ inch deep, and place a seed in each hole. Cover the seeds lightly with the potting mix.
- Provide warmth and humidity: Adenium seeds require warm conditions to germinate successfully. Place the pot or tray in a warm location with temperatures around 32-38C Day time. You can use a heating mat or place the container on a warm surface.
- Maintain moisture: Keep the potting mix consistently moist but not soggy. Water the seeds gently using a spray bottle or by bottom watering (placing the pot in a tray of water and allowing it to absorb moisture from the bottom).
