Adenium Ara Fireball Black Materials Needed:
- Adenium seeds
- Seed-starting mix (a well-draining mix, often a combination of perlite, vermiculite, and peat)
- Seed trays or small pots
- Plastic wrap or a humidity dome
- Water
- A warm, bright location (a grow light or sunny windowsill)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Preparing the Seeds:
- Purchase fresh adenium seeds from a reputable supplier. Fresh seeds have a higher germination rate.
- Soaking the Seeds (Optional): Can sow direct in LOW ec cocopeat also
- Soak the seeds in lukewarm water for a few hours to overnight. This can help soften the seed coat and promote faster germination.

- Fill your seed trays or small pots with a well-draining seed-starting mix. Ensure the mix is moist but not waterlogged.
- Planting the Seeds:
- Place the seeds on the surface of the soil and press them lightly into the mix. They should be just covered with a thin layer of soil.
- Space the seeds adequately if planting in a tray, or use individual pots for each seed.
- Providing Humidity:
- Cover the trays or pots with plastic wrap or a humidity dome to maintain high humidity levels.
- Place the covered containers in a warm location with temperatures around 30-35C. Adenium seeds need warmth to germinate.
- Light and Water:
- Once the seeds have sprouted (which typically takes 7-14 days), remove the plastic cover.
- Place the seedlings in a bright location, such as a sunny windowsill or under grow lights. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of light daily.
