Adenium Single Petal ( Pink Color)

How to grow Adenium Seeds- Single Petal ( Pink Color)?

•  Submerge the seed for 1 to 4 hours in lukewarm, room temperature water, it’s just important that you don’t use boiling hot water. This will make the germination process faster for a day or two. Don’t worry if the seed doesn’t sink. Adenium seed usually floats even after sinking in water, as opposed to many other seeds.
• You can use any kind of substrate, as long as the drainage is good, coconut peat powder is ideal. Standard garden soil can do well at the beginning, but later on and during winter, it may become problematic due to poor drainage.
• A small nursery pot can serve you well as flowerpots during the first few months, and there’s no need for bigger pots. The only important thing is to cut out holes at the bottom. The depth of 1.5-2 inches (4-5 cm) is more than enough for the first few months of growth.
• First, you need to water the substrate, so it can lie down and then afterward put the seed horizontally on the soil and do not push it. Then cover the seeds with a very thin layer of substrate, do not go over 0.2 inches (half a centimeter). Water it again and be careful, as the water stream can move the seed or uncover it. Sprayers will be extremely useful for this task. Feel free to water it, until the water starts flowing from the flowerpot.
  
• Leave the flowerpot for a few minutes for the water to drain.
• Keep the substrate MOIST during germination. You can cover the plastic cup with nylon and tie it with a rubber band, to keep the moisture at a high level. This is THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP for germination as it affects the germination percentage the most. The soil shouldn’t dry until the seed germinates, and it has to be damp (but not completely covered by water).
• Uncover the nylon every day, so that the fresh air can come in. That nylon pause should last 10-20 minutes, and then cover it again. If the substrate doesn’t dry off during germination and is constantly moist, that means that you did a good job. But, if you notice that the substrate is dry on the surface, be sure to spray it a bit, because the seed shouldn’t be in a dry substrate.
•  Your flowerpot has to be in a well-lit place, but UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES exposed to direct sunlight, because the seed will overheat in hot soil, and after germination, it will burn out. The ideal temperature is up to 77 to 95°F (25 to 35°C).
• The largest number of seeds will germinate between days 3 and 5 if you’ve provided optimal conditions. If there wasn’t enough moisture or the temperature didn’t go over 77°F (25°C), germination will last longer. It shouldn’t last longer than 10 days. There are examples when the seed has germinated even after a few months, but that doesn’t happen very often.
• When the seed germinates, you can leave the nylon cover for a couple more days. Feel free to take it off later on, and don’t cover the seed afterward.
• When the seed germinates, it will usually dispose of the seed shell on the leaves on its own, but it’s stuck sometimes, and the leaves can’t open. If it doesn’t fall off in 2-3 days, feel free to GENTLY remove it, otherwise, the seedling may die off.
• During the first 2-3 months after germination, the seedlings need to be under a strong light and on a warm spot, up to 100°F (38°C), but under no circumstances should you expose them to direct sunlight. Only after 2-3 months, you can slowly let your plant get used to the sun, but first, expose it for an hour or two early in the morning or late in the evening, when the sunlight is not too strong.
