What is the best method for starting Adenium seeds? I just found some that I forgot I had. I'm worse than a squirrel hiding nuts...
@DraDiana, for me, adenium seeds germinate faster if I soak them overnight or up to 24 hours. I would normally soak them in a warm cup of water mixed with a tbsp of hydrogen peroxide. This helps me identify good viable seeds (plump and healthy looking) to the unhealthy ones (thin or moldy).
This time around if you want to germinate them, you will need to supplement with grow lights. Or in my case, I can grow them on my south facing window. You can sow them in a communal pot for now (using 50% cactus mix and 50% perlite) and transfer them in individual pots in spring. I have recently experimented giving them slow release granules at 2 months and they are responding well.
with good lighting, they can grow short and plump (these are only an inch tall)
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
