Add distinctive desert rose foliage and potential deep red floral color to your ornamental plant collection with Black Red Adenium Seeds.

Fresh Adenium seeds may germinate in approximately 5–14 days under warm, favorable conditions, although timing varies with seed freshness, temperature, and moisture. Use a clean, well-drained growing medium and follow the supplier's instructions for best results.
Flower color can vary among plants grown from seed, even when the seeds come from a named variety. The final color may not exactly match the parent plant. If consistent flower color is important, confirm the cultivar's characteristics and whether the seeds are suitable for producing the advertised traits with your supplier.
Watering frequency depends on temperature, light, pot size, and the growing medium. During active growth, water thoroughly when the medium has dried sufficiently, then let excess water drain. Reduce watering during cooler or less active periods, and never leave the roots sitting in water.
