ADENIUM multiflorum - Sabi Star 25 seed
Family: Apocynaceae
Characteristics: Deciduous shrub 1 to 1.5 m
Sold by seed count
Adenium multiflorum is the most well-known of the South African adeniums. It blooms in winter when most of the surrounding vegetation is rather dull compared to the brilliant white, pink, crimson, red, and bicolored flowers that cover these plants when they are in full bloom.
Adeniums are adaptable to most soils, provided they are well-draining and not waterlogged.
Although Adeniums will take full sun, they prefer a protected shaded position receiving only filtered sunlight.
The native range of Adenium multiflorum extends from the dry lands of southeastern Zambia and Malawi through Zimbabwe and Mozambique to South Africa and Eswatini.
The best time to sow Adenium seed is the end of winter to mid-spring.
- Prepare the growing medium using a well-draining medium. An ideal medium is a cactus growing mix with compost or fertiliser added.
- Transfer this mixture to a clean container with drainage holes (a plastic pot works well).
- Sow the Seeds in a lightly moistened medium, placing them about an inch apart on the surface. Cover them with a thin layer of the medium.
Keep the container on a warm surface for faster germination. Use a plastic bag to retain moisture.
Water the medium from beneath the seeds daily to prevent damping off.
Only switch to watering from below once the seeds sprout (usually within 7-14 days).
Transplant the seedlings into their pots once they grow their first true leaves.
*Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty in discarding seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until conditions are like their natural germination requirements.
- All seeds must have adequate water to germinate; keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
- Customers should do their due diligence and ensure they are suited to their region.
