ADENIUM SEEDS
and other seeds too
| Growing from seed offers many rewards. It's more economical, it's fun to start from scratch, and it's exciting to see the variability that seedlings produce. Every plant and its flowers will be different, especially in the hybrid crosses. If you live where there are seasons, sow adenium seeds early in the summer so that seedlings grow large enough to survive the first winter. All adenium seeds except the selfings are produced by controlled hand-pollination. Selecting both parents produces offspring that are superior to most open-pollinated seedlings. |

| Welwitschia mirabilis (W.
bainesii)
Widely accepted as the strangest plant in the world. In warm climates seeds can be sown at any season. Keep the potting medium of both seedlings and mature plants moist at all times. Welwitschia is NOT a succulent and will die quickly if it dries out. Seedlings are very susceptible to damp-off fungus during their first year. Bottom watering and use of fungicide is recommended. Sow each seed in its own pot; roots should not be disturbed during transplanting. |
