Customer Reviews
I planted this baby Tuesday and it’s Sunday and noticed a baby sprout 😭
I used a heat map and saran wrap 🤍
So excited to see baby grow!!
These Desert Rose babies are probably my favorites that I've grown so far! They sprouted very quickly, and around 90% of them came up. They already have plump cadeuxs and I can't wait to see them keep getting bigger!
It successfully sprouted in only a couple of days!
First time growing succulents from seed, and of the five I planted, on a heat mat, under a grow light, two have quickly sprouted into little inch high Adeniums. Not a bad germination rate, given how tricky houseplant seeds can be. Round two just went in, so we'll see if the results hold up.
Seeds arrived quickly with all the care instructions needed. 10 out of 10 germinated within a week. They are growing nicely and looking very happy!
