Fresh mature seed pod contains at least 15 seeds ready for germination. I just took these pods from my plant last week.
Here's lots of info~A true beauty in the cactus world, the desert rose, or Adenium obesum, is both beautiful and resilient. Because they are so lovely, many people wonder, “How do I grow a desert rose from cuttings,” or “Is starting adenium seeds difficult?” Growing a desert rose from seed or from cuttings is not hard at all. It simply requires a little knowledge. Let’s look at desert rose seed propagation and cutting propagation.

Desert Rose Seed Propagation

The real trick to desert rose plant seed starting is to make sure that you start out with fresh seeds. Fresh desert rose plant seed will have a higher germination rate as well as germinating faster.
Begin starting adenium seeds by preparing a container with a well-draining growing medium, like a perlite [1] or sand and soil mix. Place the seed in the growing medium, just covering them with the growing medium.

Water from below daily and from above once every three days until the seedlings appear. Place the growing tray or container on a heating pad and keep the temperature of the growing medium at between 80 and 85 F. (27039 C.).

Your desert rose plant seeds should germinate in one week, if the seeds are fresh. If they are not fresh, it may take longer (if at all). Once the seedlings appear, water only from below. In about a month, the seedlings will be large enough to transplant to a permanent container.

If you are starting adenium seeds, you can expect that the seedlings to bloom in the same year, which is nice as the flowers are what makes them so lovely.
