Growing Lemon From Lemon Seeds At Home Easily

Growing a lemon tree is possible regardless of where you live, because even if you live in the north, where winters are long and cold, you can still have a lemon tree in your house or garage.

Besides the health benefits their fruits provide, lemon trees are beautiful: they have interesting dark green leaves and white flowers. They also produce a refreshing and pleasant scent.

Grow your own lemon tree

If you want to grow your own lemon tree, you must have the following:

• An organic lemon, because non-organic lemons generally have a high percentage of seeds that do not germinate;
• A pot 6 inches deep and 6 inches wide;
• A seedling pot 12 inches deep and 24 inches wide;
• Potting soil with a high fertility rate. A good example of soil is soil containing vermiculite, peat moss, perlite and natural fertilizers.
• An indoor location exposed to the sun and a growing lamp.

Process to follow :

Make sure the potting soil is sufficiently moistened. Moisten it, but don’t soak it too much.

Place this soil in the pot and leave about an inch below the rim free.

Cut the organic lemon and remove the seeds. Get rid of the pulp from the surface. The easiest method is to squeeze it until it is completely empty.

Plant the seed as soon as possible. Keep in mind that the seed should be moist when you plant it in the ground. Plant it in the center of the pot about ½ inch below the surface.

Use a sprayer on the ground above. Do this carefully as you just need to moisten the area.

Use plastic wrap to cover the jar and carefully seal the edges using a rubber band. Use a pencil to create small holes in the ground.

Take the pot to the location you chose before (warm, exposed to the sun).

Use the sprayer to keep the soil moist. Don’t water, otherwise there will be too much water.

After 15 days, the germ will appear. This is when you need to remove the plastic covering. If you can’t find a place with enough sunlight, you can always use a special grow light that can replace natural light.

Keep the soil moist whenever you can. You should also make sure that the lemon tree is exposed to sunlight for at least 8 hours a day. Use smaller doses of organic fertilizer from time to time.

Make sure your plant is safe from diseases and insects. Remove dead leaves if necessary. Use pesticides only when there is no other option.

Once the lemon tree has grown enough, place it in the larger pot. The replanting procedure is more or less the same as that used for the first planting. In general, young plants need more water. Don’t forget to follow her progress and provide her with everything she needs to grow.

After a while, your own work will bring you the results – you will have your own lemon tree. Of course, you can always buy lemons at a grocery store, but all the experience you’ll get during this process will be priceless.
