Step 4: Planting the Seeds
1. Choose a Pot Select a small pot with good drainage and fill it with a light potting mix. A mix designed for citrus or seed starting works well.
2. Plant the Seeds Make small holes in the soil and plant the germinated seeds, root side down. Cover them lightly with soil and gently pat it down.
3. Watering Water the soil thoroughly but avoid making it soggy. Keep the soil consistently moist.
Step 5: Care and Maintenance
1. Sunlight Place the pot in a sunny location, such as a windowsill, where it can receive plenty of direct sunlight. Lemon trees love warmth and light.
2. Watering Water the seedlings regularly, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged.
3. Transplanting Once the seedlings are a few inches tall and have developed several leaves, they can be transplanted into larger pots or directly into your garden if the climate is suitable.
Growing a lemon tree from seed is a fun and gratifying experience. With patience and care, you’ll soon have a lovely lemon tree of your own, ready to brighten your home and provide fresh, home-grown lemons. Happy gardening! 🌳🍋
