Growing lemon trees from seeds can be a rewarding experience, and here is a guide on how to germinate lemon seeds and care for the resulting seedlings:
Materials Needed:
– A lemon and its seeds
– Seedbed
– Plant substrate (such as coconut fiber)
– Tweezers
– Earthworm humus
– Water
Instructions:
1. Remove the seeds from the lemon and soak them in water. Use tweezers to remove the thin layer that covers the seeds.
2. Before planting the seeds, gently open their upper part and lay them horizontally on a seedbed mixed with coconut fiber and earthworm humus. The proportion should be around 60% coconut fiber and 40% earthworm humus.
3. Cover the seeds with fertilizers, about 2 centimeters deep.
4. Place the seedbed in a warm and dark place to facilitate germination. Wait for approximately 15 to 20 days.
5. After a few weeks, when the seedlings have sprouted, you can transplant them to their final location.
6. Provide the lemon tree with proper care to ensure fruit production.
