YOU CAN GROW YOUR OWN LEMON TREE FROM SEED
Growing your own lemon tree from seed might not be as difficult as you think. Try making it a fun family event where you can grow your lemon tree together. Check out the itemized list of what you will need to begin below.
⢠Buy an Organic lemon from the grocery store.
⢠You will need a 6-inch x 6-inch planting pot.
⢠You will need a bag of potting soil that contains peat, perlite, vermiculite, and natural fertilizers.
⢠You also need a growing location in your home that gets at least 8 hours of sun each day, or you can supplement with a growing light.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Fill a small planting pot with potting mix, leaving one inch of space from the rim.
2. Moisten the potting soil until it is damp, but not soaked.
3. Get a lemon seed from your Organic lemon, removing all pulp from the surface.
4. Plant immediately while it is still moist, about 1/2 inch deep in the pot.
5. Spray the soil gently with a spray bottle, but avoid soaking it.
6. Cover the planting pot with clear plastic wrap, put a rubber band around the edges to seal, and poke a few small holes in the top.
7. Place your planting pot in a sunny, warm location in your home.
8. To prevent the soil from drying out, spray water on it each day, but avoid overwatering.
9. In about 2 weeks, your little lemon tree seedling will emerge. Remove the plastic to ensure it receives 8 hours of light each day, or supplement with a grow light.
10. Keep the soil moist and apply a dose of organic fertilizer mixed into your watering solution every two weeks.
11. Once it outgrows the small planting pot, you can put it into a larger 24-inch-wide x 12-inch-deep grow pot.
12. It will take 2 - 3 years before your lemon tree starts producing fruit, but it will be well worth the effort to have fresh lemons at your fingertips anytime you want
