Cut the lemon and extract several seeds. Rinse them well to remove all pulp. For better results, soak them in warm water for 1–2 hours.
Plant the Seeds:
Fill the cup with moist potting soil. Plant 2–3 seeds about 1.5 cm (½ inch) deep. Lightly press the soil over them.
Create a Mini Greenhouse:
Cover the cup with plastic wrap or a transparent lid to create humidity. Poke a few holes for air circulation.
Let It Grow:
Place the cup in a warm, sunny location — ideally near a window with lots of indirect light. Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Watch It Sprout:
In 2–3 weeks, you’ll see tiny lemon sprouts emerging. Once the sprouts are strong, you can remove the plastic and continue caring for your plant.
Enjoy the Aroma:
As your lemon plant grows, it releases a light, citrusy aroma that freshens your space naturally.
