Use a well-draining potting mix to avoid root rot.
Mist the soil daily with a spray bottle to maintain humidity.
Once the seedling has a few sets of leaves, transplant it into a larger pot or outdoors (if climate allows).
Variations:
Try the same method with orange or lime seeds.
Add a dome or plastic cover to increase humidity during germination.
Use a heating mat if your indoor temperature is below 20°C (68°F).
FAQ:
Q: Can I use non-organic lemon seeds?
A: Organic seeds are more likely to germinate and be pesticide-free, so they’re recommended.
Q: What if the seed doesn’t sprout?
A: Ensure the seed was viable and not damaged during peeling. Also, check humidity and temperature.
Q: Will this seedling produce fruit?
A: It may, but lemon trees from seed can take 3–5 years and may not produce fruit identical to the parent lemon.
