Eat a lemon, save the seeds, and grow your own lemon tree. It sounds simple, but there are a few important things you should know first. 🍋👇

Step 1: Save and Prepare the Seeds

• After eating a lemon, rinse the seeds to remove any pulp. Soak the seeds overnight to increase the chance of germination.

Step 2: Plant the Seeds Properly

• Use a small pot with drainage holes and fill it with well-draining soil.
• Plant the seeds ½ inch deep, keeping them spaced apart.
• Cover lightly with soil and water thoroughly.

Step 3: Provide the Right Conditions

• Place the pot in a warm, sunny location—lemon trees love sunlight!
• Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Covering the pot with plastic wrap can create a greenhouse effect to retain moisture.

Step 4: Be Patient

• Lemon seeds take about 2-4 weeks to sprout. Once they do, remove the plastic wrap and continue providing plenty of light.

Important Things to Know:

1.Indoor lemon trees will need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.

2. Your lemon tree may take a few years to bear fruit, and not all trees grown from seed will produce lemons.
3. Prune regularly to shape the tree and encourage healthy growth.
