Grow your own lemon tree from seed
What if these tiny seeds marked the beginning of an exciting botanical adventure? Growing a lemon tree from a seed is perfectly achievable! After carefully cleaning the seed and removing its thin membrane, place it on damp cotton or directly in the soil. The first sprouts will appear after a few days, and you can then transplant them into a suitable container. With regular care, you’ll watch your own lemon tree grow , a true symbol of freshness and renewal.
A creative suggestion: sow several seeds in a spiral in a cup filled with potting soil. This arrangement encourages even root development, and you’ll get beautiful seedlings ready for transplanting.
