How to Grow a Lemon Tree from Seed: I Share a Path (Page 2 ) | June 28, 2025

PLANTING SEEDS
Fill the pot with soil, leaving a small distance from the edge. Plant the soaked seeds to a depth of about 2 cm and lightly moisten the soil. Cover the pot with cling film with small holes for ventilation and check the soil moisture by moistening it regularly. Expect sprouts to appear in two weeks.

PLANT CARE
Lemons should be watered moderately – once a week to avoid waterlogging. Ventilate the room or use a fan to mimic the natural environment. Fertilize regularly with formulations containing nitrogen. Pollination of fragrant flowers can be done manually to increase the chances of abundant fruit set.

GATHER
As a rule, the first fruits of the lemon tree appear three years after planting. In the case of large fruits, it is recommended to thin the peel and remove 2/3 of the young lemons. A ripe lemon is bright yellow and soft to the touch, and the harvested fruits can be stored for up to 2 months.
