3. Seedling Preparation

After some time, remove the thin membrane surrounding each seed. Then, place the seeds back in water and let them soak for 2 days. Prepare a pot by first adding a layer of clay, then adding universal potting soil.

4. Planting the Seeds

Place the seeds horizontally in the pot, burying them about 1 cm below the surface and covering them with soil.

5. Watering and Waiting

Water the pot generously and wait for the new shoots to appear. This will take about 10 days to a few weeks from the time of planting the seeds. Make sure to keep the pot indoors during the winter or early spring, or outdoors in a place that is neither too sunny nor too shaded. You can also use a small greenhouse to promote growth.

With this simple and cost-effective method, you can grow a small lemon tree at home. Just wait for the tree to grow to see the fruits appear.
