First of all, you need to pre-moisten the earth in the pot.

To do this, pour some of the soil into a bucket and add water until the soil is moist.

Then moisten the container and fill it with soil. Don’t forget to leave a few centimeters without soil at the top of the pot.

Cut the lemon and choose the seed that you think is most lively. Then, suck the seed until the lemon flavor has completely disappeared.

The seed must remain moist to germinate. You have to keep it in your mouth until you put it in the ground.

Plant the seed about ½ inch below the ground, cover it with soil and water gently with a bottle or sprayer.

Grow a lemon tree while protecting it

First, cover the pot with breathable plastic that will help keep the seeds warm and moist.

You can use plastic wrap (cling film) or a light-colored garbage bag with a few holes in it.

So, don’t forget to put the pot in a warm place where sunlight enters. It is important to check frequently that the soil does not dry out completely.

Keep in mind that excess heat or humidity can cause seed rot, so it’s good to balance these elements.
After two or three weeks you start to see the shoot emerge from the ground.

At this point you will have to remove the plastic and place the small plant where the sunlight reaches it directly.

Finally, remember that you need to start caring for your plant every day.

It will therefore be necessary to give it water, sunlight and organic fertilizer.
