Prepare seeds with 3 tricks after eating lemon?

1. Choose thick and healthy seeds from the seeds that come out while cutting the lemon. Do not take very thin or dry seeds.
2. Wash the seeds with clean water and remove the pulp completely. If pulp remains then fungus may develop.
3. If you want a quick sprout, then you can slowly remove the light outer peel of the seed with a fingernail. This makes germination faster.

In how many days will the plant emerge?

Small sprouts will start emerging within 7 to 14 days. Keep in mind that do not keep it in strong sunlight every day, keep it in light sunlight and airy place. Take care not to let the soil dry out. When the plant becomes 4–5 inches tall, transfer it to a bigger pot. Now take a pot of 8–12 inches, have good drainage and add organic fertilizer once a month. Lemon plants grown from seed usually begin bearing fruit in 2–3 years. If you want early fruits, you can also get grafting done on this plant later.
