How To Save Lemon Seeds
To save lemon seeds, start with several lemons.
Cut each lemon and carefully remove any lemon seed that is whole and undamaged.
Rinse the seeds, making sure you’ve removed all pulp and lemon residue.
A shriveled exterior is actually a sign that it may be more mature and ready to germinate.
Once the seeds have been harvested, they’re ready to plant immediately.
Seeds should last up to several months.
Where Can You Plant Lemon Seeds?
First, plant them as soon as possibledo not let the seeds dry out before you plant them.
Then, plant the seeds in potting soil in a seed tray.
Do not fertilize them.
Seeds should sprout within two to three weeks.
