How To Grow A Lemon Tree From Store Bought Lemons (Seed To 3 Years Updates) 

Right??? The way someone else told me was to leave as is right out of the lemon nd to soak for an hour then stick in a bag for a week😡 I wasted a week of waiting for nothing

Wonderful 👏 it’s so much fun 🤗

That’s wonderful. Keep me updated on your progress.

i just planted them as they are, but my next project is to do exactly what you shared.....Thumbs up!

Thank You for stopping by.

You are very welcome

Mine, which I started in February under a grow light, is only about 6 inches tall today. This is after I left it outside on the sunny side of the house all summer. I have it in regular potting soil. Should I make the soil half sand-half potting soil?

Hey Lyn, what a lovely comment with a lot of great questions. First of all, if you buy a good potting mix for veggies you should be fine, the trees take about 5-15 years to bear fruit. When the lemon tree starts to flower, just use a fine brush or cotton tip and touch each flower with the tip (if you grow it indoors) - If it is outside, the wind and bees will do this for you! The lemon tree I have, havent been infected by any serious pests or fungus. I usually just water when the surface of the potting mix or soil is dry. But if you want to get rid of insects there is a lot of producs out there to help you out in case you get into trouble. If fungus appear on fruit I would not eat it, when fungus start to form, there is usually spores that goes into the fruit that you cant see. I hope it helped with some of your questions, just get started you wont regret it! :D

Thank You 🙏

Valerie Sanchez: It's funny that you said, "They take too long to germinate" I'm an A.D. D. type person and had to change my perceptive. I'm 70 yrs old in a couple months, but I still plant stuff I'll never get to see grow to where I can eat the fruit, Reason why I do it is to give the next generation of people beautiful fruit trees they can enjoy. . I say; why not? If anything, watch it grow.......M.C.

If they’re in the house you only water them about once a week. If they’re outside it’s usually twice a week. You wait until their soil is completely dry before watering them. I usually change their pots about once a year. When they’re little sometimes twice a year. It all depends on how fast they grow. Lemon trees start to get lemons when they’re three years old. It’s usually around December.

Takes years but you will

My lemon fruit is 1 year old and it’s like bigger than this. It will produce fruit in 2 year or 3 and every year it will grow bigger and produce more fruits. GIVE THEM SUNLIGHT!

From seeds it takes years, need grafting

Yay!

Same this is what has happened to mine

There’s a lot of factors that could be involved. What season are you in? Is it sunny where you’re at? Did you use fertilizer for them? Did you watch the video because it talks about the soil citrus likes. they like more than just potting soil. They like well draining soil.

@@urbanchickadoodle6004 thanks @Urban Chickadoodle I’ll get to work on them things

I've just done a video on lemon trees too!Urban Chickadoodle is exactly right with the soil requirements! Plus.. they tend to slow down after germinating and getting their first few leaves. Make sure to give them plenty of sunlight and resist the urge to over water them ❤ Loved this video! ❤

thats exactly what happend to mine! they are'nt growing anymore! also my saplings are 2 month old but they are just 1"'

Yes they like tropical places as long as their roots can drain.

@@urbanchickadoodle6004 thanks a lot!

I mix a little peroxide with water and mist it with that. Hope this helps

Rocks in the bottom of any house hold plant gives plants room for water to drain before root rot starts and allso creats room for the roots to get oxygen

You planted a demon, not lemon. Common mistake

Glad you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful day.
