What will you need to grow one from seed?
An organic lemon for starters.
Non-organic ones can often bear non-germinating seeds.
A pot 6 inches wide and deep, at least.
A seedling pot, 24 inches wide and 12 deep.
Soil: fertile planting soil. Peat is good. So is perlite, vermiculite, and natural fertilizers, according to recommendations.
A sunny spot, possibly near a lamp.
How to do it:
Moisten the soil, get it damp (not wet wet). It should be damp throughout. Use this soil to fill the smaller pot. Cut your lemon open and take out a seed — remove the pulp from off the seed. You can suck the pulp off. Plant in the moist soil, about an inch deep. Spray the soil that lies above the seed with water from a spray bottle — gently.
Now cover the pot with saran or plastic wrap and seal the ends around the pot with a rubber band. Poke some small holes in the plastic cover. Place in the sun.
Don’t let it dry out, and don’t wet it so much it forms puddles. Keep it moist.
Take the cover off when the sprouts start in around two weeks. It needs 8 hours of light every day. Keep you plant safe from diseases and bugs. Younger plants need more water, but not too much — don’t drown it.
Replant or plant outdoors in a larger pot when you need to.
