    How to grow a citrus tree from seed

    Buy your fave fruit

    And eat it up, but keep the seeds for later.

    Keep the seeds hydrated

    Wash all the fruit off them gently. Place them onto a paper towel and add a little water. Prepare to plant immediately or keep refridgerated wrapped in the paper towel.

    Seed germination

    After about 4 -8 weeks you should see a small sprout. Leave them in the shade and keep the soil hydrated.

    Repot Your seedlings

    Once the seedlings are about 6-10cm / 3-4 tall, separate them out. Be very gentle with the roots and plant them in their own pots. Keep in the shade.

    Transplant

    Move your citrus tree into a larger pot when it reaches 1m / 3 tall.

    You got fruit

    Plant your tree in the ground for best results. Lots of sun, water and well draining soil. Lotsa fruit!
