From tree to scent, the magic of lemon seeds
Have you ever thought about what you could do with lemon seeds instead of throwing them away? Well, today we’re going to talk about two great ways to use these little seeds. We can help you whether you want to grow your own lemon tree or make a natural lemon scent.
Plant your own lemon tree.
You can grow a lemon tree from seeds you already have, so why buy one? It’s really not that hard! Just do these easy things:
Don’t throw away the seeds after you’ve enjoyed a juicy lemon. Use water that is room temperature to rinse them, and then dry them on a paper towel.
With care, use tweezers to remove the seed’s outer layer. There will be less trouble for the sprout to come out.
The seed should be put in a yogurt container that is full of wet cotton. For about a week, keep it somewhere warm.
There will be a tiny sprout coming out of the seed after a week. This means you’ll do well!
It’s now time to move the sprout to a pot. Mix soil and perlite together so that water can drain well, and then plant your sprout.
Plant your sprout in a warm, sunny spot. Keep the soil wet and make sure it’s not near any drafts.
It will take time and care for your sapling to grow into a beautiful lemon tree. Pretty soon, you’ll be rewarded with tasty fruits!
