It turns out there is really no need to go buy small lemon trees to plant indoors or in your backyard. You can just plant your lemon seeds from any lemon. Just select a lemon variety you like, and then you can use those seeds to grow your own.

The process is actually very simple and as your seeds begin to grow revealing the green seedlings, they will provide a very nice lemon scent for any room you place your flowerpot in. Talk about natural air freshener, smells good and is 100% chemical free too.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

• Lemons
• Small Flower Pot
• Potting Soil
• Knife
• Plastic Wrap
• Small pebbles (optional)

Cut a lemon in half and remove the plump mature seeds from it. All seeds must be rinsed in water to remove any sugar coating that may cause fungi to grow if left on the seeds. Your flower pot must be filled up to 2 inches to the top with the potting soil. Plant the seeds in a circle about half an inch deep into your potting soil, working from the center.

Moisten your potting soil, not to wet just wet enough. The plastic wrap is used to cover the flowerpot which you can place on top of your fridge until the seeds germinate. After germination, you can move them to an area that gets some sunlight. When you are ready, transfer the young lemon trees to bigger pots or outside.
