I- Paper Towel Germination :

The paper towel approach has made growing lemons easier than ever before:

-After removing the seeds from the pulp, give them a thorough underwater rinsing.

-Remember that not every seed will sprout, so you should collect as many as you can.

-Use a paper towel to pat them dry.

-To accelerate the germination process, remove the seeds’ white outer layer.

-Keep a 1-inch gap between the seeds and wrap them in paper towels.

-Water should be sprayed on the paper towel.

-Put it in a plastic bag now, and remember to write the date on it.

-Keep the bag out of direct sunlight and in a warm location.

-Your seeds have developed roots and are now prepared for planting after about a month.

-When the root is about two inches long, pick up a couple of pots.

-Make sure the pH of the prepared soil is between 6.0 and 7.0.

-Ensure that the diameter of your pots is around 12 inches. That is, a 20-gallon container is required.

-When the pot is ready, carefully plant the seedlings in the centre of it, half an inch deep.

-Don’t overwater and allow the surface of the soil to dry between watering
