Step 1: Preparing the Seeds

 1. Extract & Clean the Seeds

 • Remove the seeds from the fruit and wash off any pulp under running water.

 • Let them air dry for a few hours on a paper towel.

 2. Soak the Seeds (Optional but recommended)

 • Soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours to help with germination.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Soil & Pot

 1. Soil

 • Use a well-draining soil mix, such as:

 • 50% potting soil

 • 30% sand or perlite

 • 20% compost

 2. Pot Selection

 • Choose a small pot (4-6 inches deep) with drainage holes.

Step 3: Planting the Seeds

 1. Fill the pot with moist soil.

 2. Plant each seed ½ inch (1.3 cm) deep.

 3. Lightly cover with soil and gently press down.

 4. Water the soil lightly but avoid overwatering.

Step 4: Providing the Right Conditions

 1. Temperature: Keep in a warm place (21-27°C / 70-80°F).

 2. Light: Place the pot in bright indirect sunlight until germination.

 3. Moisture: Cover the pot with plastic wrap or a humidity dome to retain moisture.

Step 5: Germination & Early Care

 • Seeds will germinate in 2-6 weeks.

 • Once seedlings appear, remove the plastic cover and place in direct sunlight for 6-8 hours daily.

 • Water only when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry.

Step 6: Transplanting & Growth

 1. When seedlings are 4-6 inches tall, transplant them into larger pots or outdoor soil.

 2. Keep them in a warm, sunny location.

 3. Apply citrus fertilizer every 4-6 weeks for healthy growth.
