FREE: Lemond Seeds

The listing, Lemond Seeds has ended.

Lemon seed, like all citrus, have a natural dormancy period and so will require a period of cold temperature in order to initiate germination. Luckily, citrus fruits are usually pre-chilled as they are transported using a 'cool chain' system. If not, this can be overcome by placing the seed into the vegetable compartment of any household fridge and left for a few weeks. First, secure the seed into a paper towel by folding the towel it back on itself a couple of times, then place into a plastic bag or sterile food container before leaving it in the fridge.

It is possible to germinate lemon seed that has not experienced a cold period, but germination will usually be slower and not as successful.

After approximately three weeks - although they can be left in there for a month or so should they need to be – they can be removed from the fridge ready for potting on. Soak the seeds for a couple of hours or so before planting them into 2-3 inch pots. All Listia rules apply must have a verified address. happy Bidding
