I started by choosing seeds, or rather, lemons. I bought the ones I would like to see on a tree: large and firm. I selected several seeds since not all of them will germinate, and not all sprouts will become trees. I prepared several small pots with soil consisting of 3 parts sod soil, 1 part sand, and 1 part compost. I buried the seeds 3-4 cm deep, watered them, and covered them with plastic wrap. I placed the pots on a sunny windowsill, as lemons, which come from the subtropics, love the sun. Once a week, I lifted the plastic wrap and slightly moistened the soil. About a month later, a third of the seeds had sprouted. I continue to water them moderately and spray the plants with a spray bottle every 4-5 days. I constantly rotate the pots so that the lemons are illuminated from all sides. Once a month, I feed them with a brew of mowed grass. Soon my plants will be a year old, and I have already prepared larger pots for transplanting, as this transplanting needs to be done annually. I wanted to plant the seeds directly in larger pots, but experienced gardeners advised against it. In larger pots, small lemons grow poorly and sometimes even die. “1000 Secrets.”
