Take a small container, like a yogurt cup, and fill it with damp cotton wool. Place the seed on top of the cotton wool and let it rest for at least a week. After about 7 days, the seed will give way to a small sprout.

Continue to keep the cotton wool moist and create a humid environment to further encourage the growth of your little sprout until it develops roots. At this point, transplant the seed into a small pot, using a mixture of potting soil and perlite to ensure good drainage of the soil. The sprout will require constant care, such as a well-lit location, heat and protection from drafts. Make sure the soil remains constantly moist and wait for nature to take its course, eventually getting a lemon seedling that will give you delicious fruit.

 

 

Additionally, lemon seeds can be used to create a drawer and cabinet freshener. After washing, citrus seeds retain their natural scent for a long time. You can place them in a canvas bag and use them to scent drawers, closets, or even rooms like the bathroom. If you place them on radiators during the winter, they will release a pleasant lemon scent. Now you have several options to make the most of the seeds of this citrus fruit with countless qualities.
