How to Grow Lemon Trees from Seed

Method 1 of 2: Warm water and compost

Slice the lemon in half. Pick out the seeds. Just be warned––they are slippery! Use a paper towel to dry the seed, wiping off as much flesh as possible to prevent rot.

Fill a glass with warm water. Place the seeds in it and leave the glass in a warm place for a day. Get another paper towel and dry the seed. The seeds should be soaked for a day in warm water to remove the rest of the flesh from the seed.

Get a pot full of compost. With a pencil, make a hole about half an inch to an inch deep and simply drop in the seed. Cover lightly with compost.

Give the seed a water and place in a warm sunny spot. You should see a sprout in a month to two months.
Method 2 of 2: "Baggie" sprouting

Husk the lemon seeds. Peel the other white layer off to reveal a brown-colored seed.

Peel the brown seed cover off as well.

 Put the seeds on a moist towel. Don't use a wet one.

Put the damp towel containing the seeds in a plastic bag. Leave it in a warm place with lots of sun.
