It will take around 10-15 days for the first green shoots to appear. When they do, water them each morning with a spray bottle. A gentle mist is all they need.
Thinning Out: If you notice the seedlings are packed too tightly as they grow, you might need to transplant a few to give them room or remove the excess.
Growth Journey: Lemon plants grow slowly. It’ll be about 4-5 months before they’re big enough that they’ll need to be moved to a larger home, like a pot or your garden.
This bit of greenery isn’t just decorative. It’s a delightful, natural approach to keeping your home smelling clean, and it brings a little piece of the outdoors inside. Plus, there’s something incredibly satisfying about nurturing a plant from seed to sprout and beyond. Enjoy the process and the fresh, lemon-scented rewards!
