I tried this when this video came out and now my lemon tree has grown ALOT and it has begun to start giving me my first flowers it took 4 years but it’s worth it 10/10
Omg 4 years 😂😂😂😂😱😂
YIKES-- FOUR YEARS!. Now I understand the reason behind the cost of trees at a nursery.
I like how you kept watering a pot with no sprout for four years before it sprouted
Son Goku yes I did this I tried to grow about 7 plants and most of them did not make it and and only 2 grew into adulthood’s
worth the wait
who is here during the covid-19 quarantine
Me
Meh
Me
haaaii
Yep 😂 already bored and busy with my plants
Normal People: buy fruit to eat it
Gardeners: buy fruit for the seeds
This is me!!
well i eat the fruit and then get the seeds
@†ANGÉ|† lol
i bought the lemon . sliced it cooked my salmon on top of it . then i germinated teh seeds
Ha ha so true!
😂 facts
I don't know if my comment will be appreciated but here it goes. In the mid 60's my mother grew a lemon seed in a pot of soil, with no problem,. It eventually grew to about 5 feet in height and had been upgraded in several pots as it grew. It was healthy, but it had one problem ... it dripped a gummy substance which eventually caused my mother to want to find it a new home. Since lemon trees are warm weather trees, it would not have survived being planted outside so the only way for it to survive was to find it another home. I did the adoption and I found a very nice couple with a green house that wanted it. Be careful with growing citrus plants, they may have the same problem. On the other hand, she also started a peach from a peach she ate and also potted it and it grew until it was big enough to plant in our garden. And it gave HUGE PEACHES every year.
Thank you
I LIVE IN THE EAST COAST WHERE WE HAVE WINTER.
COULD I BRING THE PLANT INSIDE???
COULD
THANK YOU , ILL TRY IT
VERY GOOD VIDEO!!
Thats sooo cool. Especially the fact that you wanted to say the tree!!!

Hello I saw your comment snd I have no idea if this is accurate or not buuuut *shrug*
So, I was talking to someone and they brought up citrus trees and said that you COULD have them in cold places and explained how! Basically, get a pot with wheels, leave it out in the warm weather and have it in during the cold weather.
Hope that helps!
I just shoved some seeds in the dirt of a regular old pot and it grew, after 2 months of growing my dog ate the sapling.
wtf
RIP sapling 😂
RIP for u I'm growing a mango i hope something wont eat my plant
@@ooforange1st881 this showed up in my notifications and my dog ate the leaves of my avocado
Liza Dela cruz lol my dad was trying to swat a fly and hit two of my avocados leaves 😭
“I’ll show you how to cut it without damaging seeds”, “the key is to not damage seeds”. Damages most of the seeds.
Hahahhahaha made me laugh so much 😂
Lmao I was about to say something similar, he first said you have to cut it in a way where you don't damage the seeds and then carried on cutting nearly all the seeds in half lmao if it wasn't now 4am I would be pissing myself
Irk I cut it in half and I didn’t damage one seed
if he cut it just a lirrle he wouldve missed the seeds, didnt learn from the first cut either lmaooo
My seed just slipped it right offf
Ive used this method to germinate many different types of fruit seeds after watching my great grandmother do it throughout my childhood. You are the first person I've seen doing this besides her. Great video. Thanks
Backyard Organics I learned this method in elementary and still use it to this day. It’s so exciting to see them grow🤗
Do you know if I can use soil from outside? Cause idk if I can get potting soul
I peeled the lemon and also germinated with wet tissue paper. When the root comes out, I put it in the soil.
Thank you. At a time when negative behavior has permeated the internet, your service is greatly appreciated. To you and all positive thinkers; happy Sunday!🎉🇬🇧🇺🇸👍🙏✋👌❤️😀
I did this 3 years ago. I'm in one of the most fertile areas in the 🌎 . It gave me beautiful juicy grapefruits in January of this year. 🍋 🍊 🍈 THANK YOU!
Where you live?
I just cut the lemon, take the seeds, Bush them into potted soil, water, and within a few days they sprout.
I hope mine sprout. I didn't peel it and I put it in sunlight
@@quandrafields5732 did they sprout ?
No I had to replant
I cut the citrus, put the seeds directly into a cup of water for a few days or more, they usually start to sprout in the water, then plant them.
Me too
I just threw the seeds in a pot I had in the kitchen and they grew. That was it! 😂
I did the same thing too and I got a beautiful tree by just putting my seeds in a pot!😊
Me too
Some people like to complicate things.
Nona Serbanescu Or start noticing an odd odor coming from where ever the plastic bag was placed then surprisedly it was the rotted content from the bag lol.
Cecilia Bonevardi how long i tooks to grow please
I tried and i managed to grow a lemon tree thanx bro
I liked a left hand men...😊
I find cutting the lemon in half then juicing it the most effective way to remove seeds.
Yeah, then use the juice as a drink
@@mjvybz together with some fresh orange juice YUM
It would DMG the seed so you need to get it by hand
I just peel it with my nails and spit out the seeds as I eat the lemon wedges. Works for me
I cut in half to get the seeds out by using a citrus juicer
Yay. Life gave me lemons and in ten years, I'm making lemonade! 🤘😂🤘
I have a lemon tree i grew and it gave me lemons after 3-4 years, the most sour lemons ive ever tried
George Corbul yes, was the best lemons ive ever had

I watched this video last spring. I did exactly what you instructed,now I have 2 little lemon trees!
THANKS FOR MAKING THIS!
Let's all grow seed in pots good for the environment keeps you busy while listening to your music good for people that feel depressed 🌹😄
I don't peel off the husk. I just soak the seeds in water overnight or a few days until I'm ready to plant. They usually sprout within a few days up to 3 weeks.... I've done it this way for oranges, ponkan, kalamansi, lime and pomelo.... They like to be watered regularly.... They like the sun, too but not when they're newly sprouted, they're babies after all. When they get about 5-6 leaves I leave them out in the sun longer... Now I have more mini trees than I know what to do with so I give them out to friends who are interested.
Normal person: when life gives you lemons, make a lemonade
Gardener: when life gives you lemons plant them
😂
I just want to tell you how amazing ur video is, I just checked my seeds from under the sink after 10 days and all 3 of them sprouted!!!!!! I am planting them in the water bottle jar now!
Thanks young man I love the video and to think thats why my seeds never worked, but now I'm so happy for you to have shown me the greatest way to start. GOD bless you always.
I've been trying to grow lemons several times by my methods (put it in the soil and let it be) and it didn't work. I tried this and now i have healthy lemon plants. Thank you!
Did it fruit?
Did you know that life didn’t give us lemons we gave lemons life (edit: I don’t even remember commenting this or what it even means probably because I commented it over a year ago but still)
FBI FBI We gave some lemons life but before humans ever planted any seeds there was some variant of a lemon plant growing somewhere
Wow so deep
It is cory of the blue. Right cody.
What about cory?
@@BigBoy-zb9jc so which came first? Chicken or Egg?
It works just the way you instructed. I had roots growing after 5 days. I am so excited it grows so fast after peeling the seeds . Thank you for sharing this . 😊😊😊😊😊
this was so helpful, i can’t wait to see my seeds sprout 😊thank you for the great advice
Yay I am not the only one who is watching in 2019
Why does it matter what year you're watching this? I don't get it.
@@planetlizz It's called begging for likes
Dog 4399 yes it is 😂😂😂😂
I’m the only one watching in 2020 tho
Don't worry your not alone
I did the same process for 4 seeds and one of them germinated. Thanks a lot !👍🤘
Thank you for showing how to plant citrus seeds. Very educating and life experience that can pass on to future generations. Many regards. DA
THX so very much for this info. For some reason I never thought of the need to remove the husk from seeds prior to attempting to root them.
Greetings from Kabul, Afghanistan! ❤
I have just done mine, let's see if they germinate 😊waiting...waiting...
Thanks for sharing the video!
I watched this video and now i have 8 lemon seeds germinating!
Nice man, I hope to get a couple of going too.
Thanks :)
Well done! I planted a store bought lemon tree and it's struggling despite my efforts. Going to give the seed method using lemons from my mother's tree a go and I'm glad for all the good results other people are getting.
I put 10 seeds in germination and all of them have sprouted, I'm gonna plant them tomorrow!! (all of them)
what kind of soil is needed for this? and month? its summer in inidia and after 2 months will b rainy
🌻I think this is the best and easiest tutorial I have come across, very clear, point by point😊 doesn't get any more simpler then that! Great job, im now germinating about 16 seeds☺thank you👍🌻
Thanks for the tip of peeling the outer seed shell. My Mother-in-law has been just putting her used lemon seeds in a pot of compost. I am going to add this step.
I used your video to do my.own and now I have a few shoots coming out of my pots! :)
I tried the experiment by leaving 1) two seeds with the outer covering, 2) two I removed all of the outer covering, 3) two I removed half of the covering and 4) two I removed 1/4 of the covering. Number three and number four: all four seed germinated on day 5. The number one both germinated on day ten and strangely enough number two, only one germinated on day ten. I potted all of them on the day I removed the coverings and planted them in identical pots with identical potting mix. (Each one of the same type shared one pot.) I put them on top of a heating pad for seedlings, inside a tray with a plastic cover. My theory is that the partial covering protected the seeds, same as the one with the intact covering, but that one took longer because the seeds had to break the covering. The first four already look like tiny little trees on day 15.
Thank you for sharing :)
Carmen Ortiz
Here's a new update as of today. The ones that I removed all the covering are now both the shortest (1/2") and the tallest (3 1/2"). The ones that I removed none of the covering are 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 inches, exactly the same as the ones that I removed 1/2 of the covering, but the smallest of the two that I did not remove the covering had a bit of damage in two of its leaves, probably trying to break the cover. The ones I removed 1/4 of the cover are 3 and 2 1/2 inch tall (The best results are these last ones, since the smallest of the two has 5 leaves already and the rest either 2 or 3.)
Carmen Ortiz
New update, the little trees that are looking the nicest are the ones where I only removed part of the skin. The others are fine but not as nice. Not including the last one to show up, from the set where I removed all the skin, it's not growing but it does have two tiny leaves finally. They all get the same care. The rest are now from 3"-5" tall. I'm planning on transplanting them to individual pots and start to feed them. In other words, you don't need to remove all the skin, just enough to make it easier for the baby to break through.
I seen this video years ago, my trees are 13-15 feet tall now :-) Thanks for the advise on peeling the seed. It drastically speeds up the germination .
I did it! I have tow 3 feet tall lemons trees planted in my yard. I saw this video and followed the instructions
M P how long does that take??
Awesome, everyone's getting lemon trees for Xmas.
So during the this times on my quarantine. I’ve germinated Lemons and I am excited to grow and fruit it! Also bell peppers, habanero peppers and avocados! Amazing! For sure in the next pandemic, In which they are saying in another 20 years or so. I am ready 😂
Wow that's so beautiful to my eyes thank you for the up load some times we need people to remind us this an Im going to get me a lemon as soon my shoes are tied.thank u honey for your upload
Thank you for your informative video. I had viewed other videos that used complicated methods to start citrus plants. They looked like way to much effort to get a seed to sprout. Yours on the other hand seemed too simple to work; however, I followed your method using 8 lemon seeds and lo and behold I had 8 seeds sprout. After a month and a half I now have 8 healthy seedlings well on their way to eventually being replanted. Your method way exceeded my expectations. I deviated from your method in one way. I planted the seedlings in peat pots and eventually will transfer them pot and all to a larger container. Once they get big enough I'll separate the seedlings into their own containers. If all the seedlings flourish , I'll keep the best 2 and give away the rest.
This is awesome.. i am moving to lyerto ruco eith the intentionad of living of my land..great video..thanks...definitely subscribed
I just soaked the seeds in water
A few hours without peeling, they are now sprouted in soil and doing well, thank you for posting this!
Vivian Villa: AFTER YOU SOAKED THEM IN WATER, DID YOU PUT THEM IN A BAG TILL THEY SPROUTED OR DID YOU PUT THEM DIRECTLY INTO THE SOIL?
@@recyclingtreasures1541 after the soak I put them in the paper towel in a bag..after about a week input into soil..I spray water in ziplock bag over plant and put in the sun, plants are almost an inch high!
@@vivianvilla598 THANK YOU. I AM MOVING AND I WANT TO TAKE SEEDS FROM MY LEMON TREE. THEY ARE SO BIG AND HAVE AN ALMOST SWEET/ SOUR TASTE.
@@recyclingtreasures1541 that sounds great! Keep me posted on how it's going..good luck😊
Thank you. I've been trying get some sprouts from some lemon seeds without any luck. Been doing it all wrong. Will do it the right way now!
i had some really good and sweet Italian lemons a few weeks ago and the person at the shop i bought them from said they won't be getting any more until the pandemic is over, so now here i am, thank you sir!
Thank you for this superb video. The content was excellent. But, what I enjoyed most was the pace of your delivery, the precision of the instruction with no wasted words; and the silences, enabling me to reflect on and absorb what you said. You are a very gifted teacher. You speak so well you should be on radio or TV! All the best!
Thanks bro i got the help from your video and 12 seeds geminated out of 14 that's pretty good
This method worked so well
I watched this video 7 days ago and planted 3 seeds yesterday. I read somewhere that it will not bear fruit but I don't care. I take pride just by growing a lemon tree from a store bought lemon. 😊🍋
Thank you so much for the tutorial! btw you have a really pleasant voice to listen to :)
Thank you. I saw your video and tried i have so many babies germinated . I hope they keep growing. Its time for them to go into soil
I have 9 growing very well out of two lemons. Thank you, peace!
I tried ur method and it worked 100 percent. Thanks for the tips !
Okay I am inspired by this video and starting of today. I have peeled 3 seeds and kept 3 unpeeled. Will wait for 10 tp 12 days and get back. We are going into lockdown because of covid 19. Plenty of time to good work.
Ah sadly it did not work out. The seeds did not germinate instead they started rotting.
Thnx a lots for this vdo now I have 15 lemon plant🌱
This guy my sister introduced me to in 1978 took the protective covering off the seed. My son is 40yrs now.♥️. Lemons are beautiful. The color, the smell. Yes.
Thanks! My dad has been trying to grow a lemon tree and it didn’t work so I tried this and now I am waiting for it to sprout!
How about not cutting, but peeling the lemon so you don't damage any seeds?
That is what I have done!!! The lemon can be sectioned
Hifaz Ahmed
or just have a lemon jus and keep the seeds
B.ernadette Bailey
yeap, it works very well. i tried it. got a bunch of seeds. soak them in water and i have several plants in a pot - distinct hights. from last winter. they grow slowly... and it all started with showing my daughter how plants sprout from seeds. :))
I remember doing this in pre school . We did it with beans so I believe it could be almost the same with all fruit. Correct me if I'm wrong ofc, Idk anything about this stuff after all. I've put 4 seeds peeled and 4-5 unpeeled. I'll be back with an update😊
Update after a week. The ones that were peeled sprouted, most of the ones that weren't ,rot. I'll say that's a success. I was looking into the soil I need, I guess soil for flowers is as good as any😊 I'll be growing strawberries too 😍
Give another update I want to know what happen next.
And I got 4 seeds not peeled and they grew pretty good
They are growing pretty nice, I accidently made 4 plants😂 from here on out is a slow process of growing I guess.. I replanted them in a bigger pot and left them be. I water them every or every other day. Strawberries finally came through as well after 2 failures😂 I hope I'll have some to eat next year 😊
How did you get strawberry seeds please tell me I would love to grow some
Bought a bunch of strawberries and used a hairpin to get seeds off of it. I recommend that you freeze seeds or put them in a fridge (I think that will suffice) before planting them. When you plant them just "sprinkle" them over some soil and let water do the "implanting". And please dont hate me I dont know the terms for this, I'm doing it cuz I'm bored 😂 good luck😊
I've been thinking of what I could use for a pot because I dont have any proper ones, you are a legend and a genius
Thank you, my lemon seeds have been successful! Growing my own lemon tree :)
i did it and wala in 9 days , i hve alrady plant it, thnk you sooooo mucht ,
*voila
Did it worked
I did in4days and got same result
hows it going after 1 year?
jennifer chung wala sounds better
I believe we are all here watching this great process.
I've actually have two lemon trees growing here in Canada...They way I did was just put the seeds into a pot I never even thought about damaging the seeds.....I worry however if I can grow in a climate such as Canada..Thank you my friend.. my two little trees are growing really nice...
My lemon tree is 3 years old and is growing great using this method. Thanks man
You could just sliced in half horizontally and squeezed it out like everyone does. Simple and easy, less possible damage to seeds
I don’t trust anyone who cuts fruit with a steak knife.
“Don’t cut the seeds in half”- Cuts the seeds in half
“Spray them once or twice” sprays them 9 times.
Bishop White buahahahhahahahah
My lemon tree is now 9 months old, growing beautifully..tiny thorns are now developing, thank you.
Thanks for this! We are leaving a rental property that has an amazing lemon tree that is heavy with huge sweet lemons every 3 months and I’ve been looking everywhere for this information since most sources say not to bother. No harm in trying.
If you have access to the mother tree, you can make a clone of it, by taking a few branches, and then have a fruiting tree faster, and it will be an exact replica, that the seed might not produce the same fruit, because citrus doesn't grow true to seed. But if ypu don't mind waiting for the fruit, this is great too 😄
My lemon sprouted super tall,thanks so much
hey just a heads up, the glass cutting board is probably contributing to your knifes getting dull
Hate glass cutting boards,set my teeth on edge and ruin your knives
& I was wondering what dolls my knives all the time! Thanks for the info
So happy I found your video . Was wonder why my seeds was taking so long to grow. 🤗
This really works! My lemon plants are growing!!
Thank you very much. I will try. If some of the people have nothing nice to say why do you even come here?
I planted 3 lemon trees from seeds. After 6 years I am still waiting for lemons to appear, although they are big and healthy. A farmer told me they now need to be grafted, which I can not do. So I feel I wasted my time. A while ago I just bought a lemon tree and it has lovely lemons.
Some regions the weather does not permit them to growing fruit.
@@renetaylor1186 Becose lenon needs grafting.You can make a plany from a seed but this is the wild lemon.You better reed some books before to watch this videos ;) I am agronomist trust me
Ruth Nisley there is always negative comments on you tube. I agree with you.
No trichinosis, nolistria, then you're ready to sell their ever lemonade, I only want €.10 of the top.😄
Thanks! My lemon is now around 15cm high, after 1-2 months
Thank You So Much!!! We waited for ten days and then they sprouted!!!
It's working after 10 days i see it sprouting...yay!!thank you
thank you so much for sharing your brilliant ideas....
Very interesting definitely gonna try this ..... watching july 2019

Coming here after two years
I was super excited when I was planting a lemon trees for the first time, it was also the fist time it actually started growing! I still have my lemon trees from those two years ago they're already so big! The process was so fun that I started planting much more fruits and vegetables now I'm surrounded by my plants all planted from seeds and I love it
Thank you so much for this video I wouldn't probably find my passion without it
please help me, after you put it in the bottle, where do you place it so its grows
@@Oxadis on sunny some sunny place ^^.... Also when the lemon tree gets bigger then you put it into bigger pot so the roots have more space ✨
I just put the lemon seeds I peeled into a damp paper and sealed a plastic bag! Fingers crossed! This was super informative 👏 ❤
Thanks for the vid!
thanks it works
I started one about three years ago. Today it is over 5 foot tall. Still no lemons yet, but getting there. Also started a couple lime trees to go with it, they are only 6 months old so long way to go. Thanks for the videos. Going to try the pineapples next!
How big do they get cause I’m not sure where to put it when it grows
Thank you soo much amazing Igonastart planting lemon because I love it
Have you got an update on what these look like now? Would be great to see the results so far!
they probly already long gone. rip. lemons are hard to grow. try hydro
Actually,he has
Need some feedback on the next stage of the lemons plse. Thank you for sharing
Why I’m i watching this i already have a lemon tree
LMAO!!!!
Only 1 Fanny?
then get the fuck out of here you idiot.
Soap same
😂
It works!! Three out of four seeds germinated... But it took nearly 15 days
Did exacty as in video and 6/6 sprouted,planted them in soil today hope they grow well.
Lel, it's funny, I've done this exact same sprouting method with hemp seeds too :3c
youtube: Want to learn how to grow a lemon tree from seeD?
4m people: yes
It really works thank you
My lemon seed germinated after 9 days😍
I so want to try this ! Thanks for the video.
I planted about a dozen Calamondron seeds straight from the fruit. After a month I gave up on them. Then around the two month mark I noticed a couple had sprouted. Good thing I didn't throw them away. This must be why he peeled the seeds?
Loved it
Great video thank you for taking the time to show us 👍🏻🙂
I rooted the seeds following your advice. Just got them planted. Let’s see how it goes.
Excellent demo
you don’t have to peel the seeds skin... I grow few lemons trees of seeds with out peeling the skin, I gave them to my friends and I grow one at my girlfriend’s house it’s a big tree now with a lots of lemons 🍋
👏👏👏what ,🤭your Amazing . Reminds me my Father. Thank You Sharing this wonderful idea!!
God Bless ! And you Family . Watching USA 🇺🇸🇵🇭
My lemon tree grew an orange hybrid and I’m trying to grow the seeds, thanks!
