Lemon planting steps and methods

1. Seed processing: First wash the seeds with clean water to remove the gum on the surface of the seeds, then soak the seeds in warm water overnight to allow the seeds to germinate faster.

2. Soil preparation: The diameter of the flowerpot to be planted should be 8-10 cm, the depth should be 13-15 cm, and there should be drainage holes at the bottom of the flowerpot. Pour loose, fertile, and well-drained soil into a bucket, then add water to moisten the soil and stir it evenly. Pour the stirred soil into the flowerpot, with the soil 3 cm away from the mouth of the pot.

3. Sowing: Plant the seeds with the pointed end facing down and the round end facing up. Then cover the upper part of the flowerpot with a layer of film and poke a few holes in it to maintain the temperature in the pot and facilitate the exhalation of the plants.
