The Cup Method
Lemon seeds can also germinate in a cup. Simply fill a cup with soft soil, then plant the seeds in a spiral pattern to prevent them from tangling as they grow.
The soil must always be moist. In just a few days, the lemon plant will sprout, slowly growing and filling your terrace.
Caring for the Newcomer
Sure, it’s not a child, but plants are important and require careful nurturing. After you’ve grown a beautiful lemon plant, it needs to be cared for at least five years before it bears real lemons.
In the meantime, water it every day, sometimes even multiple times a day, especially during high temperatures in summer. Also, be vigilant for any parasites that may infest the plant.
Air Freshener with Lemon Seeds
For those without a green thumb or who believe they don’t have much time for plants, lemon seeds can be used to make a lovely air freshener, as they retain their scent for a long time due to their consistency. To create the fragrance, rinse the lemon seeds under cold running water and then place them in a closed fabric bag. If you want to enhance their scent, you can add a drop of citrus essential oil. Once the bag is ready, it can be placed in drawers or a wardrobe.
A bag of lemon seeds can fragrance all the clothes in a large drawer or an entire wardrobe. Alternatively, a bag can be hung in the bathroom to eliminate or absorb bad odors, freshening up the environment. Finally, lemon seeds can also be used to make a heat pack, as these seeds, like cherry pits, are believed to retain heat for a long time. To test this, put them in a bag that needs to be heated and then use it as a hand warmer on very cold winter days.”
