Instructions: How to grow a lemon tree from a banana.

If you want to have lemons available at home, without having to buy them regularly, you can take advantage of this method that allows you to grow fruit from a banana. To do this, you need lemon seeds, which you can easily get from purchased lemons.

Cut the lemons in half and extract their seeds, place them in a glass of water and mix several times. This step is to clean the lemon seeds. Once this is done, they should be removed from the water and dried with absorbent paper. The seeds are ready to be planted in the banana.

Then take a banana, without removing the peel, and cut it into portions. Poke holes in the peel of each piece of banana so you can easily insert the seeds into the fruit. At this point, the banana with the grafted lemon seeds should be placed in a vase. You dig some in the ground, then insert the banana and finally cover it with more soil on top.

After about 5 days, you may start to see new seedlings. After these days it can be seen that plants have indeed been born by pulling out the banana segments. As the days go by, the plant will continue to grow, so it will need more space. You can place the segments in pots individually and in larger pots to allow them to grow properly.

After a while, following the care of the seedlings, you will begin to see the first flowers, which take the name zagare and then the first fruits. Collect them and enjoy your creation!
