The plants we have in our homes are generally effective for decorating rooms and purifying the air. We usually choose plants based on their colors, nature, and size. Another determining factor is undoubtedly the fragrance.

Lemon is an exceptional fruit, rich in vitamins and with powerful health benefits. In this article, we explain how to germinate lemon seeds in a cup to have a plant that decorates and perfumes your entire home.

To get started, you’ll need lemon seeds, and you have two options:

You can take the seeds from the next lemon you use in your cooking, or you can buy them. If you choose the first option, let them soak for a while to remove the skin that covers them.

Then you will need to get a cup of about 250-300 ml. Fill it with soil and place the lemon seeds 2-3 centimeters deep.

The lemon seed needs about 7 days to germinate, then the growth of the plant will be slower and it will also depend on the care it receives.

How to Care for a Lemon Plant

Lemon, like all citrus fruits, requires specific care. Below we offer specific care to keep it indoors.

The Soil

Make sure the soil is permeable and well ventilated. Lemon needs a lot of water, so the soil needs to be able to absorb it.

Temperature

The lemon tree is very sensitive to cold, but that’s not a problem since you keep it indoors. The ideal temperature for lemon plants is between 15 and 25 degrees.

The water

Humidity is another very important factor. Lemon trees need a lot of water, which needs to be poured slowly to avoid stagnation. Keep the soil moist at all times.
