Meyer lemon is the only lemon that is the best one to grow both indoors and outdoors. But if we want our lemon to germinate well in our soil, then we can choose organic lemon seed as well.
2. The next step is choosing the right soil
The right kind of soil is very important in growing the lemon. It helps nourish the plant. The soil should be pasteurized, which keeps the seed safe from bacteria.
3. Next, you’ll need a container or a pot in which to plant your lemon tree
The right kind of pot is very important for the plant as it helps in maintaining the correct level of soil moisture, and the pot should have drainage holes at the bottom. Usually, an 8-inch pot is enough.
4. You’re going to need to plant your lemon tree somewhere it can get a lot of sunlight
A plant cannot survive without photosynthesis and one of the important elements of it is sunlight. The plant should be placed in a place where it can get minimum 10 to 12 hours of sunlight.
5. The key to growing a strong lemon tree is moisture in your soil
The moisture in the soil must be perfect to support the plant to grow. If the moisture is too little, the plant will dry out and if it is too much then it will rot the seed.

6. The next step is to get a lemon seed
The seed must be dipped in cold water in order to remove all of its juices and pulps. If they are not properly removed then it can rot the seeds. Then the seed must be kept moist until it is planted.
7. Plant your seed in the soil about a half inch below the surface
The position where you place the seed is very important for the nourishment of the plant. After doing so, we must spray some water on the top layer of the soil to make it moist.
8. The next step is to cover your pot with breathable plastic
This is a very important step for the plant to grow properly. After you have covered the pot with a kitchen wrap, make some holes in it and place it somewhere where it will get a lot of sunlight.
9. If you’re successful, you should see a sprout begin to make its way out of the soil
Once the sprout comes out; you should remove the plastic and then place the pot under sunlight.
10. Take good care of your seedling
You must make sure that it gets a lot of sunlight, the soil remains moist, keep using pesticides to protect it from bacteria and in a few days, you will get the result.
11. Now all you have to do is keep your tree healthy
To prevent all your efforts from going to vain, you must take good care of it. Vermicompost or regular compost work best to keep your plant healthy.
12. You should continue to water your tree
After the plant has grown into a tree, it should be fed with fertilizers which are high in potassium. It should be watered daily and once a while a solution of Epsom salt should be given.
