- Growing citrus trees from seed is very easy. The germination process is fast and it is fun seeing your little citrus tree grow.
You can use any kind of citrus seeds you have: orange, tangerine, lemon, grapefruit etc. In this video I have grapefruit and lemon seeds and I also show you how the germinated tangerine seeds look like.

I meditate for 5 minutes for everyone who donates in order to live in health, abundance and Love. 🙏 ♡
In the video I show you the whole process of germinating citrus seeds. I use the wet paper towel + plastic container method.
Before germinating the seeds I remove the outer shell from around the seeds. This helps the seeds to germinate faster.
After the seeds have germinated I plant them into normal potting soil that I mix with some perlite. I water them when the soil starts to get dry out.
☆ How to germinate citrus seeds - The process ☆
1. Collect the seeds and wash them well.
2. Put the seeds into luke warm water for a day.
3. Peel off the outer shell (use a cloth or paper towel to remove the remaining fruit flesh from the seed if it is too slippery).
4. Put seeds into clear plastic container, onto wet paper towel and close the container.
5. Keep the seeds warm: put the container into a warm room or on a warm surface.
6. Wait for the seeds to germinate. Once the roots appear plant them into soil.

This is exactly the introduction to germinating and growing citrus trees that I was looking for. Thank you so much.
I did this and now my plant is 12" . So beautiful, but I will put inside next week , because it can die in cold weather
I tried to germinate 6 lemon seeds. The only seed that has become a really nice tree was the tiny, chipped seed. You were very right that it can still grow :)
Indeed, I planted all the seeds - It did not matter for me. And all are growing the same.
@Richard Jimenez she said it helps speed up the process (referring to the other comment). No it's not necessary, but it's definitely quicker putting seeds in water for 24hrs first.
@Richard Jimenez Did you soak and peel the outer shell from your seeds? I ordered some Meyer Lemon tree seeds from Amazon snd I want to give them every chance to grow successfully. Thank you.
@Richard Jimenez and her pointbwas it speeds up the process. You can't talk about "let it grow naturally " when you yourself are using potting soil. Lol
I grew two lemon trees from seed. They were 7 ft tall in 4 years . They had rich green leaves. No blooms yet. But I had to sell them. I got $100 for each one. I miss them !!!
Haha, you might’ve sold them lemon trees that will never produce fruit. Only time will tell, but fruit trees are notorious for creating rootstocks that don’t bear fruit, or bear very different fruit than the parent. Props on the entrepreneurship though!
Only 7 ft did you give them any nitrogen
@@awieloubser6016 they were in pots. They were limited
They were going to bloom !!!!!
im sorry u lost ur trees
thank you for sharing my wife home school my daughter's and they have a garden class and they watch y'all videos for study this is great thank you so much my kids learned so much thanks to my wife and your videos
+Stak Amillion I feel honored that your family is watching my videos to learn. I hope they will have many successes and that they also get lots of joy from gardening. I wish you all the best and happiness for your daughters and to your wife as well.
Make a video of how to grow a coriander seeds
Tried this without removing outer shell and it worked fine. Thanks
aww, those seedlings are so cute, I can almost hear them calling you mommy haha...
Aww, that is cute. 😊
After germinating my own guavas in March my oldest daughter saved some mandarin seeds to try grow her own. It was pure guess work with the guavas so I thought I should probably look up how to do it properly after watching my mother in law try the paper towel method and fail. I wouldn’t have thought to let them dry first and then soak! My daughter is very excited to watch her seeds germinate and grow. Thanks for this informative video!
Your hands are so beautiful and well manicured. I'm jealous. (The video was great, too.)
Oh, thank you! :)
Oh, indeed! The Dear Lady's Hands are truly Pretty for Little Gardner, and She's got a Beautiful Heart in Her Voice. I wish to thank Her with total Due Respect for this detailed information. I am truly grateful! Thanks a lot!
Simppppp
@@noobtify TRUUEEEEE
Wtf…
I want to thank you! Because of this video I started two grapefruit two orange trees unfortunately one orange tree passed and the grapefruits passed but I have got a very beautiful orange tree that is now coming up, so thank you again for your wonderful advice it works wonderful
Hi
Great video, I've got six orange trees growing now after seeing this vid.
To remove the outer skin I just nipped off the pointed end of the seed with nail clippers and then they were easy to peel.
Beautiful explanation! Last year I was focused on avocados and now I have about 10 little plants. I love them. So this year I'm focusing on citrus trees. Thank you for the video:)
i just have to tell you! my orange seeds are germinating! wish you could see me do my happy dance! will definitely be doing the lemon seed! thank you sooo much!!!!!👍
Yaay!! Great! I am so happy for you!! :) Keep me please updated (if you would like to) how they are doing.
Little Home Gardener absolutely i will let you know! :-)
Little Home Gardener how do you know if it germinating
@@miriamrodriguez7977 You will see a small tail coming out of them
@@p.c.6706
How did it go for you?
This video may have taken a bit of time to get through, but you have given me all that I need to try and germinate my own clementine tree. I look forward to using these techniques to grow my own tree. Thank you.
+Shawnaayy Rix Hi! Thank you for watching the video! Good luck and have fun germinating the seeds.
Thank you this was an amazing tutorial in the first 2 days I had 3 out of the 10 tangerine seeds germinate
This was really nice . I already have two orange plants , which i germinated my self , and they are looking so pretty . Now , gonna try the same with lemon. Thanks for the tip about put the seeds first in warm water . I didt know that. Success with everything.
Very nice I love seeds. What a beautiful blessing and gift God has given us. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for the tutorial! I didn’t know the step where you should remove the outer shell. 🍊🌱🌱🌱
You shouldn't. It will take longer to germinate. It's a completely unnecessary step and a waste of time.
Thank you! After watching many videos - You stated that it's the ROOT that first emerges! Now I know to plant Root down.
Another process that worked well for me is to do the same process but instead place in moist soil. Wrap the top with Saran Wrap and place in sunny area. Like paper towel this creates a greenhouse effect. Cheers
I just did that with my lemon seeds today. Im so looking foward to their germination😍
You should be a hand model!
Thank you for the video. I have some seeds from Seville Oranges and now know who to germinate them!
Thanks for trying to make yourself understandable, I know English is not your first/native lingo, I understood you every step of the way...keep it up! I enjoyed the vid and will follow your instructions carefully.
Good luck germinating the seeds!
Great video! The leaves on your plants there look so healthy, clearly the compost mix, care and environment suit them. Well done!
Thank you random lady on yt. I love clementine in the winter and now I will grow my own!
I have watched several videos on this topic, and yours is by far the most helpful. Thank you!!
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you mam. Your patience in explaining and teaching, as well as the handling of the seeds and entire programme is awesome. God bless you🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much!
Like, Love your calming voice though! Keep the great work up. Your plant garden will grow perfectly with your delicateness, And Gods power
Thank you!
Very Good video,You Explained Things very well.
Thank you. 🧡
Thank you - your gentle advise . We can all make a new good .
For everyone wondering if this actually works, it does! I definitely do not have a green thumb but my seeds germinated after just a few days. I’m going to wait for the roots to grow a bit longer and will then put them in soil.
This is such good advice, and it works! I now have 4 clementine seedlings to transfer to pots and can’t wait to see how they’ll grow!
I now come home and find my partner leaves other fruit seeds to one side for me to germinate. Thanks for sharing!
I’m curious, have you had any tasty fruit from any of your trees yet?
Thank you for the video. It is well done. I am excited to grow kumquats from seeds I kept from fruit I ate in China!
You've got yourself a new subscriber, thanks for your informative video.
Hi and welcome! 👋🏻
Thank you so much! Ive always wanted to grow tangerines, but never knew how to! Your channel helped a lot!
THIS WAS A COOL CLIP. I LEARNED SO MUCH. THANK YOU.
I’m doing this as a side project since it’s near the end of summer thank you for the help
Alright I’m gonna plant it now
I germinated around 30 seeds. Almost twenty of them sprouted! I just transferred them today
I've had no success with growing from seed, now I know why! Thanks for this.
I hope you will be successful growing them from seeds next time. Have a great day!
@@littlehomegardener Well I tried your method and they been in the container for 4 days. I checked this morning and we have sprouting!!
And 3 months later, I've grown 8 plants, 4 have found new homes with friends.
OmL it actuall works wth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tysm your video is the best and most informative that I have ever seen on this topic
I am germinating my first Clementine seed today, I followed the exact same steps.
Thank you for your help.
The first attempt wasn't successful. I tried again but this time with cotton instead of napkins, all of the seeds have grown up.
I have tried it and all of my seeds have germinated, thank you very much🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I am glad they all germinated. 🙂
Thank you for the video! ❤️💕 I’m a beginner to gardening, so I have a few questions:
1. Once you put the seeds in the container, do you need to keep respraying them so they stay moist? If so, how often?
2. Is each seed suppose to be its own tree or are you suppose to plant them together in soil? (For example, if you terminate 3 seeds, and only 1 is ready to plant, do you keep it in the container until the other seeds are ready or do you plant that one and when the other seeds are ready you add them to the same soil, or should each seed be planted in its own pot?
I’m sorry for the silly questions 😅
Hi! Thank you for watching the video!
1. Yes, you spray it as often as it is needed, keep them moist.
2. You plant them individually, one into each pot.
Thank you very much !! Wonderful explanation, step by step and easily understandable
Thank you for explaining this clearly.
Excellent video. Many thanks to you for your help.👍
Thank you so much. I tried planting some bitter orange straight in the soil without peeling the shells and they didn't grow at all. Now thanks to you, I know what to do.
I wish to thank Her with total Due Respect for this detailed information. I am truly grateful! Thanks a lot!
You are welcome! I am glad if the video is helpful to you.
what a beautiful video..i like the way she illustrate in & how she makes it very simple
Thank
you for your lovely presentation. Your voice and hands are very pretty too. I am inspired!
I love your tutorial, there's so many useful tips and very detailed explanation. I'll try this tomorrow~
Thank you so much and good luck!
Thank you for this very detailed video. Now I feel confident about planting a second batch of tangarine seeds. I'll be following your method. 😊
Thank you for this very valuable information. I will save this video.
Interesting video thanks! On an unrelated note you have the most beautiful hands I have ever seen!
Thank you, thank you! I didn’t know to remove the outer shell, now to try again. I’m hoping to have some trees next year!
Nice one. Thanks. I will try. Love from Serbia
Good luck and thank you for watching the video!
I can’t wait to try this. I usually find the seeds all the time but now I’m looking for them I can’t haha thanks for tips😀
I hope you will soon find some seeds! 🌱
Thank you so much...i never had any luck until last yr when my daughter and i stuck avocado seeds into shotglasses of water to try to get it to germinate and they did however we did not have any room oh 2 avocado seeds once germinated and roots were plentiful we planted them in quart containers where they grew quite rapidlt almost 4 feet tall...when we went to hawaii we bought 2 huge we thought were some tropical fruit but nope they were the size of a grapefruit ..
Thank you so much for showing this way to germane citrus. I have Pummelo grapefruit that I just love so I am going to try this method on the seeds. 🙏🏼
Thanks for your efforts.
Hello I’m 20 and just started watching you. Thankyou soo much for teaching me soo much about plants also pleeeeese can you do a video on how to deal with plants in a hot climate. Thanks soo much man you r a TH-cam great
I’m inspired after watching your video. Thank you
Ur citrus trees are all beautiful!
Thank you for making this video, I will be trying your method. Keep up the great work.
Thank you I took some lemon pops yesterday and for some reason soaked them in water. I looked.at them.today and thought I wonder.... so on to you tube I come and found your vlog. Now I am off to germinate them. I have never grown food before but since lockdown I have grown potatoes and peas and now lemons. The positive side to covid 19
I love peas! 😁 It is fantastic that you can grow so many things at home. Good luck with the lemon seeds! 🍀
bob just gave you a shout out so i came to this video. thank you!
i cant tell you how happy i am that you are sharing this.
i have tried everything i could including peeling the pointy end a little ways down like a banana peel and even that didn't work.
i saved seeds anyway so now thanks to you i know i have hope and as a new subscriber i am HAPPY! :-)
Hi and welcome! Thank you for subscribing and watching the video! What seeds are you germinating now? Did you succeed in removing the outer shell of the seeds? They are tricky to remove and if you let the seeds soak for a few hours it will be easier to remove them.
Little Home Gardener i am going to sprout some lemon seeds for sure now.!!
i seen that bob's pineapple seeds have sprouted so now i can try mine!
i am watching your videos so hopefully i can sprout an avacado seed. i have had these in water, in soil, in a baggie of water. i have tried them in the light and in the dark but watching you i feel i have hope!
the ones in water i have tried suspending it in the water, i have tried sitting in a glass of water filled halfway up the seed. i have left the papery stuff on, i have removed it.and still no luck.
the closest i ever come is the bottom will start splitting but that's as far as i got. no root ever showed up. i tried not changing the water for a week as well as changing it more often.
then there is people like you that could just look at a seed and make it grow! :-)
i tried sprouting a mango seed once. i planted it in dirt and waited 4 months. nothing. but i did not know that the hard covering was covering a seed!
SO happy to watch you!! :-)
Good luck with the lemon seeds! I put the avocados into luke warm water. I change the water every day or when I remember, but don't let them dry out. And!! As soon as you get the seed out of the avocado put it into water. If you let it be on the air too long without water it will germinate slower - this is what I found. So immediatelly put it into water. You can clean it later if you don't have time, just let it be in the water. Once the bottom splits just continue to keep it in the water. It needs some time. I have now 4 germinating, and one grows quickly, it already has a nice root, while the other one even though it split already, there are still no roots. It can take weeks for it to grow a root, just wait for it! :)
Mangos are not so easy to germinate, once they get too much water, the other time it is not enough, they become rotten easily.
My Mom once said that I am growing the plants just by looking at them - which might be true. I like staring at them telling them how beautiful they are and then they grow. :D (But once I don't do that...)
Little Home Gardener thank you for letting me know about putting the avacado seed in water straight away and clean it later. and the warm water is definitely something i am going to try!
maybe i won't have to beg it to grow now! lol.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I am ready to plant now.
Thank you for watching and good luck growing them!
Thank you for your time and attention to detail. Video was awesome!
I just subscribed and I just took the seed coat off and then I just planted them directly in soil. Wish me luck!🌱
Bountiful Grace By Julia did it work? I’ll try later myself :)
@@wanderlust3292 I think that I need to try again, it's taking forever.
Very informative and beautiful looking trees! Thank you for sharing this. I just started / continuing a pine tree seed with this method. I believe it's either a spruce, Scots or a Douglas Fir but not certain as I found the seed on the ground just starting....the size of your germinated seeds in this video. I should do a video about it. I'm going to try and start some citrus with this method...again thanks for taking the time to share.
Thank you for the write up in the description box. Very elaborate.
Wonderfully helpful video. Every step so carefully explained. Thank you..... lovely accent too
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for watching the video! Yes, sometimes I can go into the tiny details. Have a nice day!
You explain really well. Thanks so much.I will try it!
+praizband Thank you! I wish you luck. :)
I’m gonna try this with and apple seed. Pray that it’ll grow
Im just waiting for them to sprout ... good tutorial thank you
When you’re waiting for them to germinate in a warm place, how often would you spray the towel again to keep them wet? Do you check daily or every few hours? And do you have a video of planting them in soil?
I would check them daily and only spray them if needed.
After how much time do you spray again.
Do you put them in a warm place in the dark or near light??
.."ka-nife"..how lovely sweet..tak for the upload
You are a big help, thank you. My grandkids would be excited to help me do it!
It must be fun if your grandkids are helping you.
Your dexterity is amazing
Thank you for such helpful video. I am trying to germinate some tangerine seeds, wish me luck!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I am trying to grow some mandarin trees for my garden (I live in Australia, and the climate is perfect for citrus trees.) Very helpful info! Hopefully, in a few years time, I can enjoy bountiful mandarins! Cheers from Oz!
Thank you for watching the video!
Thanks for the great video, I'll try it myself as soon as I can!
Fantastic information my seeds are just starting to grow thanks so much 😊
I enjoyed this video. May I recommend not to prune your young trees and to keep putting them in larger pots if you want them to grow into fruit bearing trees
Thank you for the recommendations!
Can you actually get fruit from these trees that are grown from seeds?? Or do you have to graft them after a certain size?? If so where can one get a cutting that's the problem I have. I was told for an avocado tree you might wait 9 to 10 years before getting fruit and might not be any good if just grown from seeds and no grafting.
Thankyou! I'm trying to make a potted garden for our rental home. So I want to dwarf one in a large pot as a small fruit hearing tree.
My last one was rotten. I have had my lemon seeds germinate not with deep roots like yours. Going to give it a shot again your plants are beautiful!
Thank you and good luck to you with the new ones!
Little Home Gardener thank you. Quick question so I don’t wait 2 weeks but only a week for the seeds to germinate?
This woman would make a good mother.
Lovely video and a great project for young children xxx
I have a white orange for hydroponic growth I am about to attempt to germinate in a grodan cube with some aerogarden fuel wish me luck! Nice 🌳
Will try this with Mexican sweet limes. Will bring the seeds from Monterrey Mexico. Love mexican sweet lime. Lima dulce.
You answered so many questions for me that I’ve been having issues with that I didn’t even know how to ask! My Kefir Lime tree is now going to be well on its way! 🥳🤩😆
I am glad I was able to answer your questions in the video. 😊
Love to watch a video
Focusing on your clementines
For are so rare to cultivate
This was very helpful. Thanks! I hope you are well.
Thank you for this video! I am looking to purchase some mandarin, and tangerine seeds because the trees and saplings sold nowadays are worth an arm and a leg.
This is super helpful, thank you very much!🌿🍋🌱🍊
I am glad it is helpful to you, thank you for watching! 💕
I will try today with my mandarin seeds, I have 5 of them. I hope they germinate!

You have such model-like hands.. with longer fingers than the palm, just right and such clear, unshown at least of cracks, skin. They look moisturized n even like they glow.
Thank you so much! I like my hands. 😁
My farm is going to grow around ten tangerine trees so hopefully this will help.
