How to plant fruit seeds? Detailed planting methods and steps

After eating the fruit, keep the seeds and wash them clean. Soak them in clean water for 1-2 weeks, then take them out and let them dry once they sprout. Then dig small holes in the prepared potting soil, plant the fruit seeds with the sprouted part facing up, and sprinkle an appropriate amount of water.

1. What fruit seeds can be planted?

1. Lemon

Lemon, also known as ningmeng, yangningmeng, yimuguo, etc., is a small tree with few or nearly no thorns on the branches, dark purple-red young leaves and flower buds, and small, ovate seeds with pointed ends; the seed coat is smooth, and the cotyledons are milky white, usually single or with multiple embryos. The flowering period is April-May, and the fruiting period is September-November.

2. Apple

Apple is a plant in the genus Malus of the subfamily Maloideae in the Rosaceae family, and its tree is a deciduous tree. The flowering period is April-June, and the fruit ripens from July-November.

3. Longan

Soak the longan pits left after eating in water for one week, and remember to change the water every day. Then place the seeds in a flower pot with the sprouting point facing up, and spray water on time.

4. Pomelo

Also soak the pomelo seeds in water for a while, remove the hard shell, and set them aside for later use. Choose a flower pot, put in relatively soft soil, then place the seeds in the soil with the small end facing up, cover with a thin layer of soil, and then place some stones on top to finish.

5. Mango

After taking out the mango seed, cut open the hard shell, keep the embryo inside, and put it into water. Take out the embryo and half-bury it in the substrate, paying attention to keep the head facing down. Then place the flower pot in a well-lit, warm, and humid place, and you can wait for it to sprout and grow.

2. What should be noted when planting fruit seeds in pots?

1. Time

Generally, it is done in spring. Spring is neither too cold nor too hot, making it a good season for sowing and allowing the plants to grow better.

2. Freshness

Be sure to ensure the seeds are fresh, otherwise planting them will be useless and they will not sprout, so when sowing, be sure not to use seeds that have been stored for a long time.

3. Soil

The most basic requirement is to ensure the soil is breathable and loose and does not hold standing water. Another point is that the soil must not be compacted or barren, and there must be no debris in the soil, so that the seeds we sow can sprout well.

4. Covering

After sowing, you only need to cover the seeds with a little soil. Do not cover them with too thick a layer of soil, so as not to affect their sprouting. Just cover them with a thin layer of soil on top.

No matter which fruit seeds are used for planting, they generally need to go through soaking to promote sprouting, so everyone must remember this.
