Things you ll need for sowing: 1. Potting soil. I would guess that any potting soil will do;but I suggest using one with a blend of peat;perlite;vermiculite;and organic fertilizer. Every single one of the seeds I planted in this type of certified organic potting mix have sprouted beautifully;so I think it s fair to say that it works. 2. Container/pot. A container (with drainage holes) that is 5-6 deep and a few inches in diameter will be sufficient for sprouting;however;the seedling will need to be re-potted into a much larger container. Mature lemon trees prefer a container that is wider rather than deeper;so I suggest planting your seedling in a pot that is 10-16 deep and 12-18 in diameter. Your baby tree will happily make itself at home in this larger container for the next few years;at which time you may want to upgrade again. 3. A grow light or lots of sun. Lemon trees need a lot of light;especially when they are sprouting and require 10-14 hours of it each day. If you don t have a consistently sunny window (like me);get a grow light. They don t cost much and will prove their worth in healthy green foliage. Sowing instructions: 1. Pre-moisten your potting soil. Put some soil into a bucket and mix in some water until the soil is damp all the way through. 2. Fill your container with the pre-moistened soil. Leave about an inch of space below the rim of your container. 3. Plant your seed about 1/2? below the soil level. Cover it completely with soil and water well with a squirt bottle or gentle watering can. 4. Cover your container with breathable plastic to keep your seeds warm and moist. I used a piece of clear garbage bag with holes poked into it and a rubber band to securely hold it in place. 5. Place the container in a warm location and observe for the next few days. Keep in mind: your seed needs warmth and moisture in order to germinate. Don t allow the potting soil to dry out completely. Also take caution that you don t cook your seed in its little greenhouse. Too much heat and moisture could lead to a rotten seed! You re aiming to achieve a nice balance;so if you feel like the soil is warm enough without the plastic then it s probably safest to remove it. 6. In about two weeks you may notice a sprout emerging from the soil. Once it appears;remove the plastic (if it s still on) and place the little guy in a warm location with plenty of direct sunlight. Supplement sun with your grow light if needed. 7. Care for your new baby and watch it grow! Provide it with: Water: Ensure that the soil is damp at all times;especially when your lemon tree is young. Do not allow it to sit in a puddle of stagnant water though;those drainage holes are there for good reason. Sunlight. Place it in a warm sunny window where it will receive eight hours of direct sunlight each day;or supplement some sun for a grow light. Since Toronto rarely seems to get any sun in the winter;my sprouts reside in a well-lit window under the warm rays of a grow light for 12 hours each day. Food: In order to keep your lemon tree healthy and growing the soil will eventually need to be replenished with nutrients. I suggest feeding it an organic fertilizer;such as compost or vermicompost;once it has developed a nice little set of leaves. Dig a little trench around the base of your tree;fill it with compost and water it well. Or;serve it up as compost tea. Try feeding it twice a year or as needed;but do not overfeed! When it comes to fertilizing;less it best;so if in doubt;put it off a bit longer. Love: Spend some time looking at your new citrus friend. Pay attention to its growth. Feel it;talk to it;sing to it;but don t try to dance with it. Get into the habit of watching for browning leaves and checking the underside of leaves for pests. Just like us;our plants can fall victim to bugs and disease and may sometimes require some extra love and affection. With proper care;your bonsai will remain healthy;beautiful and miniature for many years to come. Since your bonsai is a living miniature tree;it will increase in beauty as it matures through the years. The instructions below are just the basics and;therefore;we recommend that you purchase one of the many fine books available on the subject.
