The plants that we keep in our houses are generally effective in decorating rooms and purifying the air. We usually choose plants based on their colours, 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 will explain how to germinate lemon seeds in a cup to have a plant that decorates and perfumes your entire home.

To start, you will need lemon seeds and you have two options:
You can take the seeds from the next lemon you use in your kitchen, or you can buy them. If you choose the first option, let them soak for a while to remove the skin that covers them.
So you should get a cup of around 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 will also depend on the care it receives.

How to care for a lemon tree
The lemon, like all citrus fruits, needs specific care. Below we offer specific care to keep it indoors.
Floor
Make sure the ground is permeable and well ventilated. The lemon needs a lot of water, so the soil must be able to absorb it.

Temperature
The lemon tree is very sensitive to cold, but that is not a problem since you keep it indoors. The ideal temperature for lemon plants is between 15 and 25 degrees.
Water
Humidity is another very important factor. Lemons need a lot of water, which must be poured slowly to avoid stagnation. Always keep the soil moist.
