Once you\u2019re done using the lemon,\u00a0\u00a0set the seeds aside and rinse them thoroughly<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0in room temperature water using a strainer.\u00a0Then place them on a paper towel and dry them well.\u00a0Then equip yourself with tweezers and begin to \u201cpeel\u201d the seeds by removing the skin that covers them.<\/p>\n

Then take a small container like a yogurt pot and fill it with damp cotton.\u00a0Place the seed in the cotton and let it sit for at least a week<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0.\u00a0After about 7 days, the seed will have given way to a small shoot.<\/p>\n

Continue to keep the cotton and the environment moist to make your little sapling grow more until it has developed small roots.\u00a0At this point you will have to\u00a0\u00a0plant your seed in a small pot inside which you will have to insert a mixture of soil and perlite<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0, to ensure that the soil is well drained.\u00a0Once planted, the shoot will still need care.\u00a0It should be kept in a well-lit, warm place away from drafts.\u00a0Make sure the soil is always moist and wait for nature to do its work to have a lemon tree that, once grown, will give you juicy fruits.<\/p>\n

Make a perfumer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lemon seeds aren\u2019t just used for growing new plants.\u00a0Among other things,\u00a0\u00a0it is possible to create a perfumer for drawers and cabinets<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0.\u00a0The primary procedure still requires rinsing the seeds but without removing the skin.\u00a0Despite washing, citrus seeds retain their natural scent for a long time.<\/p>\n

You can then\u00a0\u00a0place them in a small canvas bag<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0and choose to use them to scent drawers, cabinets or rooms in the house like the bathroom.\u00a0Attached to the radiator in winter, they will give off a delicious lemon scent.\u00a0All you have to do is try to choose the best way to exploit the seeds of a citrus fruit with many characteristics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
