What kind of indoor plants can be grown from a seed?

Garnet

The plant is compact: the maximum height of a home pomegranate is 90-100 cm. The pomegranate tree is loved for its abundant flowering and beautiful buds that cover the green mass. The plant needs long daylight hours and protection from direct sunlight.

The most suitable place for a pomegranate - a shaded southern window sill.

To plant a pomegranate you need:

1. get a beautiful and healthy fetus;
2. select 5 seeds, remove the pulp from them and rinse;
3. after that, the planting material is soaked for 12 hours in the "Epin" solution, which accelerates its germination.

A universal potting mix is ​​suitable for placing the seeds. A favorable time for planting seeds is November or March, during these periods it will take only 2 weeks for the emergence of seedlings.

In summer, pomegranate needs abundant watering, while in winter, moisture is reduced. In spring, summer and autumn, fertilizers are applied to the soil, and the tree needs to be replanted annually.

Medlar

The fruit of this exotic plant tastes like pineapple and apple. Having planted a medlar seed, you can harvest in 4-6 years, provided proper care and conditions are comfortable for the plant. Japanese medlar is more common and is more common in stores.

1. After buying the fruit, you need to get the seeds and dry them for 3 days;
2. then the planting material is scarified with sandpaper and soaked in warm water (if you skip this stage, it will take more time for seedlings to appear);
3. then the bones are placed in containers filled with fertile soil to a depth of 2-3 cm.

Caring for medlar involves protection from sunburn, keeping the plant at a temperature of + 18 ° C and above. In winter, she prefers a cool environment with a temperature of +5 ... + 10 ° С. The plant needs high humidity and moderate watering, fertilization 2 times a month.

Watermelon

Quite a simple growing process that even novice gardeners can do. The selected seeds are placed immediately in individual containers, since young plants are hard to tolerate the pick.

Optimum seed depth - 3-4 cm. It is recommended to put the pots on the southern windowsill, under such conditions the seedlings will appear quickly, in a week.

If you plant the seeds in April, after a month you can move the seedlings into open ground. And you can grow a watermelon at home.

Orange

Orange seeds planted at the end of February germinate in 1-1.5 months. Choose the largest seeds from a healthy and beautiful fruit, rinse them thoroughly and soak in water for 10-12 hours. After that, place the planting material in individual containers, deepening it by 1 cm.

For the comfortable development of an orange, a universal primer is suitable. Both the lack of moisture and its excess are harmful to the plant. In summer, you should put the tree on the balcony, and in winter, extend the daylight hours to 12 hours. Maintain high humidity and fertilize 2 times a month.

A wild boar will grow from the seed, which can bloom only after 10 years. And the number of fruits on it is unpredictable.

Lychee

Chinese plum - perfect indoor plant... Its development is slow, and fruiting is possible only 10 years after planting.

If you have a lychee seed, plant it ASAP.... Over time, its germination potential will be less and less. Lychee does not require a lot of space; several seeds can be placed in one container at once.

Then the plantings are covered with a film and rearranged in a warm room. The film is removed when sprouts appear. This process takes about 2 weeks.

A transplant will not be necessary soon: only when the lychee grows to 20 cm.

Avocado

The goal of avocado growers is not to harvest the fruit, but to gain new experiences. It is unlikely that it will be possible to achieve fruiting of this plant at home.

The simplest and most intuitive way to grow avocados is to sprout seeds in a container with water.

1. To create a support structure, 3-4 toothpicks are placed in the blunt part.
2. And the bone itself should be submerged in water only by a third.
3. After a few weeks, young roots will form, and then a strong sprout.
4. When it stretches up to 5 cm, it's time to place the bone in a container with soil.

The plant needs a moist environment and bright light. Too high temperature is detrimental to avocados, optimal conditions are +16 ... + 20 ° С. During the period of active development, fertilizer should be applied and the upper parts of the shoots should be pinched.

Date fruit

Unfortunately, you will not achieve fruiting of this plant, but an adult date palm will adorn any interior. In addition, the seed will germinate quickly and easily.

The prepared planting material is placed in pots with a soil mixture, deepening it by 1 cm. The date grows well only on the soil for ficus... To accelerate the emergence of seedlings, the bones are scarified. The grown seedlings are transplanted into individual pots, placed on the southern windowsill and abundantly moistened during active growth.

Lemon

Caring for indoor lemon is like growing an orange. The tree needs a long day of light and bright lighting, regular watering and fertilization. In addition, the plant is pruned once a year.

The tree will be more active in forming branches after pinching the side shoots. The growing point must also be removed from an adult plant. These measures will contribute to the harmonious development of the crown and give the lemon a more attractive appearance.

Mandarin

Even a novice gardener can handle the cultivation of a tangerine tree. This citrus is the record holder for the speed of germination... Having created all the conditions for the plant, you will notice sprouts already 3-4 weeks after planting.

The plant needs an abundance of moisture and light, transplanted into more spacious containers as it develops. An alternative to replanting for mature trees is to change the topsoil. Moving to a new pot can be very stressful to the plants.

Grapefruit

An important step in planting a grapefruit is the selection of the seed. It should be large and the fruit should be just cut. If the planting material dries out, the chances are high that it will not germinate.

Caring for a grapefruit is similar to growing other citrus fruits, and the task of the gardener is to create conditions similar to subtropical ones. This will make the plant feel comfortable.

By grafting, you can harvest the tree.

Apricot

The peculiarity of this option is the planting of a large number of seeds due to the low germination rate. October is the best time for planting apricots, and sprouts will appear only in May.

For nutritious plantings, moisturize them from April. Young plants need a lot of moisture in May and June, and after that, the amount of watering should be reduced.

Kumquat

After preparing the seeds and soaking them in a solution of potassium permanganate, they are placed in a container with loose soil from a garden mixture and sand. Then the container is covered with foil and the emergence of seedlings is waited for 1-1.5 months. A pick is necessary if several plants have sprung up in one pot.

Mango

The planting material is taken from ripe mango, the pulp of which is easily separated. The bone must be washed, scarified and soaked in water for a week. Next, the bone must be placed in the ground so that its fourth part protrudes above the ground.

Cover the container with foil until the mango sprouts. Excessive watering and fertilization is fraught with the appearance of mold on the foliage, so it is important not to overdo it with the care of the seedlings.

Persimmon

The preparation of persimmon seeds does not differ from the measures described above: the planting material is washed and placed in potassium permanganate for better germination. The sprouts will hatch in a few weeks, and when the seedlings get stronger, it's time to make a dive. During the procedure, it is important to carefully handle the root system.

Sweet cherry

The advantage of the plant is excellent seed germination. They are collected in the summer, placed in the sand for the winter and periodically ventilated. In the spring, it's time to plant cherries in containers. With proper care, which is similar to caring for cherries, the plant can serve as a stock or fully bear fruit.

Save the seeds of exotic plants and try planting them. This fascinating process is simple, it is only important to create comfortable conditions for the plantings and not forget about feeding.
