Description

Bonsai is a cultivation method, not a special seed. These are standard Citrus limon seeds that respond well to bonsai training through pruning, root work, and container culture. Seed-grown citrus may vary from the parent, and fruiting typically requires several years under strong light and good care. Outdoors suitable for warm climates; elsewhere grow as an indoor/container plant.

Why Choose Lemon for Bonsai?

• Compact habit under pruning and container culture; ideal for balcony or windowsill displays
• Fragrant white blossoms and the potential for fruit with sufficient light and heat
• Warmth-loving species that thrives in well-drained media and regular feeding
• Ships quickly in a sealed seed pack; seeds only (pots and soil not included)
• Growing zones: USDA 9–11 outdoors; 4–8 indoors with winter protection

What’s in the Pack?

Sealed seed-only pack for home sowing. No containers or tools included.

Planting Instructions

• Best time to sow: Late winter to late spring (or anytime indoors with heat)
• Medium: Sterile, free-draining seed mix (e.g., coco coir + perlite or a citrus mix)
• Depth: 0.25 in (6 mm); cover lightly
• Temperature: 75–85°F (24–29°C) steady warmth; a heat mat helps
• Moisture: Keep evenly moist—not wet—until established
• Light: Bright, indirect light for seedlings; transition to full sun gradually
• Germination window: ~14–30+ days; do not discard trays early
• Aftercare: Pot up when true leaves form; begin gentle pruning and periodic root pruning to maintain bonsai size
• Note: Seedlings may not be genetically “true dwarf”; the compact form is achieved by training and container culture
