Can a dog with all his vaccinations and a shot where he cant get ticks or fleas get lime disease? if so how and what bye beisdes fleas?
Oh boy. OK, first DO NOT PUT THEM IN THE FRIDGE OR DRY THEM!!! You will kill citrus seed doing that. Plant them fresh out of the fruit in a very well draining planting mix about an inch deep. Citrus plantings need to be kept damp but not wet, warm, 75 F. would be perfect, and in bright light. Takes a couple of weeks for germination at this temp. and they are ready for transplanting when they get the second st of leaves. A note to J and Weasel, just because you don't agree with me is no reason to be malicious and go out to give me low ratings. Idiots like you are why for the second time I am quiting this site.
My family owns a Texas Rio Grande Valley citrus grove and I can tell you for sure birdsx don't have a clue what he's talking about. Planting wet slimey seeds directly from a lime will more than likely just cause the seeds to mold, thus wasting your time and your seeds. Listen to J,,, he knows what he's doing.
Are your seeds coming directly from a lime or are they packaged seeds? If you're getting them from a lime, put them in the fridge for a few days, till they are good and dry. Then take a styrofoam egg carton, put potting soil mix in the egg holes, plant seeds under about 1/2 inch of soil, water well, close lid and place in a warm place. Check every 2 or 3 days and make sure the soil doesn't dry out, water as needed. Within a few weeks they should begin sprouting. When they get tall enough that they are touching the top of the egg carton, open the top and water daily. Once they reach about 3 inches tall, transfer to a larger container of potting soil mix and watch them grow. Edit: Refrigeration will not kill a citrus seed although freezing will. Refrigeration puts the seed into a dormant state which helps it sprout. If you plant them directly from the fruit they are more likely to mold than they are to grow. I have lemon, orange, tangerine, lime and clementine plants growing in West Texas, zone 7 where citrus is not even supposed to grow, all started from seed. Edit AGAIN!!! Let me be more specific, don't leave the seeds in the fridge until they completely dry out, just a couple or 3 days so the outer shell is dry to the touch and no longer gets slippery when you wet it... Good Luck! ;-)
