Growing citron trees from seed offers a myriad of benefits. Firstly, it allows for 
greater control over the tree's development, ensuring healthy growth and disease resistance. Additionally, starting from seed is cost-effective compared to buying saplings. Furthermore, the process of nurturing a young tree from seed fosters a deeper connection to nature and provides a sense of accomplishment. Moreover, growing citron trees enhances biodiversity in gardens and contributes to a greener environment. Finally, with proper care, these seed-grown trees can yield abundant, high-quality citron fruits for culinary use or ornamental purposes, adding a delightful touch to any landscape.

GERMINATION

To germinate citron seeds, start by soaking them in warm water overnight. Next, plant the seeds in a well-draining potting mix, burying them about 1 inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Place the pot in a warm location, ideally between 70-85°F (21-29°C), and provide indirect sunlight. With regular watering and patience, the citron seeds should begin to germinate within 2-4 weeks.
