Fabulous! I’m trying the same with a few tangerine pips. Could you tell me a bit more about how you got your pips to sprout?

Patience! I didn’t do anything special to encourage them, but according to my records they were sown on 18th July and didn’t germinate until 28th September.

Hi there, just wanted to let you know that both my tangerine and my lemon pips have sprouted! The tangerines took 17 days, and the lemon took 19 days. I’m amazed at how fast these were. I sprouted them on a warm window sill, in a plastic covered pot with all-purpose potting soil.

I’ve always heard that most fruit doesn’t grow true to seed. There are quite a few people on Folia growing seeds from their meals. I look forward to seeing how it all turns out!

My lemon pips have been just on a month now and there’s nothing to show so I will take comfort from the length of time yours took and keep hoping.
