Keep in mind when planting that Lemon is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Lemon tends to grow best in a soil ph of between 5.5 and 6.8 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Allow unblemished fruit to ripen; clean and dry seeds.
