How to grow a citrus tree from seed

Here's another plant I get huge satisfaction growing from seed. Not only does the plant look nice, when you brush again its leaves, it smells divine. 

I've used various citrus seeds, from satsumas, blood oranges, to lemons. Whatever I've eaten, found and saved seeds, I've planted. So you can try any citrus seed.

1. First I dry the seeds

2. Then after a day or more, I peel the top layer. This is done to enable the seedling to emerge easily as the outer layer is pretty tough.

3. Pop them in some soil, water and continue keeping the soil moist. Seedlings should appear after a few weeks.

4. Keep watering and watch them grow
