The time has come for planting, the migration of seedlings from the windowsill to the garden and painstaking worries about the future harvest. Fresh fruits without unnecessary additives delight much more purchased ones. And for those who do not have their own land, advises not to get upset, but to try to grow fruit directly from the seeds at home or even at work.
Of course, the fruit will have to wait, and in some cases more than one year. Growing fruit, however, is a good anti-stress and also an excuse to get closer to colleagues.
Citrus
Citrus fruits like lemon, tangerine, orange, grapefruit, etc. have a rich aroma and can be experimented with almost all year round. The seeds for sowing must be fresh. Planting them is quite simple: we wash the seeds and plant them in a moist mixture of garden soil, peat and river sand or special soil for citrus fruits. It is best to immediately plant each bone in a separate pot or glass.
It is very important to provide plants with sufficient light, but protect them from the midday sun and dry air. In addition, citrus fruits must be kept at a temperature of 12-16 degrees in winter.
Date fruit
Even a dried date bone can grow a palm tree. It is better to soak it for several days before planting. Plant it in a mixture of peat and sand, and remember to moisten it with a spray bottle every 2 days. In about a month, the future palm tree should emerge. Like citrus fruits, dates require a lot of light and a cool winter.
Feijoa
The seeds of this exotic plant should be selected from the ripe and soft fruit. If the purchased feijoa is not yet ripe, you can put it in a warm place and wait a few days. The seeds should be washed from the pulp and dried. Without digging deep, we put the seeds in the ground with sand.
The plant can rise and germinate quite quickly. Therefore, do not forget to plant the sprouts, pinch the main root and transplant it together with the old soil into a larger pot.
Fig
To grow a non-fig fig tree, you need to do the same as with feijoa seeds: rinse, dry and place shallowly in moistened soil. Sprinkle a little sand on the soil and cover with foil.Find a warmer place for figs. The first shoots will appear in about 3 weeks, if you regularly moisten the ground and ventilate the room. In the warm season, keep the temperature at least 20 degrees, and in winter, no higher than 14 degrees.
Passion fruit
If you plant passionfruit seeds, most likely, not a fruitful tree will grow, but a liana, which will delight you with its luxurious flowering. However, who knows, maybe it is you who will be able to achieve a juicy fruit at home. Passion fruit loves everything that tropical plants like: bright light, a lot of air, warmth and high humidity.
Avocado
There are two ways to grow this storehouse of vitamins from the bone. In the first case, we remove the shell from the bone, set the wide side to a depth of 2-3 cm so that the tip protrudes above the surface. The second method is called open: we leave the shell and at the level of the middle of the bone we drill 3 small holes at an angle of 120 degrees. 3 matches are inserted into them, which will be supports along the edges of a glass of water. The water level must be maintained exactly below the bone. Once there are enough roots, the seed can be planted in a pot.
Before the leaves appear, the plant needs an air temperature of about 18 degrees, and in winter the avocado loves coolness.
A pineapple
Pineapple has no seeds, but you don't need them to grow it. It is enough to cut off the top of it with 2 cm of pulp and plant it in wet sand, for example, river sand. Pineapple loves water and will need to be watered frequently. In a winter garden, this fruit does not always yield the same fragrant fruits as its southern comrades. But it is quite possible to grow it at home.
Garnet
A safe option is the dwarf pomegranate, which bears fruit quite well even in mid-latitudes. He will calmly endure aridity, but not a lack of heat. A dwarf pomegranate will delight with flowers and bear fruit almost all year round even with a growth of 40 cm. The average yield is 7-10 edible fruits up to 5 cm in diameter.
