Growing Gondhoraj lemon from seed is possible but requires patience! I've grown several trees this way:

Start with fresh seeds from ripe Gondhoraj lemons. Clean all pulp thoroughly and plant immediately - citrus seeds lose viability quickly. Sow in well-draining potting mix, about 1/2 inch deep.

Keep consistently moist and warm (75-85°F). Germination takes 2-6 weeks. Once seedlings emerge, provide bright light. Transplant carefully when they have several true leaves.

Important: Seed-grown citrus may not produce identical fruit to the parent and can take 7-15 years to fruit. For true-to-type fruit and earlier production, grafted plants are better.

Gondhoraj lemons need tropical to subtropical conditions with protection from frost. They make attractive container plants in cooler regions.

The incredible fragrance makes them worth growing even as ornamental plants!
