20 Dwarf Bonsai Lemon Tree Seeds (Citrus limon)

Bonsai is a cultivation method, not a special seed. These are standard Citrus limon seeds that respond well to bonsai training through pruning, root work, and container culture. Seed-grown citrus may vary from the parent, and fruiting typically requires several years under strong light and good care. Outdoors suitable for warm climates; elsewhere grow as an indoor/container plant.

Why Choose Lemon for Bonsai?

• Compact habit under pruning and container culture; ideal for balcony or windowsill displays
• Fragrant white blossoms and the potential for fruit with sufficient light and heat
• Warmth-loving species that thrives in well-drained media and regular feeding
• Ships quickly in a sealed seed pack; seeds only (pots and soil not included)
• Growing zones: USDA 9–11 outdoors; 4–8 indoors with winter protection

What’s in the Pack?

Sealed seed-only pack for home sowing. No containers or tools included.

Planting Instructions

• Best time to sow: Late winter to late spring (or anytime indoors with heat)
• Medium: Sterile, free-draining seed mix (e.g., coco coir + perlite or a citrus mix)
• Depth: 0.25 in (6 mm); cover lightly
• Temperature: 75–85°F (24–29°C) steady warmth; a heat mat helps
• Moisture: Keep evenly moist—not wet—until established
• Light: Bright, indirect light for seedlings; transition to full sun gradually
• Germination window: ~14–30+ days; do not discard trays early
• Aftercare: Pot up when true leaves form; begin gentle pruning and periodic root pruning to maintain bonsai size
• Note: Seedlings may not be genetically “true dwarf”; the compact form is achieved by training and container culture

FAQs

Are these real “bonsai seeds”?

No. Bonsai is a training method. These are standard Citrus limon seeds that are well-suited to bonsai techniques such as pruning, wiring, and root work.

Will the trees stay dwarf and produce fruit from seed?

Dwarf size is primarily achieved by training and container culture. Seed-grown plants can vary. With strong light, warmth, and consistent care, fruiting typically occurs after several years.

What climates are suitable?

USDA 9–11 for outdoor culture. In cooler zones, grow in containers indoors or in a greenhouse; protect from frost.

How many seeds per pot and what germination can I expect?

Sow 1–2 seeds per cell or small pot, then thin to the strongest. Results vary by conditions; steady heat and a sterile, well-drained medium generally improve outcomes.
