Hi @martiantv805, they don't need light before they grow leaves and they don't need direct light for some time when they grow leaves, just a bright area. So, yes, I keep them out of direct sun at first. Take care

Hi @eiramu, you're right, you don't have to peel the skin of the seeds, of course it will work like that too, like you said; as it does in nature. But peeling the skin seems to improve the odds of successful germination a little bit. I actually did a test comparing peeled and unpeeled seeds and I am about to upload that video in the coming days. Take care

@@AGoodLife yes please. I got a bunch of seeds growing after peeling them but I have a load that I’ve been too lazy to peel yet and I was looking for experiences before I waste them 😅 thanks!

Hi @christinelyons8402, basically, grafting is a pretty common practice among fruit tree growers. It is done by attaching a branch from an already-fruiting tree to another tree, called a "stock" tree. The stock tree is usually a young one that would take many years to bear fruit on its own, but grafting shortens that time and makes the stock tree 1-grow fruit much sooner 2-ensures the stock tree grows that same kind of fruit. There are various grafting methods. You can find out more online about how it's done. Take care

Hi @zeenatfatima7707, if it already has developed some roots and leaves, it would probably survive and continue to grow. Good luck

Sorry to hear that @cherylboyd5548, what's the issue you're dealing with?

Thank you @SAAAlvar-tq3ox, I'm glad you found it useful. Take care

You're welcome TheSanDiegoSteve. I hope you'll feel better soon

hi @goldenwhisper66, sorry to hear that. Wilty leaves happen most often due to under-watering or too much sun. Don't keep them in direct sunlight for a few weeks and make sure you water them some every few days. Check your pot's weight and soil. If the soil completely dries and the pot feels really light before waterings, increase the amount of water you give them. Take care and good luck!

Thanks crafts and gardening!

Thanks, Corky Wine!

Hi kyncha, if the pain is bad enough, it might be worth putting a shirt on for a while. Either way, take care and I hope you feel better soon

Hi smart451cab, I'm glad you found the video helpful. Take care and good luck with your jades!

Thanks Robert Stoker :) I'm in northern Europe myself. You can grow it indoors like me and maybe even keep it dwarf in a pot by pruning and training (otherwise it may eventually need its own room!)

Hi Ayushi Suman, yes, leaf or a branch, it's best to let it scab over and dry for a few days before putting it in soil. (It's not an absolute 'must', you can put them in soil right away too, but it will be more vulnerable to diseases and take longer to root.) Take care, and good luck!

Hi Save The Earth, actually a few different houseplants are sometimes called the 'moneyplant' the pothos being one of them. I'm glad you're doing ok in the currency department. Take care, and keep having those money plants around, I guess! :)

Hey BagDiscEnergy, it should be ok, but I wouldn't do that too many branches, and I wouldn't go shorter than 2 nodes. You can experiment and see what happens but if you want to maintain your plant's well-being that's what I would recommend. Take care and good luck!

@@AGoodLife you’re a legend 🙌

Hi Kallie, I am not saying “you might plant a tangerine tree and get a lime tree” in the video, I'm saying "you might plant a tangerine SEED and get a lime tree” since citrus seeds are not always true-to-type, as I explain in the video. I've heard both pros and cons for peeling the seeds before germinating them. I'm actually right now working on a video comparing 50 peeled seeds to 50 unpeeled seeds to test some of those claims. It should be posted in the coming days, if you're interested.

It is doing well, and stands over 1.5m/4 feet but still no fruit... Soon I hope though. Maybe next year... :)

Hi Reny Dev, I am glad that is working for you. Each break/crack is unique I'm sure based on severity and location but for me, the real painful part was the first few days, then it was painful for another 2-3 weeks but a little less so with each day and this method really helped me. So if you miss lying fully flat, and once you get a little better and get in bed, you can still use this method. Even though it may be more tolerable by then to get in and out, this method will still make it less painful. Take care and get better soon!

Thank you Kumo, I'm glad you liked it! Good luck!

Thank you so much Olivia! Your comment made my day! 🙏I will try and make more.

Hi Morris & April, I still have the big plant that's in this video, it is now close to 1.5m tall (5 feet) but still no fruit. I never grafted though, and without grafting it may take 5-8 years to get fruit and it's just getting close to the 5 year mark. Maybe (hopefully!) I'll see some fruit in the coming years.

@@AGoodLife That is super cool! Let us know what happens. Lots of people still have great fruit from citrus, avocado and apples anyway.

@@MooreLegacyFarms Thanks :) Will do!

Hi Flamer997, sorry about your lemon tree drooping. The most likely cause is underwatering of course, but check the soil to make sure that it's not too wet. Overwatered and underwatered citruses tend to appear similar. If you don't think it's a watering issue, another culprit may be too much sun. Plants take a while to adjust to new conditions and the bigger the plant, the longer that may take. So since your plant is larger this year, it may take it longer to adjust to being outside. (Again, assuming it's not a watering issue) I would recommend putting it outside for shorter durations each day and gradually increase that time. Good luck, I hope everything goes well.

Hi Solomun Crablert, once I put them in soil I start watering them once a week from the get go - just slightly more generously the first couple of weeks. Good luck and happy growing!

Thank you Char Vanders, I try. I'm glad you liked it and let me know.

Hi Vishnu Shinde, it's true. Many don't mention it at all but I want everyone to know what to expect. Take care

Hi Jan Matejcik, I don't have a place in mind, it would also vary depending on where you live, but if you want the fruit I would recommend looking for "citrumelo 4475 grafter" rather than seeds. If you are interested in growing them as rootstock, you can find "citrumelo 4475 rootstock" more easily than seeds, and if you want to commercially grow and sell rootstock yourself, I would recommend checking with your countries agriculture ministry/office. Good luck

Hi Judy Wyatt, yes, the success rate would be lower than a branch with leaves but since the green branches/stems themselves do photosynthesis as well, it is possible to propagate a jade stem without leaves. Good luck and take care.

Thank you FACTS NOT FAIRYTALES, I'm glad you liked the video.

Hi Lars J, not "suddenly" but yes, a seed from some lemons can grow to be an orange tree, or a seed from an orange can grow to be a lime tree, etc. Some citrus seeds are not "true-to-type" and that's basically what that means; you may plant the seed of one type but it may grow to be another type.

Hey CIsntSharp, I am really sorry that you're in pain. Painful rib movements sometimes force people to take shallow breaths but it's important to breathe in deeply especially to prevent chest infections and to clear mucus from your lungs. So as much as you can stand it, you should try taking in deep breaths. If you are in a lot of pain, kind of hugging yourself with or without a pillow will make taking deeper breaths more bearable. Also, keep in mind, this situation is temporary, you should be feeling less and less pain with each day soon. Good luck, and take care.

Hi Raise Our Eye View, I collect the seeds from the lemons we buy at home, but you can use any citrus seeds. So if you buy any lime, tangerines, oranges, grapefruit, etc, you can collect their seeds and propagate them the same way as I show in this video. Good luck!

Thank you 232house, hopefully I won't have to deal with spider mites again anytime soon, but If I do, I'll try your method too. Take care

Thank you Raven! I'm glad you liked it. Take care :)

Happy to hear it Violadenise SimmonsEvoulouga! Good luck and happy growing!

Hi M Far, it's best to let single leaves scab too, for the same reasons; it will root better when scabbed, and it will be more vulnerable to diseases and infection if you plant them right away. Take care and good luck!

@@AGoodLife thank you! 😄 happy growing.

@@mfar3016 Thanks! Happy growing to you too :)

Hi HYDROPONIQS, 2 weeks is a good amount of time to wait. In two weeks most of the seeds that will sprout do. You can, of course, check your seeds in 10 days or so, but if you do that I'd recommend putting the seeds that did not sprout back in and give them a few more days to sprout. Take care and good luck

@@AGoodLife appreciate it, what about keeping the napkin wet, do you have to put water every few days?

@@HYDROPONIQ No, you wet the napkin at first, then seal it shut and leave it alone. It will dry eventually of course but it should stay wet for 10-15 days without adding any water.

@@AGoodLife Thanks alot, I feel like I’m talking to a tree lol

True. Thanks

Hi Kimberly Elizabeth, sorry to hear about your citrus plants yellowing. There are a few potential causes, but the most common reason I've seen is over-watering and root damage. If that's the case and if you act quickly you can correct the problem. Check out the information at www.bhg.com.au/lemon-tree-with-yellow-leaves and good luck!

@@AGoodLife thank you so much! Great info

@@k.e.M_ No problem! I hope it helps and I hope your plants recover soon.

Thank you, I try to keep the videos informative and to the point. I'm glad you appreciated it

Thank you Luke Atillo!

Well done Thomas Ratliff! Those long bare vines occasionally happen and I do the same with them. Besides providing more plants it also rejuvenates the donor plant too. Good luck and I'm glad you liked the video. Thank you, as well, for letting me know.

Thank you Marina Harmon, I am glad you found it helpful! I hope you'll successfully grow some seedlings. Good luck and take care

@AGoodLife jip, we have house plants on our counter in the kitchen. I stick a few seeds in there, maybe a week ago, and already noticed 2 coming up. One is already 5 cm tall. I was surprised. Stick about 2 in there yesterday again. Will leave it alone till some leaves develop, and then hold my breath and plant them out. I didn't do any prep on in papercloth 1st. If God intens for things to go in the ground, then in my mind, so it small be. It is a long wait for fruit, but just how pretty the tree becomes is rewarding by itself. Thanks again. Keep up with the videos.

@@marinaharmon5775 That's great! I'm glad you put them in soil. These other steps we take and the prep work usually leads to better results (meaning more seeds will germinate and sprout compared to just putting them in soil) and that's why we do them. But of course just putting them in soil is always the basic method for seeds, that's what happens in nature, and it will work! Good luck with your seedlings. Take care

I heard trees don’t like to put into a pot that’s too big so you may have to constantly uppot it.

Thank you Full Circle. I try to include only worthwhile information without wasting anyone's time. I'm glad you appreciated it and let me know!
