I wanted something different for my small greenhouse, and these citrus maxima seeds were perfect. They�re growing steadily, and the leaves already give off that fresh citrus scent. Looking forward to the day I can pick my own giant grapefruit-like fruits.
Out of the batch I planted, nearly all sprouted within two weeks. The seedlings look strong and healthy. It�s rewarding to watch them grow day by day, and I�m hopeful they�ll produce the large sweet fruit pummellos are known for.
I was skeptical about growing citrus from seed, but these pummello seeds germinated beautifully. It took some patience, but the little plants are thriving under my care. Excited to see them mature into fruit-bearing trees in the coming years.
The seeds germinated quickly and the young plants are strong. I�m keeping them indoors for now until the weather warms up. So far, everything looks promising, and I can�t wait to transplant them outdoors.
I planted ten seeds, and eight sprouted�pretty good odds compared to other citrus varieties I�ve tried. They seem to love the sunny windowsill I�ve placed them on. Definitely recommend for patient gardeners.
