Rambutan isn�t something you usually see in local nurseries, so I was happy to find these seeds. They arrived fresh and sprouted after a little care. It�s exciting to grow something so unique.
I bought these seeds mainly out of curiosity, and they didn�t disappoint. It�s been an enjoyable project learning how to care for rambutan. They�re growing slower than citrus, but look very healthy.
These seeds definitely require patience, but once I saw the first green shoots, I was thrilled. I�ve been keeping them in pots indoors, and they�re thriving under grow lights. Can�t wait for them to bear fruit one day.
Out of the 8 seeds I planted, 6 sprouted beautifully, which is a much better rate than I expected. They�re growing steadily in my greenhouse, and I�m optimistic about their progress.
I wasn�t sure if rambutan would grow well in my Florida backyard, but the seeds sprouted after a couple of weeks. The seedlings are healthy, and I�m excited to see them mature. It feels like having a little piece of Southeast Asia at home.
