How to Grow a Lemon Plant in a Cup

Have you ever thought of growing a potted lemon tree? So while that might sound like a lot of effort (ambitious too), growing a lemon seed in a small cup is actually pretty simple. I’ve done it, and let me tell you — it is satisfying, and fun, to watch that little seed sprout and grow. And, if it does not yield any fruit, a small lemon tree will bring a pop of natural beauty to any space.

Why Grow a Lemon Tree in a Cup?

You may be saying to yourself, “Well, why would I want to grow a lemon tree in a cup instead of a pot or in the ground?” You can start small by growing it in a cup, which is perfect if you have limited space or are hesitant to commit to a large harvest. I personally don’t have much space so growing a lemon in a cup is quite convenient. It’s also easy to keep tabs on the seed’s progress and move it to a sunnier location if need be. If the plant grows bigger, you can always transplant it to a larger pot.
