Growing Grapefruit Trees from Seeds, Days 0-75

[@Yeetical]

I CANT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I WAS TO SEE YOUR NOTIFICATION, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONGGGG

[@TheMelvinWei]

Sorry for the long wait.

For basically any citrus a great way to get them started is to soak them 12-24 hours in warm water (can mix with hydrogen peroxide). Floating seeds won't be good for growing, sunken ones will be. Then you can peel off the seed coat and plant them or start them however you want. I use black gold potting mix cause it's well balanced and replicates natural soils. Sand compacts too much and can damage roots and clay can clog the pot and make areas more waterlogged, both sand and clay can block off oxygen/air as well. Plus the organic matter helps release more nutrients to the roots and promotes a healthy micro-biome. I usually use a weed mat or geotextile fabric as a top layer and put sand on top to protect the soil from pests. I also mix in mosquito bits to release beneficial bacteria that kills bug larvae. Minimal pest issues.

I’m gonna try a bucket with dividers. Potting soil, sand and regular dirt from outside. Remove divider , and plant plant in the middle. Do you think I’ll have a healthy plant?

[@SlideJones]

I can't wait to see your progress!

[@wispawtherian]

I don't know if I did it right but I found a big seed and wrapped it in a damp paper towel and in the sun I'm still wanting for it to sprout but I'm excited for it😁🌱🌳

Im how is the mango tree doing, since ive grown emotionally atached to it...

[@blaynesplantvlog7117]

It’s…….. its……well…. Gone…. He said the avocado and mango had some issues or something and he didn’t take them when he moved.😭

[@TheMelvinWei]

I still have the mango but it's struggling mightily. It looked like it was going to sprout new leaves but they burned to a crisp. There are new shoots lower on the trunk, I hope those work out.

Hi i just grew a papaya seed inspired by you

Do you know you are missed when you stay away for a long time. I have a suggestion. Dollar Tree sells round plastic plant saucers/dollies with little wheels built in, which makes it easier to rotate your heavy plants so that one side is not always facing the sun. Especially yours with so much sand must be very heavy. Anyway they usually only are available for sale in spring time . I got them for my tangerine trees which are pretty heavy. It also makes it easy to move them out of the way sometimes.

[@TheMelvinWei]

Hey Pat, thanks for the kind words! I have been really busy in 2021 with my career and other interests, but I will always look to make some videos when I have the time. Yes, my pots are heavy with all the sand. I did buy a round metal dolly with wheels. It rusted after a while and I think I threw it away during the most recent move. What I really need is some land to plant things in...

[@PatC.]

@@TheMelvinWei The dollies at the dollar store are plastic so no rust. I've had mine 3 years now. Maybe your landlord would let you have a small plot in the courtyard Wouldn't it be nice to grow something with pretty flowers like passion vine with the added bonus of free fruit for all the tenants!

That knife sliced the fruit like butter. My knife can't ever cut a tomato 😒

[@MIGUEK720]

How much sunlight does your balcony receive?

[@hxiley.parker]

I did this but instead of sprouting it in a sip block bag, I put it just in soil kinda near the top. I completely forgot about but I looked at my window seal and it grew 4 to 5 inches. I didn't water it for a month. It was a very big seed so that's probably why. I have another one growing too. It's starting to peak out of the soil. I hope it lasts, I feed it every 1 to 2 days. But yeah, the second one I grew is starting to peak out of the soil and the first one is growing really quick. Its pretty firm actually. But I feel like I should add more soil on the top because if u took a tiny bit of soil out from the top u could see the seed and i need to move it to a new pot. It's just in a 8 inch Mason jar. Any tips? How should I switch it over?

[@andresmaldonado9429]

just planted some seeds, does it need to be a more sand based soil or will homedepot pot soil works, just like normal dirt?

[@rajeshsharma-sr7yh]

Nice information Thanks 👍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@shababhassan3831]

Can a grapefruit plant grown from seed bear fruit?

[@Carrie-i8r]

Definitely, however it will take a few years. They usually grow true to seed as well so the fruit should taste just like the one you got the seeds from.

Have you tried using an organic foliar feed? Could be a great experiment.

Jackfruit plant in what is the nutrition uesd ,imedacloroped and ?

[@PatC.]

Hi. Imidicloprid is not for nutrition. It is an insecticide. He usually uses Miracle Grow water-soluble fertilizer for nutrition.

You should plan a coconut

Guys if you are woundering how the mango and avocado are doing… there gone.. he said they had a illness and he didn’t know what happened to them.. so .. there’s the answer to all of y’all wondering how the avocado and mango are doing… there non existent now.😕

[@TheMelvinWei]

I still have the mango. The avocado was down to a bare trunk so I gave up on it. The mango is really struggling. If it recovers and resets successfully I'll publish an update.
