You can get a harvest of tangerines from a seed at home, and it is not as difficult as it may seem.
Having your own tangerines grown at home is as easy as pie if you follow a few simple rules, said agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Selection of bones
Choose seeds from fresh and ripe fruits of hybrid varieties that will take root better in home conditions.
The seeds for germination must be large, dense and undamaged.
Pot for tangerine
Plant the seedlings in pots with a light, fertile and neutral substrate.
The pots should be about 10 cm in diameter, with holes. Make holes in the substrate about 1 cm deep to plant the sprouts without damage. Then sprinkle the future mandarin with a thin layer of substrate and slightly moisten.
Conditions for growing mandarin
Keep the pot on a warm and light windowsill or shelf above the radiator.
The room temperature should be around 25-28 degrees and there should be bright light.
Keep the soil moist but do not overwater it.
After the foliage appears, move the pot to a cooler, brighter place. Water the plant regularly, but not too often.
Use mineral fertilizer once a month.
In winter, reduce watering and keep the plant in a cool, bright place at a temperature of 14-16 degrees.
When the sprout reaches a height of 20 cm, select a larger pot for it, transplant it and place it in a shady place for 1-2 days.
