How to Plant Germinated Grapefruit Seeds
- 1). Expose the germinated seeds to an hour of sunlight a day when you notice two leaves growing.
- 2). Increase the germinated seedlings' sunlight exposure. Add an hour a day of sunlight until they tolerate the sun.
- 3). Place the germinated grapefruit seeds in individual pots with draining holes. Fill the pots with a well-draining soil, and plant them in the pots by digging a hole the size of the root ball of the germinated grapefruit seedlings. If you planted them in peat pots, you will need to plant them in a hole the size of the peat pot.
- 4). Cover the roots of the seedling or the peat pot with soil.
- 5). Water the grapefruit seedling until you see water running from the bottom of the pot. Keep the potting soil moist and do not allow it to dry out.
- 6). Keep the grapefruit tree in the sunlight eight to 10 hours a day. Continue to water the grapefruit tree when the top 1/4 inch of the soil feels dry. Once the grapefruit seedlings become established, usually after one to two years, you can plant them outdoors.
