Lemon Seedling

It's grown a little.

I love Jiffy Pot. They are great. But I decided to go cheap and green this year. The paper pot is made from left over lunch sacks my wife bought from 99cents store. Cut off the bottoms, cut open, fold and cut in to two pieces, rolled around a can, tape. Now I have pot. Put it in a plastic sandwich pouch so water doesn't seep out.

I paid for the dirt though. It's cactus/palm mix.

I would only water your seedling in the morning, then set the plant in the sun so the surface of the soil quickly dries. The number one cause of death for young citrus seedling is from stem rot (Rhizoctonia). Rhizoctonia lives on wet surfaces. - Millet (1,031-)
