Growing from Seed

Help!!

9 years ago

I am trying to grow my first lemon tree and I read online that I needed to germinate the seeds first. So I did the baggie method but now the seeds have this green mold on the napkin inside my ziplock bag. Does this mean it's gone bad? Or can I still use the seeds?

Mold is only a preventable "infection". Suggestion: since you still have seeds and not sprouts, replace everything with fresh, perhaps sterilizing first, and keep on going with the current seeds by washing the mold off them with something mild like hydrogen peroxide. Hands too.

There are other solutions that are just as easy.
