one Orange
Orange is one of the most unpretentious plants among citrus fruits, so it is not difficult to grow it on a windowsill, but such plants rarely bear fruit.
Before planting in a pot, put drainage and nutrient soil. From ripe fruits, take large seeds. Then soak them in water for about 10 hours. After that, immediately plant in the ground: a few seeds in a separate pot (preferably clay) to a depth of about 1-2 cm.
Then cover the soil with cling film and place the pots in a place that is well lit, but not in direct sunlight. The film can be removed when sprouts appear. If several bushes have risen, they need to be thinned out and left alone. At warm room temperature, the first shoots will appear in 2-3 weeks. Watering an orange should be moderate: do not allow the soil to dry out, but do not fill it.

2 Lemon
One common window sill plant is the lemon tree. It is quite difficult to get fruits at home, so at home most often a lemon is planted as an ornamental plant. The planting scheme is almost the same as that of an orange: select large seeds from the fruit and place in a pot. Remember to loosen, fertilize, water regularly and provide good lighting. Also, the plant must be cut once a year to give a beautiful shape to the crown.

3 Grapefruit
Another citrus that is easy to grow at home. To do this, it is important to take a large bone. Prerequisite: the stone must be pulled out of the fruit right before planting in the ground. Dry ones just won’t germinate.
The plant is used to living in a subtropical climate, so you will have to maintain the necessary conditions: regularly water the seedlings and humidify the air, as well as provide bright light for at least 10 hours a day.
At hot temperatures in summer, it is better to water the plant more often. Also, do not forget to loosen the soil and feed with fertilizers.
To get fruits, you will have to graft, otherwise the grapefruit at home will only perform a decorative function.

four Date fruit
It is not difficult to germinate a date. However, if it is possible to achieve fruits from previous plants, albeit with difficulty, then only an ornamental palm tree can be grown from date seeds.

Seeds can be planted in one container, then water a little. As soon as the sprouts sprout, they should be moved to separate pots. This should be done carefully: transfer only with an earthen clod and in no case damage the roots.

5 Avocado
Avocado is a fruit that has become very popular in recent years. Therefore, they are trying to germinate it not only to obtain fruits, but simply out of curiosity. To do this, take the bone of a ripe fruit. Determine where it has a sharp tip. This part of it must be placed in the ground. The opposite, on the contrary, must be left outside.
Another option for sprouting is in water using toothpicks or wooden skewers. In the less sharp part of the bone, you need to stick about 4 sticks, creating legs, on which you then put the structure in a container of water. Only 1/3 of the bottom of the seed should be in the liquid. Water will gradually evaporate, so it needs to be added from time to time. After 2-4 weeks, small roots will appear from the bone. When they reach 5 cm, it will be necessary to transplant the avocados into the ground.
