How do you plant oranges?

Answer 1

I have sprouted it easily by drying it for 1 day then plant it in some starter soil or some good soil. Put it in a sunny area and water until damp not soggy. Plant it a inch under the soil. It could take a month or a week depends if the seed is good. If I could grow it in Winnipeg, MB you could grow it(our winter is like minus 40 Celsius or colder and it snowed in June.)

Answer 2

Well, I haven't had much luck, but the best results have come from just taking a small plate, folding a piece of paper towel so it fits in the plate. I then lift on side of the paper towel and place the seeds in between the paper towel. Then moisten the towel, and keep moist. It seems to take quite a while, maybe 8 weeks or more ( I never counted ) but eventually they will sprout. I have tried both taking the outer shell off and just leaving them, and have had the most luck just leaving them the way they are.

To get an orange seed to sprout, soak the seed in room temperature water for 24 hours immediately after removing it from the orange. Next, bury the seed under about half an inch of damp potting soil in a small container and place it where it gets some light, but not too much. Keep the soil damp and warm for 4 to 6 weeks and the seed will sprout.

Answer 4

Some orange seeds won't grow, but others will. I think that some fruit is grown genderless or something... Those that do grow are still unlikely to fruit from my experience. Try planting in moist soil 2-3 cm deep in a small plant pot. Place a plastic bag over the top (eg small freezer bag) and secure with rubber band. Don't let the soil dry out. If a shoot has not appeared within 4-6 weeks, then the seed is a dud. If you see a sprout then take the bag off and pinch out after the fourth pair of leaves. This should generate a bushier, stronger plant. Let the plant establish in a warm sunny spot and if it becomes straggly, then pinch out to create a better shape.

Alternatively, go to a garden centre and buy an orange tree!

Answer 5

This would relate to organogenesis meaning you want to take a premature section of the tree in hopes to regrow a clone of it but... This typically requires hormones and a controlled environment to be successful as the piece would most likely die if just placed in the ground. Although this is a bad example because it can be relitevily easy to do if you know what your doing and this example cannot, but imagine a baby trying to grow without the nutrients and protection of its mother.

Start by getting the smallest leaf you can possibly see as most of its cells don't have a specific task of what to do. If you choose a large leaf with or without any hormones it will most likely die as most the cells are already matured and only understand the function of being a leaf.

Best bet is to take multiple leafs/stems and place them in a controlled pot with nutrient soil, making sure to have a continuous light source (UV) and keep wet/damp.
