Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and promote faster germination.

Sowing:

Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix or potting soil.
Use small pots or seed trays and space seeds at least 2-3 inches apart if planting in trays.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Maintain a temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.
Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks, but it can sometimes take longer.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, they can be transplanted into larger containers or directly into the garden.
If transplanting outdoors, ensure all danger of frost has passed and space the trees at least 6-10 feet apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Kaffir lime trees prefer moderate watering but should not be waterlogged.
Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape the tree. Pruning also helps to improve air circulation and sunlight penetration, leading to better overall health.
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep the mulch several inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.
Harvesting: Kaffir lime leaves can be harvested throughout the growing season as needed for culinary use. The fruits are typically ready to harvest when they are fully grown and have a bright green color. Twist or cut the fruits from the tree carefully to avoid damaging the branches.

Happy gardening!
