Wow so beautiful! ☺️🩷 such a proud moment for you

### Beaplant commented on 2023-12-18

Be honest, did you grow it from seed? How long before your first bloom?

#### Rook replied on 2023-12-23

I didn’t personally grow it from a seed, I bought this beauty from a plant shop a little while ago. I don’t really know how old the plant is because they never told me, but it only took a couple of weeks since I bought it to see buds starting to sprout!

I’ve grown mine from seed, and it’s almost a year old, no flowers yet

But looking at the size of yours you might have a 2-3 year old baby can’t wait to see mine flowering. Yours looks amazing, and I bet that it smells incredible

#### Rook replied on 2023-12-23

It really does smell amazing, and yours looks so strong and happy!! Lemon trees really are so much fun, and props to you for growing yours from a seed! That’s impressive!!

#### Beaplant replied on 2023-12-23

What’s crazier is that it’s from a store lemon, which are said to be sprayed so you can’t grow them at home!

### Tamara commented on 2023-12-22

How old is it? I’ve had my lemon tree a year, and have yet to see blossoms!

#### Rook replied on 2023-12-23

I’m not entirely sure how old it is since I didn’t personally grow it from a seed, I actually got it from a plant shop that just happened to be growing myer lemon trees. Something that’s helped for me is putting coffee grounds on top of the soil and then watering it down. That usually gives my tree a burst of energy and that’s when it busted out all these buds basically within a week
