Plant seeds about 1\/2 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist and warm (70-80°F) until germination occurs, which can take several weeks. Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or into the ground in a sunny, sheltered location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvide regular watering, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Fertilize with a citrus-specific fertilizer during the growing season. Protect young trees from frost and strong winds. With patience and care, your grapefruit tree will grow into a productive and beautiful addition to your garden or patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e15 Ruby Red Grapefruit Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836022522166,"sku":"FOLIA2-1863","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7860932603_4jkf.jpg?v=1793097427","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/15-ruby-red-grapefruit-seeds-grow-your-own-citrus-tree","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
