Planting & Care

To start Clementine seeds, plant them in a well-draining seed-starting mix, barely covering them with soil. Keep the medium consistently moist and warm, ideally between 70-80°F. Germination can take several weeks. Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots with a citrus-friendly potting mix. Provide plenty of sunlight and protect young plants from drafts.

For ongoing care, water regularly but allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Fertilize with a citrus-specific fertilizer during the growing season. In cooler climates, bring container plants indoors before temperatures drop below 50°F. Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches.
