How to Make an Orange Seed Sprout

    • 1). Place the orange seed in a bowl of room temperature water to soak for 24 hours.

    • 2). Prepare the nursery pot while the seed soaks by filling it with equal parts of sand and a soilless seed-starting potting mix. These mixes help avoid fungal pathogens that attack seeds and seedlings.

    • 3). Push the orange seed ½ inch into the mix then moisten it gently to avoid disturbing it. Water spritzed onto the soil from a spray bottle is an ideal way to keep the soil moist and the seed in place.

    • 4). Keep the nursery pot in an area of bright light, but not in direct sun. The indirect sunlight should keep the soil warm. If the pot is in a window, move it away from the glass on chilly evenings. Don't let the soil dry out. The orange seed should sprout within six weeks.

    • 5). When the orange seedling reaches 6 inches in height, transplant it into a larger pot filled with a potting soil recommended for citrus trees. Wait until the orange seedling reaches 2 feet in height to place it in the garden.
