Growing Apple from Seeding in Container

Growing apple from seeding in container is not as easy as we thought. Let’s share how we grow apples in pots and indoor growing experience by series of diaries.

After finishing eating apples, you can keep the apple core. Cut the apple core into halves and very easy to get the fresh and nice seeds. The quality of the seed can decide the sprouting and growing speed.

Opening indoor growing kits, you often can get a planting manual, a small bag of fertilizer, a 10L of substrate, and a mesh net. Take them all out and get the mesh net. You will find there is hole in the bottom.

Put the mesh net in the bottom to cover the hole so that the substrate will not leak out of it.

Put some ceramsite or some small stones in the container. We often only fill one third of container. That’s enough for a 10L pot to fill in about 2-3L ceramsite. So that water can go away smoothly.

Pour down the substate into the container. For a 10L pot, we often provide about 4-5L substrate. After that, please press a little tight and make them to a even level.

Dig a hole and it is often 3-4cm deep.

Put the apple seeds into the hole and cover with the substrate

Use the watering can to give water. Please offer more water for the first time. So that the seeds can grow out robust sprouting. Adequate moisture is also conducive to rooting.

Don’t forget to make a label. Note down: plant name, planting date and so on.

There are 3 tips we still need to mention:

Frist one, control watering.Because our substrate has good performance of keeping watering. So please water the plant in every 5-7days. It depents on the moisture of substrate.

Second one, Give enough sunlight. If there is no enough sunlight in your space, you can use led grow light strip to take a replacement.

Third one, control fertilizer. Offer fertilizer once a week after the plant grows 3-4 real leaves.Less is better than more.
