VIDEO: Sprout the mandarin kernels
This is how you can germinate mandarin kernels
Christmas time, good time. When the tangerine season comes, you can grow your own tangerine tree by sprouting the tangerine pits. You can use the kernels of your already eaten mandarins for this.
- Let the mandarin kernels dry for a few days.
- Then fill a flower pot with potting soil and press the seeds into the moist soil so that they are only lightly covered by soil.
- For optimal germination, place the pot in a dark, warm room.
- The first results should appear in about three to four weeks. Make sure to keep the soil moist at all times during germination.
- As soon as the first young plants are visible, spray them as often as possible to avoid the pest infestation that can occur when the air is dry.

Care for plants made from mandarin kernels
- As soon as your cultivation has been successful and you call young plants your own, you will only be able to enjoy your tangerine tree for a long time with the right care.
- Since tangerine trees are cold house plants, you must place the plant in a frost-free and very bright room during the cold winter months.
- In principle, the location of the tangerine must be sunny. In summer you can leave the tree outside without any problems.
- Fertilize the plant every now and then and water it regularly.
- Check your plant sporadically for pest infestations. Spider mites and mealybugs like to sit on the tangerine trees.
- If there is an infestation, you can quickly get rid of it with vinegar water or the usual remedies from the hardware store.
- Use the winter time to germinate the mandarin kernels and enjoy your own mandarin tree in the summer.
