I planted an orange seed 3 days ago and it hasnt even sprouted a root!
How do you make lemon, orange and apple seeds grow?
It could be that the seed wasn't fully ripened when picked. I have eaten Grapefruit and the seed inside had a long root. Apples or any fruit grown in the cold climates have to stratified, that is they need about 6-8 weeks of uninterrupted cold. Give the orange another week. Maybe you should give it a little bottom heat and get the temps up to about 70-75 degrees as this helps them to sprout faster. Keep it moist but not soaking

Reply:Have patience. Sometimes it's a week or two before you see anything.
Also - if the fruit was irradiated (as some grocery items are), it very well could render the seed not viable.
Reply:First answer is viable, although if you want oranges on the tree, you will have to purchase a rooted plant.
Reply:Be patient. Three days is NOT long enough. Give it a month or two.
