lime seeds

[janeyo]

A kindle grape sent me some lime seeds as an extra to some other seeds.

What do I do with them? Do they need ericacious compost like my lemon plant? Should I start them off in heated prop or would windowsill and clingfilm be ok?

Thanks

Start them in a prop at preferably about 85f (28-30c) then treat them just like a slightly more tender lemon jane. If they are a key lime than you can get away a little cooler.

I have several citruses including a couple of very young limes. I've never found it necessary. I just use standard potting compost with some grit, sand and perlite mixed in. Don't think limes are any different to other citrus but I certainly wouldn't add any (mineral) lime.
