Many exotic fruits have seeds, which, if desired, can be collected and sown in pots. A little patience - and after some time on the windowsill in the apartment there will be a real fruit plantation.
Avocado
If you collect seeds only from ripened fruits, then they will certainly rise. Planted directly on the day of collection. Landing is never too complicated: you just need to dig a third of the bone with a blunt end into loose soil. Often, watering is also not necessary, it will be enough to do it once a week.
When planting at the bottom of the pot, a layer of drainage of several centimeters is necessarily laid out, since this plant does not tolerate stagnation of water. Immediately after emergence, the pot is rearranged to the brightest place in the house. The first harvest can be expected no earlier than in 3 years.
Persimmon
To successfully grow this tropical fruit, you need to consider several nuances:
- Take seeds from a fully ripe persimmon. In stores, they often sell unripe fruits. To speed up the ripening process, you need to put persimmon in a bag of apples for a while. Contrary to popular belief, persimmons should not be frozen, in any case for further germination of seeds.
- The next stage is the content of seeds for several days in a solution of potassium permanganate.
- After this, the seeds must be kept at a temperature of 50 ° C for about two months, after which they clean the hard ribs.
- Then you can proceed directly to the landing. This requires a mixture of peat and sand in equal quantities. The bones are deepened a few centimeters.
- From the second year of life, the plant needs to create conditions for rest, namely, the room temperature is about + 5 ... + 10 ° С.
If everything is done correctly, then persimmon will begin to bear fruit from about 5 years of age.
Mango
Mango seeds should only be from a fully ripe fruit. The bone should be thoroughly washed, the remaining pulp should be cleaned with a knife. Next, you need to chop the seed, and take out the embryo with the seedling.
To grow this tree you need a big pot. The embryo is planted horizontally so that a small part of the seed remains above the ground. After this, it is necessary to cover the pot with cling film and put away in the warmest and brightest place in the house. Once every few days, the edges of the film must be lifted and aired.
Mango will grow in a few weeks, and will bear fruit from 5-6 years.
Citrus

After germinating the first seedlings in about a week, the pots are placed in the brightest place in the apartment. The only negative for citrus lovers will be a long wait for fruiting, you need to have a lot of patience. These plants at home begin to produce crops after about 10-15 years.
Pitahaya
The seeds of this fruit are sown in separate containers to a depth of not more than 0.5 cm. To avoid drying out of the soil, the pots are covered with cling film. Pitahaya calmly tolerates the shadow. Fruits can be expected from 5-6 years of life.
Passion fruit
It is important to lay a drainage layer of at least 3 cm at the bottom of the pot. Tanks must be high, soil - loose and breathable. The bones should be lightly treated with sandpaper, and treated with a special solution to stimulate growth. They are planted in pots to a depth of about 1 cm, then covered with cling film.
Did you know? Passion fruit seeds are edible and even have a pleasant taste, but have a hypnotic effect. If you use only one fruit with seeds, you can oversleep up to 8 hours. The juice of this fruit, on the contrary, tones very strongly.
After sprouts appear in about a month, the film must be removed. If the planting was carried out in the winter, then the crop can be expected soon - by the summer.
Lychee
Sowing seeds is immediately after extraction from the fetus. They are planted to a depth of 2 cm. It is necessary to ensure that the soil remains moist, and the air temperature is high. Sprouts appear within a couple of weeks. Immediately after their emergence, the pot is placed in the light. Harvest will not appear quickly - in 10 years.
