It is really easy to grow a lemon or orange tree at home. You just have to put the seeds that you find inside your citrus fruit into a small flowerpot filled with earth. The seeds just need a thin layer of earth over them. Pour a little water into the pot, then place it in a warm, sunny space and wait. Never let the earth dry totally. Once the seedling has a height of a few inches you can replant it into a bigger pot - or just let it grow. Cut off the lowest leaves now and then, otherwise the tree will not grow very much. Dust off the other leaves so that they can breathe. And never ever expose the tree to frost as it will die.
And do not expect fruit on your tree, with the exception of the case that you live in an area where there grow a lot of citrus trees - but then you probably would not read these amateur instructions.
