Prepping the Seeds for Planting: To increase the chances of germination, you can stratify the apple seeds. This mimics the natural winter conditions the seeds would experience outdoors. Simply place the seeds in a damp paper towel, seal them in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 6-8 weeks.
Choosing the Right Pot and Soil: Select a pot with drainage holes to avoid waterlogging. Fill it with a well-draining potting mix, creating a welcoming environment for your apple seeds to sprout.
Planting the Seeds: Plant the stratified seeds about half an inch deep in the soil. Water the pot gently, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Providing Adequate Sunlight: Place the pot in a sunny spot, as apple trees thrive in sunlight. Ensure they receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
