Care During Germination:
Orange seeds require temperatures exceeding 21°C for successful germination. Arrange the pots on a germination mat or a naturally warm location, such as above a refrigerator or near a water heater. Cover the pot with plastic wrap to retain heat, allowing loose edges for excess moisture to escape. Maintain even moisture in the soil, allowing the surface to slightly dry before the next watering. Most orange seeds germinate within 7 to 10 days in warm conditions, although some may take longer. After sprouts emerge, remove the plastic wrap and relocate the pots near a west- or south-facing window with a minimum of four hours of sunlight daily.
