How to grow apples from seed in a pot (How To Grow Apples At Home From Seed)-
Step 1: Remove seeds from ripe apples
First of all take a good ripe apple. Cut it and take out the seeds from the middle. Wash the seeds with clean water so that the pulp on them is completely removed.
Step 2: How to Germinate Seeds
Now wrap these seeds in wet tissue paper or cotton. Keep it in a small box and keep it in the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days. Keep in mind that the tissue should remain slightly wet and should not dry out. In a few days, small roots will start emerging from the seeds.
Step 3: What should be the pot
When the seeds germinate, plant them in a pot. Initially a pot 8–10 inches deep and wide is suitable. There must be holes at the bottom of the pot so that extra water can drain out.
Step 4: What is the soil like?
Soil is very important for the apple plant. Mix cow dung or vermi compost and a little sand in the garden soil. The soil should be light and friable, so that water does not stagnate and the roots can spread easily.

Plant the germinated seeds about half an inch deep in the soil. Put light soil on top and press it a little with your hand.

There is no need to give much water in winter. Light watering 2-3 times a week is enough. Keep in mind that the soil should remain wet, but water should not accumulate.
Step 7: Sun and Care
Keep the pot in a place where it gets sunlight for at least 4-5 hours every day. Protect the plant from very cold wind and frost.
