Once your orange tree is a year old, you can transplant it to a sunny spot outdoors if you live in a warm climate or continue potting it in a large pot every year. Keep your orange seedlings in a sunny spot and continue to water them once a week.

Mix some peat moss and sand into the potting soil when you transplant them so the soil is well draining and slightly acidic. Wait several weeks for the seedlings to develop a few sets of leaves, then transfer them to 8-inch (20-cm) pots so they have more room to grow. Others such as Clementine and Nova produce seeds if a pollinizer variety is nearby. You should also fertilize the seedlings with a mild fertilizer, like compost tea, every 2 weeks. Pixie and Satsumas are almost always seedless. After the seedlings have sprouted, water them once a week, or whenever the soil starts to get dry. Place the pots in a spot that gets a lot of bright, direct sunlight. Once they’ve soaked, plant each seed in a 4-inch (10-cm) pot filled with potting soil. Then, transfer them to a new bowl of water and let them soak for 24 hours. Use a cloth to wipe away any flesh and juice on the seeds. Place the healthiest, plumpest seeds in a bowl and fill it with water. To germinate orange seeds, first slice an orange in half and use a spoon to scoop the seeds out.
