If you have ever wondered if it is possible to grow tasty pears from the small seeds of a normal fruit, you will be happy to know that it is really possible. After sprouting them, you can bury them in pots and wait for them to grow a bit until they become seedlings. From now on, you can continue caring for them until the trees get big enough to move into the garden.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Burying the Seeds
Step 1. Get a plastic jar, four toothpicks, a pear, a knife and some soil
Preferably, choose a universal potting soil.
Step 2. Put some water in the bowl
Place it on the kitchen counter.
Step 3. Cut the pear and remove the seeds
There should be about eight of them.
Step 4. Dry four seeds by leaving them in a saucer in a warm place for a day or two
Afterward, transfer them to a reusable plastic bag and store them in a cool, dark place (the fridge is an ideal place).
Step 5. Keep the other four seeds aside
Put them in the jar with the water and put it in the fridge for four or five days.
Step 6. After this time, remove the container from the refrigerator
Eliminate the water; the seeds that float on the surface are unable to germinate and must be thrown into the garbage.
Step 7. Fill the container with soil and plant the seeds
Place them at the four points diametrically opposite to each other.
Step 8. Insert toothpicks next to each individual seed to mark exactly where they are
Step 9. Water them
Wait two to three weeks during which the seeds should germinate and emerge from the soil.
Part 2 of 2: Caring for Seedlings
Step 1. Transfer the seedlings to a larger pot once four or more true leaves have sprouted
Step 2. Transplant them outdoors when they are overgrown for large pots
Make sure you live in the same place long enough for the plants to grow to the point that they are old enough and beautiful and that no new homeowner can cut them or think they are weeds to pull out. If you have to move, make sure the tree is strong and healthy enough before the new owner sees it, as it is often not worth keeping a diseased "inherited" tree and may decide to cut it down.
Also, when the seedlings are in a large pot, you should place them outside without removing them from the containers, so that they develop into strong plants and get used to the outside climate. By doing this, you can bring them back indoors and take care of them when it gets too cold if you think it's necessary, and then put them back outdoors again when the weather conditions are more favorable
Step 3. Graft the pears as desired
If you prefer, you can graft a variety you are familiar with on the tree; however, you may also prefer an unknown one that may even produce even tastier fruit!
Step 4. Enjoy the pears
Take care of the plants as the years go by and you will have a chance to harvest a lot of good fruit.
