Florida Oranges variety gardner ripens at the begin of February. Sweet juicy fruits. Soak seeds overnight. Some people plant the seed immediately in a potting soil and small peat pot. Others remove the seed coat, the wrinkly white coat on the seed, and then soak it overnight and plant it. This process rushes the germination time. You can also put the seed between layers of damp towel and put it into a plastic bag until it sprouts, and then plant it. Wait for the sprouts to appear. If there are three sprouts, the center one is normally weak. Remove it by snipping it off. Keep the pot's soil moist by either covering it with a plastic drape or keeping it in a plastic bag until you notice the sprouts emerging.
