Recommended potted flowering and fruiting plant: big fragrant flowers and high-appeal fruit, with care techniques included

?There are many beautiful flowers, but not many potted plants with both beautiful flowers and beautiful fruit. Today the editor recommends a potted flowering and fruiting plant that looks good when it blooms and looks good when it fruits: the golden lemon. Potted lemon, you deserve to have a pot

Potted lemon

Potted lemon flowers are large and fragrant and open all year round, with a rich scent. The flowers are white with red, and the leaves are reddish when young and gradually turn green, giving them great ornamental value

Introduction to lemon

Lemons can be grown in pots or in the ground. The optimal growing temperature is 23°C to 29°C; growth stops above 35°C, and at -2°C they suffer cold damage.

For potted lemons, if there are no small animals to help with pollination, artificial pollination can be used. Artificial pollination is an important measure for getting more fruit on potted lemons. Pollination is best done promptly after the petals have opened, and doing this work around 9 a.m. each day gives better results.

Fertilizing potted lemons: during the lemon growing season, apply a dilute soybean cake fertilizer solution about once every 10 days, with a cake-to-water ratio of 1:200. Ferrous sulfate can be added to the fertilizer liquid to make a slightly acidic nutrient solution. Ps: if ferrous sulfate is unavailable, rice vinegar can be used instead

Watering lemons: during the growing season of potted lemons, take care to place them in a ventilated spot and keep the potting soil moist regularly. Avoid uneven wet and dry conditions, meaning watering should be thorough. At different growth stages, follow the principle of "dry flowers, wet fruit," that is, water appropriately less during the flowering season and water more during the fruiting period.
