How to grow a lemon potted plant? Detailed explanation of the planting method
Lemon is a fruit tree grown in the south, and it is a fruit that can be used to brew tea to cleanse the body of waste, reduce the accumulation of toxins, and also achieve the goal of slimming down. Nowadays many people are already growing lemon potted plants at home. Do you know how lemon potted plants should be grown?
To grow a lemon potted plant, the first thing to work on is the potting soil. The soil should be loose and fertile, rich in organic matter. You can choose garden soil containing plenty of organic matter, or peat soil, or earthworm castings. Then add a small amount of fermented cow manure or castor bean cake organic fertilizer, and stir it evenly for later use.
After choosing the potting soil, the next step is to choose the flower pot for the potted plant. The larger the area of the flower pot, the better, so as to facilitate the long-term growth of the lemon in it. Also, the height of the flower pot should be about 50 cm, and the bottom must have ventilation holes to facilitate drainage or root ventilation. This avoids the phenomenon of root rot caused by excessive water.
Once everything is ready, the lemon can be transplanted. The best month for transplanting is around April. When transplanting, try to bring as much soil as possible to reduce damage to the fine roots, then plant the removed lemon into the flower pot. The burial depth should be 1-2 cm deeper than the previous burial depth, then gently press down the soil in the flower pot, water thoroughly with a 5% carbendazim solution, and cut off some excess twigs.
After about ten days, the lemon will begin to take root and grow new leaves. When the lemon grows to 6-8 nodes, pinching can be carried out. In addition, before flowering, water must be controlled to ensure that the plant achieves the purpose of nutrient accumulation. After flowering, replenish water in time, apply a small amount of organic fertilizer weekly, remove excess flowers, and after fruit set, thin the fruit in time to reduce nutrient consumption and achieve the purpose of fruit retention.
Then before long the lemon potted plant will be covered with fruit. When you want to brew it in water, you can pick one, cut it open, and brew it in water. The taste is much better than purchased lemons.
