What are the conditions, methods, and fertilizing precautions for growing lemons?
In Hong Kong, China, lemons are in huge demand in daily life. Whether in restaurants or at home for mixing drinks, cooking dishes, or even household cleaning, there is a chance to use lemons. If you can cultivate high-quality lemon plants at home, it is really very convenient. The following are some tips for growing lemons, which are quite different from potted lemons.
First, regarding soil, lemons love slightly acidic soil. Some well-drained, airy soil that can retain water and fertilizer is most suitable. It is recommended to use peat soil combined with some perlite for drainage.
Lemons love sunlight very much. If they absorb more than eight hours of sunlight every day, lemons will grow rapidly and will grow very tall in a short time. But it must be noted that lemons are also a plant that fears heat and cold and cannot endure hardship. Lemons basically stop growing above 35°C, and if the air is not circulating, lemons will quickly die, so when growing lemons you must always pay attention to temperature protection.
⟦NL> Regarding fertilization, lemons do not need excessive fertilization, about two to three times a year is enough. Of course, if you can apply thin fertilizer frequently, that is best. Using fertilizer mainly based on nitrogen fertilizer can make lemons grow more branches and leaves, and timely fertilization after pinching is also beneficial to lemon growth. Please remember that after autumn begins, fertilization should be gradually reduced to avoid excessive nutrition in lemons and the formation of autumn shoots.
