When life gives you lemons, make citrus fruits! Next time you drink lemon water in the morning or try the acid hair rinse, save some seeds from the fruits you used. These little white seeds can become a potted fruit tree that will give you succulent lemons from it. Even during the colder months, a productive lemon tree can thrive inside your home. Exotic in appearance, with shiny dark green leaves and pleasantly scented snow-white flowers, this citrus fruit is attractive and refreshing at the same time. But how do you grow a lemon tree at home from scratch or almost from scratch? These are the steps to follow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to grow a lemon tree: the practical sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Contrary to what you might think, growing a lemon tree in a pot by starting with just a few seeds is not rocket science! Actually, it’s a pretty simple task, especially if you have a warm, sunny windowsill and a dose of patience and love for green plants. Well, it will take a few years for it to bloom, but your hard work will pay off in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why and how to grow a lemon tree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Before answering the question of how to grow a lemon tree we will talk a little about the reason for the proposed idea. Of course, the most obvious reason for wanting to grow your own little citrus fruit is to be an admirer of houseplants and enjoy taking care of them. However, taking care of the exotic tree in question is definitely worth it even if you don’t have a green thumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
First, the lush foliage of the lemon tree, as well as its fragrant alabaster inflorescences are a real pleasure for the eyes. Furthermore, its fruits ranging from chrome yellow to greenish through saffron depending on the specific variety chosen, impress the appropriate observer. The aesthetic aspect is therefore simply indisputable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
By the way, if left on the tree, lemons are able to preserve their good condition and flawless appearance for many months after ripening. If, on the other hand, you decide to harvest and consume them, these little vitamin C bombs will offer you many health benefits, including improved resistance to colds and flu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Variety, material and necessary conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This is what you will need to grow and grow your own potted lemon tree. First, make sure your seeds are from an organic lemon as over-treated lemon seeds are often unable to germinate. At best, choose dwarf varieties such as Citrus Limon Ponderosa, Meyer Lemon Tree, Lisbon species and Calamondin (Citrus madurensis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Likewise, prepare quality potting soil, special citrus or planting and natural fertilizers such as compost. Next, secure a pot with a well-perforated bottom that measures approximately 6 inches in diameter and depth. You will also need a second pot of about 60 cm in diameter and about 30 cm deep. Finally, a sunny spot inside the home is essential for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to grow a lemon tree in stages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
1. Moisten the soil well so that it is evenly moist, but not soaked in water. Then, fill the small pot with moist soil, reaching 2-3 cm below the rim. 2. Cut your lemon in half and remove one seed. Clean it of any residual pulp on its surface. The easiest way to do this is to suck it into your mouth for a few moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
3. Don’t delay too long in sowing the seed as it must still be moist when placed in the soil. Then, insert it into the center of the small pot about 1-2 cm deep. Using a spray bottle filled with clean water, gently spray the soil directly over the seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
4. Cover the jar with a sheet of cling film, seal the edges with a rubber band and make small holes in the top of the film with a sharp pencil. 5. Place the pot in a warm, sunny place and spray water occasionally, not allowing the soil to dry out. However, be careful not to wet the soil with water, just keep it slightly moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What complementary care for my little citrus fruit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
After about two weeks, your seed will germinate and you can remove the clear plastic wrapping. Care for the young plant by keeping the soil moist regularly, giving it moderate doses of organic fertilizer and ensuring it receives at least eight full hours of light per day. If necessary, you can use a horticultural light to supplement your lemon tree’s light needs. Monitor the young plant to ensure it is not attacked by insects or disease. From time to time, prune dead brown leaves and enrich the soil with compost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
When the plant outgrows its small pot, replant it in the larger container. When replanting, you need to follow approximately the same procedure as when initially planting. Keep in mind that younger plants need more water than mature plants. However, at every stage of their development, lemon trees need an adequate amount of water to prevent their root systems from drying out and rotting. Finally, store your lemons properly so you can enjoy them at their best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
