Growing a lemon from a seed in a pot is easy.
You just need to put mature large seeds in a pot with loose soil, water regularly, provide a sunny and warm place, and in a few years you will have a small tree.
Moisten the soil, make a 1-2 cm depression and place a seed in it.
Each lemon should be planted in a separate pot to provide enough space for the roots.
There is no need to water the lemon; it is enough to moisten the soil from time to time with a spray bottle.
Maintain a temperature of at least 18 degrees, humidity above 40%.
The ideal place for growing a citrus tree is a glazed loggia, balcony, terrace, garden.
Nevertheless, the plant should not be exposed to direct sunlight, as their exposure damages the leaves.
Therefore, a place with light shade is suitable, where the lemon will be comfortable and have enough sunlight.
To speed up the fruiting of the growing plant, the branches are given a horizontal position.
Make sure that the crown does not thicken too much; to do this, do not allow branches to grow inside it.
Most buds and fragrant flowers appear on citrus fruits in March - May.
How to properly replant a lemon in a pot
The lemon removed from the old pot is carefully placed in the center of the new container (be careful with the roots).
The voids are filled with the remaining soil, while the root collar should be visible above the surface of the ground.
The soil is compacted, the plant is watered and put away in a shaded place for 5-6 days.
