When in flower, the plant needs specific care to keep it growing healthy and strong.
The lemon tree produces very fragrant white flowers, which will then obviously give rise to its very popular fruits: lemons, in fact.
When it begins to flower, the plant is in a very delicate phase and for this reason it must be taken care of so that the flowering is prolonged and successful.
So let’s see what we can do at this particular time.
- Water: Giving water to plants, you know, is very important. However, when it comes to flowering lemons, you have to pay attention to the doses: make sure that at least 4 cm of the surrounding soil is dry before giving water. If, on the other hand, the lemon is in pots, you can water it more frequently.
- Light: The lemon tree needs a lot of light to grow healthy and lush. For this reason, especially if it is in a pot, expose it to direct light from the beginning of spring.
- Fertilizer: To develop new flowers, the plant needs nutrients. These can be supplemented with natural fertilizers, especially if the plant is grown in pots.
