How to grow a lemon tree in a pot.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The lemon tree<\/strong> is one of the best ways to have a fruit tree at home. <\/strong>It can be grown in a pot<\/strong> as long as it is large enough and does not require much care or knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lemon trees are fruit trees<\/strong> that require little care. However, to grow a lemon tree<\/strong>, there are some gardening tricks<\/strong> that must be observed so that the seeds can develop and be sown.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you want to know how to plant a potted lemon tree<\/strong> to put it on your terrace, balcony or terrace and integrate it into your city garden<\/strong> , I am going to give you some useful landmarks to grow and maintain and so that you can enjoy good lemons in a healthy and ecological way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grow a lemon tree.<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

1.- To plant a lemon tree<\/strong>, we must germinate our seeds; To do this, we first preserve the ripe seeds of the lemons we use. <\/strong>They must be whole and without the gelling substance that covers them, so they must first be rinsed under running water. This prevents fungi from growing and killing the plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.- The seeds are drained a little and placed in pots or jars with new and fertilized soil. <\/strong>The soil should be moist but not soft, as this could cause our seeds to rot, and the pot should be a centimeter and a half to two centimeters<\/strong> below the rim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.- We will plant the lemon seeds one after the other at a depth of one and a half centimeters in the ground. <\/strong>It is very important that we soak our freshly harvested seeds, otherwise they will not germinate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.- You should cover them<\/strong> with pebbles or small peat and wrap them with paper or a plastic bag and store them in a warm place. It is important that our seeds<\/strong> have the ideal temperature for germination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to transplant a lemon tree.<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It is important to follow the tips on the propagation of plants,<\/strong> because in this way we can say that they start to germinate when small green shoots emerge between pebbles or peat. This is the time to remove the plastic<\/strong> and take them to a place where they get a lot of light, as lemon trees are plants that need a lot of light. It should not be forgotten that the soil must be kept moist,<\/strong> it is best to water it a little when the soil starts to dry out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing is that we leave the shoots in the pots for two months before transplanting them,<\/strong> at this point they are very sensitive and need time, water and nutrients to grow. If the shoots are two months old or strong enough to withstand repotting, we can convert them to a larger pot before taking them out into the garden.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that in order to transplant the lemon tree directly into the garden<\/strong>, you must first let it grow for a long time to ensure that the plant survives the transplant. For more help, here are some tips for making homemade fertilizer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pot for the lemon tree.<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You will need a pot with a minimum depth of 80 cm<\/strong>, but if you opt for a miniature lemon tree, it can be worth 50 cm. The lemon tree needs to develop its roots to have stability and good support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substrate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The substrate you choose should be suitable for organic farming and rich in organic matter. Avoid substrates that clump together and do not drain irrigation water well. It is important that our substrate has good ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fertilized in lemon tree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The lemon tree is a sophisticated fruit tree in terms of macro and micronutrients, so it is necessary to provide it with organic substrates. We have to pay before planting the lemon tree and we will repeat it in the second flower. Guano and worm droppings are particularly advantageous in citrus cultivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeds and cuttings or cuttings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you, as a gardener, don’t have a lot of experience and patience, I don’t recommend starting with seeds, as it’s a very long process and we don’t always get a good result. It is best to get a tree with a root ball, cutting, or stake and walk from there. A shoot with root balls is more resistant to transplanting and adapts better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like a good citrus fruit, it likes to expose itself to the sun. <\/strong>Try to place it in a place where it will be exposed to direct sunlight<\/strong> for several hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lemon pests and diseases.<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The most common pests<\/strong> that can occur when growing lemons are mites<\/strong> such as spider mites, leafminers, fruit and whiteflies, aphids, and mealybugs. <\/strong>The most common diseases are fungi, which can occur even if the humidity is too high. You already know that with these tips you can prevent and combat them in an environmentally friendly way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prune the lemon tree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is a maintenance job for many fruit trees<\/strong> that aims to improve the yield and balanced distribution of branches, improve ventilation and promote the exposure of the fruit to the sun. The formation of the pruning of citrus fruits<\/strong>, in this case the lemon tree, occurs mainly after the spring harvest and is repeated every year at the same time of the year. In this work, we will leave three branches that will come out of the main trunk<\/strong> and we will remove the suckers that usually grow under the armpits. In addition, the height of the lemon tree is limited, which can reach 4 meters in some varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope that you will take note of all these tips and we are sure that you will have a lot of success in your lemon tree cultivation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
