Inevitable in the kitchen, if you don’t have a tree at hand, you have to buy it from the farmer, the greengrocer or the supermarket. We are talking about lemon<\/strong>, the yellow and sparkling citrus fruit, useful for many preparations in the kitchen and essential at home. Do you always want to have it fresh? So let’s see how to grow a lemon tree in pots<\/strong>, put it on the balcony<\/strong>, use it but also admire it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lemon tree (citrus limon) is an Indian evergreen tree, grown mainly in Sicily. Sensitive to cold and wind, it is necessary in our regions to grow it especially in pots, to protect it from cold winds and frosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best time to plant lemon, or put it in pots, is in early spring, when temperatures begin to stabilize. The soil must be soft and porous, resistant to stagnation, also because it will be watered often. At the bottom of the pot, it is advisable to put a few centimetres of expanded clay, to absorb water and prevent rot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Repotting the lemon should be done every 2 years and placed in a larger container. If you sow, you should start from a pot with a diameter of 30 to 40 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those who have started by sowing will have to wet the soil until it germinates. Only then can he add fertilizer. When the plant has reached 20 cm, it can be repotted in a larger container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those who have already bought a lemon tree, will only have to guarantee good care, so continuous and more intense irrigation in summer. The soil should always be moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should be carried out in winter, removing dry and damaged leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lemon should be fertilized twice a year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Does not tolerate freezing and temperature changes Inevitable in the kitchen, if you don’t have a tree at hand, you have to buy it from the farmer, the greengrocer or […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12901,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advice"],"yoast_head":"\nOn lemon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
