The family raises a pot of lemon trees to make a bonsai, and the aroma is pleasant every morning
After raising flowers for a long time, Xiaohua found that some of her friends' tastes were becoming more and more unique. They were no longer satisfied with some of the common flowers and plants, and began to plant fruit trees, planting it as a potted plant in the home. From an appreciation point of view, the fruit tree is indeed quite beautiful, with individual branches. In addition, the fruit that grows can also be made into food. For example, the lemon tree described below, its taste can fill the whole room with fruit aromas.
Lemons have relatively high requirements for soil, and the most basic thing for planting is soil. A qualified piece of soil will save a lot of trouble for the future planting process. In the process of later growth, if it is found that the leaves often turn yellow, it is basically caused by soil. It should be known that the growth of lemons is completely dependent on the leaves for nutrient conversion, and the fruit that grows out of the leaves will naturally not be very good.
So what kind of soil can be called qualified soil? First of all, the structure of the soil must be rich. Prepare half a pot of grass and wood ash, sprinkle a little water to let it soak for a week, the water is not too much, with the water mixed, the volume of grass and wood ash will be reduced by half. Also prepare humus soil. Its most basic soil, grass and wood ash is mainly to provide nutrients for it. You can also add some river sand to mix together.
Next, prepare a pot for it, and the pot should meet two needs. The first appearance should be beautiful and have a high appearance. Because we grow lemon pots, we mainly hope that its beautiful shape will add color to the environment. For example, ceramic pots, ceramics will generally have antique elements in it, just matched with lemon trees, more compatible. In addition, ceramics will also have breathable properties.
The second requirement is that the belly of the pot must be large, because the rhizome of the lemon tree is more developed, and its caliber can be slightly smaller, but the soil volume inside must be large, so that the rhizome can be fully grown in the soil. This avoids the hassle of replacing the soil later, and replacing the pot increases the risk of it wilting.
In addition to the two factors described above, pay attention to the timing of lighting. In general, plants such as fruit trees should have enough light. If there is little light time, or if it is in a cool place for a long time, although the color of the leaves will not change much, the fruit that grows will not be very healthy. There is no need to let the sunlight shine directly on its leaves, and the flickering light can also meet the growth.
There is a process of flowering before the fruit is grown. Theoretically, the more flowers grow, the more fruits will grow, but for potted lemon trees, sometimes too much fruit is a burden, it is better to cut off some of the side branches after flowering, to make it a very beautiful shape. Retaining part of the fruit can be, but also conducive to more concentrated nutrition.
Xiaohua thinks that if you are still considering planting bonsai in the autumn, it is better to choose a pot of lemon trees and try to maintain it. Its beauty is no less than that of mainstream flower plants.
