There are two ways to plant lemon trees at home, one is to buy saplings to plant, and the other is to take the seeds directly to sow. Although it is convenient to buy saplings, it lacks a planting process and requires a certain cost. So today Huahua is going to talk to you about how to use lemon seeds to grow lemons at home.
1. Seed treatment
Planting lemons with seeds is crucial, and it is difficult to choose a bad one and even germinate. When choosing lemon seeds, you need to choose fully ripe lemon fruits, if the fruit is not fully ripe, the seed germination rate is relatively low. After the seeds are selected, the pulp is removed after several rinses of water, and then placed in clean water for germination.
When germinating, it is necessary to put it in a warm environment, let the seeds have a more suitable temperature, and then change the water once a day so that it can germinate after a week. After the seeds have sprouted, they can be planted directly, put into the prepared soil, gently covered with a layer of soil, and then watered once.
2. Soil
However, before the seeds are put into the soil, the lemon must be equipped with soil, lemons like slightly acidic, loose and breathable, permeable soil. Therefore, we can use humus, sand, garden soil, etc. to configure according to the proportions, and we can also put a layer of base fertilizer on the bottom of the pot to provide sufficient fertility to the soil.
3. Seedling maintenance
After planting lemon seeds into the soil, we need to put the pots in a well-lit, well-ventilated place, water the soil in moderation every day to keep the soil moist, and after about a week or two, the lemon will germinate.
The growth of young lemon seedlings requires a warm climate environment, the temperature needs to be between 17 °C and 19 °C is more appropriate, if it is winter, it should be moved indoors in time for maintenance. At the same time, the light received every day should not be less than 5 hours, otherwise the lemon is easily stunted.
In the seedling stage, it is also necessary to pay attention to some pruning of lemons, because lemons are potted plants, and it is easy to "grow crooked" when maintaining at home, which is from "when I was a child". If some side shoots appear at the time of seedlings, they should be pruned in time.
4. Maintenance at maturity
When the lemon gradually grows stronger, we must pay attention to the problem of fat water. Water the lemon to see dry and wet, see the pot soil dry, water, one time watering. Because lemons are more afraid of standing water, the stagnant water will rot. During the growth period, we should pay attention to more watering, and at the same time adhere to the principle of thin fertilizer and more application, and apply fertilizer every 15 days or so. This allows the lemon to flower and bear fruit to accumulate nutrients.
Doing these points well is basically waiting for the results of the lemon tree. It is worth mentioning that the lemon tree can release a rich fragrance during the process of flowering and fruiting, which makes people feel refreshed after smelling. At this time, when you think about the sweetness and sourness of the lemon, you can't help but feel the inside of your mouth. Lemon can be used to soak water and can also be used for cooking, there are many uses, and it is not a loss to plant a plant at home.
