In the first two years, the family made some lemon paste, and the lemon seeds would be bitter in it, so they were all picked out. Then I suddenly wondered if if I planted lemon seeds, would it grow a tree, and the result was of course, and it was very good.
My lemon tree is now more than three years old, and it is green all year round, so planting one at home can be seen green 365 days or 366 days a year. The most important thing is that the lemon tree is a yoshi tree, which has a variety of functions such as blocking and accumulating wealth. Growing at home can also effectively remove odors and beautify the environment, as well as a certain refreshing effect.
Here's how I made it grow into a tree. The surface of the freshly picked lemon seed will be sticky, don't worry about it, and when selecting the cultured lemon seed, use the whole one, not cut it with a knife. Directly find a suitable container for the lemon seeds, and then add water to soak overnight, the water should not be too little, at least higher than after the lemon seeds.
After soaking the lemon seeds, start making something similar to a Petri dish. My approach was to find a good-sized container, put toilet paper on the bottom layer first, and then wet it with water, which was about one point five to two centimeters thick. Then pour out the soaked lemon seed water and remove the layer of glue on each lemon seed. Lay flat onto prepared toilet paper, paying attention to spacing when laying. After laying the lemon seeds on top of a few layers of toilet paper, be sure to wet them until you can't see the color of the lemon seeds.
After this step is done, place the container containing the lemon seeds in a cool place without sunlight. The main observation, try not to let the surface of the paper towel dry, to take the watering can in time to spray water. During the period, lemon seeds can be observed to sprout, generally one to two days can see germination, and then can be transplanted into the pot.
When transplanting the pot, the lower layer can have a thin layer of paper towels, because some lemon buds have already been worn into paper towels, and forcibly taking them out will only destroy the young shoots. After putting the young shoots into the pot, sprinkle a thin layer of soil on top of them to cover the seeds, and then spray a small amount of water on the surface.
Then slowly wait, about one or two days will see the young shoots grow out, a week or so all the buds are successful.
After the success of budding, you must spray water every day, now do not move the pot, the pot is easy to die. There were dozens of trees in my family when they were moved around 15 centimeters, and only three were left after transplantation. One of them was moved back again, and many grew together to come back to life. During the period of cultivating trees, there must be no shortage of water, each time it is watered, it must be watered thoroughly, the interval is at least one week, and the summer heat can appropriately shorten the watering cycle. And if the lemon tree has leaves hanging down, you must quickly water it, and after watering, it will recover.
That's about two years
It should also be noted that in the summer generally do not water at noon, the temperature at noon will be very high, the water absorption and transpiration of plants are very strong, when the water vapor vapor is serious, the soil temperature in the summer is relatively high stimulated by cold water, the land temperature drops rapidly, the water absorption ability of the root system will decline very quickly, the water absorption speed cannot catch up with the transpiration and loss of water, and the plant will wither. Winter watering should be at noon, morning and evening temperature is relatively low, watering will reduce the temperature of the soil, will make the root system freeze to death, so choose the noon temperature is relatively high when the watering is better.
In the early stage of seedlings, it is necessary to ensure the nutrition of the soil, and providing nutrition in time is the key to growing into a large tree. In the winter, pay attention to the temperature, do not freeze to death if the temperature is too low.
When the lemon tree grows to a year and a half or so and has a height of 70 cm, it should be topped, the branches on it should be cut short, and it should start to make it thicker, and it should not be elongated any longer.
Now my family lemon tree has been three years, whenever someone comes to my house as a guest, see this green plant and ask what is so good, and then hear that it feels good to grow from a seed.
Now the lemon tree
Then I saw on the Internet that lemon trees can blossom and bear fruit in about three years, and our family trees are similar, and now I am waiting with great expectations.
