One beautiful specimen of citron lemon with yellow fruit is enough to create a Mediterranean aura. It is also hard not to notice the intensely fragrant white flowers.Flowers and fruit often adorn the bush at the same time.Also in our cooler climate, a lemon can bear a lot of fruit, as long as it is a grafted specimen.The leaves that do not fall in autumn are fragrant and decorative.
Lemon stand
Lemon likes sunny places, sheltered from rain. We plant it in good quality, peat-free soil for potted plants.
Lemon irrigation
Water the lemon bush rarely, but abundantly. It should be done when the soil is completely dry to a depth of 3-4 cmAfter watering, the plant should not stand in the water.Long-lasting, excessive moistening of the substrate causes shedding of leaves and dying of the tops of the shoots.
Lemon - fertilization
The lemons are best fed good, full fertilizer that contains all the nutrients you need.In the spring, fertilize every two weeks, from June to September once a week.
Lemon cutting
If the crown is sparse, the shoots can be cut tight in spring. Too long shoots should be shortened all year round.
Lemon - wintering
Before the first frost, move the lemon to a bright, cold (temperature from 5 to 10 ° C) room.It will stay here until March, April.Water the plant until the root ball is completely dry.
Tip
To prevent the soil from getting wet, place the lemon pot on blocks. The container should have large drainage holes.
