Room Lemon – care

Now it has become very popular to grow exotic plants at home, and I will tell you that anyone can do it. In this article, I will tell you how to grow indoor lemon at home. The indoor lemon is a tree with leathery leaves with a characteristic “lemon” aroma and axillary spines. Lemon grows well in rooms, but high indoor temperatures in winter and excessively dry air can make it difficult to grow.

The best varieties of lemon for rooms – “Pavlovsky”, “Meyer”and “HOvogruzian “.

The plant must be carefully looked after. The earthen mixture for lemon is made up of two parts of turf and one part of leafy land with the addition of 1/2 part of good greenhouse humus and coarse river sand, as well as a small amount of crushed charcoal. It is necessary to water so that the soil in the pots does not sour from excess moisture, but does not dry out either, the water temperature should be 2-3 degrees higher than the air temperature in the room.

In summer, lemons need to be sprayed from a spray bottle at least 2-5 times a week, in winter – 2-3 times. Once a week, lemon can be watered with a solution of mineral fertilizers, after moistening the soil with water. Extra weak shoots should be cut in the spring. A transplant can be done after a year, without completely shaking off all the old soil, so as not to damage the roots. The surface of the earth must be loosened 2-3 times a month.

Note: To obtain lemon fruit, it is better to grow grafted plants, in which flowering and fruiting occurs already in the third year after grafting. You can also root cuttings taken from cultivated plants (known good varieties); these plants also bear fruit in the third or fourth year, sometimes in the second. To accelerate fruiting, pinch the tops of the shoots of a two-year-old plant.

Thus, by performing simple actions on your window, grow a real lemon.
