Potted lemons are restricted by flower pots. Unlike lemons grown in open fields, potted lemons need to change the soil once a year, and replace a larger flower pot. Although lemons are not strict to the soil, the soil is deep, loose and fertile, rich in organic matter, good moisture retention, strong fertility retention, and slightly acidic soil with a PH value of 6.5 is the most suitable.
The proportion of soil does not have to be very strict. Basically, it is loose and airy, with sufficient nutrients. You can use leaf mulch, add a quarter of the river sand, part of the garden soil, and add a small amount of decomposed organic fertilizer.
Potted lemons are generally in spring, and it is most suitable to change soil and flower pots in March and April. Apply some base fertilizer to the bottom of the pot soil. It also needs to be pruned in spring, cut off some long branches, old branches, and diseased branches so that it can bloom and bear fruit. Watering should be controlled well, and the pot soil should be watered in time when it is dry.
Don't expose potted lemons to the sun in summer. If the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, you should shade them for several hours at noon. Before flowering and after fruiting, fertilize regularly. Some cake fertilizer, green manure, and organic fertilizer are all fine. This way the fruit can grow big.
Planting instructions (must see!)
It is best to pre-germinate before sowing, so that the germination rate of seeds is high and the growth rate is faster than direct sowing.
Germinate
Germination is very simple. First, soak the seeds in warm water at about 40°C for 24 hours, then wet the paper towel, spread the seeds evenly on the wet paper towel, and then cover the seeds with a layer of wet paper towel; then put them in a warmer Place, you can also wrap it with a thicker towel outside, and then wait for the seeds to germinate. Different qualities germinate at different times. (For spring, summer and autumn planting, you only need to soak the seeds for 24 hours before planting directly)
Plant after germination
After budding, prepare for planting. First, make the soil soft, level, and sprinkle with base fertilizer. Sow the seeds evenly on the soil, and then cover the seeds with 1.5-2 cm thick soil, and then water (the amount of watering is based on the moisture of the soil, the first time the water is watered, the moisture should be greater) . The planted in the flowerpot can be covered with a film, which plays a role of heat preservation and promotes the rapid growth of the seeds; the planted in the ground also uses this method of covering the film to keep warm.
Fertilization method
1. Basic fertilizer is a fertilizer that is combined with soil and applied to the soil before sowing or transplanting, usually organic fertilizer.
2. Top dressing is to fertilize the soil during the growth of plants, watering and irrigating make the plants grow quickly and play a role in disease resistance.
