How to grow lemon trees in pots and precautions.

Cultivation method: Lemon trees like a humid growth environment, and need to be replenished with water in a timely manner for daily maintenance. The suitable growth temperature for lemon trees is 17~19℃. Potted lemon trees need to choose soil with good air permeability and drainage.

Note: Lemon trees like moisture, but are afraid of waterlogging. Do not water too much for daily maintenance. Just keep the pot soil slightly moist. Water evaporates quickly in summer, so you can sprinkle water around the plant to moisten it. Lemon trees grow better in places with sufficient light. Insufficient light will cause the plant's branches and leaves to grow elongated. In summer, the light is strong and requires proper shade. When the temperature is lower than 2℃ in winter, the growth of the plant will be affected, and it needs to be moved to a warm place indoors for maintenance, or protective measures must be taken.

Lemon tree pruning time

Pruning lemon trees during the growth period includes pruning from the spring shoots of the lemons to before picking the fruit. It is divided into summer pruning and flowering pruning. Pruning in summer includes bud wiping, topping and short pruning, mainly to control the growth potential of the branches and promote fruit growth and development. When pruning during the growth period, special attention should be paid to spraying fungicides on the cut areas after cutting to disinfect, otherwise it will easily cause gum disease and other diseases.

Lemon trees should be lightly pruned and left open for long periods of time when they are first bearing fruit. In this way, it is necessary to cultivate high-quality fruit-bearing mother branches to maintain sufficient flowers every year to increase production. The older the tree, the more yield it will produce, and the amount of pruning will also increase year by year. In terms of pruning, summer pruning is more commonly used, combined with cultivating the tree shape, continuing to configure the secondary main branches and side branches, shortening the extended branches, deleting excessive branch tips after short cutting, and pulling out the long branches that disrupt the tree shape as much as possible. Branching, twisting and thinning.
