Lemon tree potted lemon tree planting method is generally lemon fruit less in the first two years, the third year can bear a lot of.
(1) first of all, we need to do this because they are all potted plants, so we must change the soil in spring and autumn. I am a big foam box. Pull out the whole lemon tree, remove all the fine roots except the main root with a shovel, and then spread fertilizer soil and a layer of garden soil on the bottom of the pot, and then plant it. This is very simple. If the seedling is not big, it is not physical work. If it is really not good, ask someone to help pull it out.
(2) After planting, it doesn't matter after autumn. Let it grow. The winter is almost over. It's about the beginning of spring. At this time, parents should pay attention to it. The key to make lemons blossom and bear more fruits is when you put some branches, long and thin, thick and strong. It doesn't matter. Try to bend down as much as possible to form an n-shape with the branches at the bottom. When bending, pay attention not to break it. OK, fix it with a rope. Try to make more n-shapes for the whole lemon, which will promote nutrients to go down, blossom more and bear more fruits.
(3) The rest is simple, as long as you pay attention to pollination when flowering, pay attention to fertilizing when fruiting, there will be no problem in flower and fruit preservation.
(4) Some forum flower friends mentioned that some lemons have long leaves and don't blossom, which is also a common problem of lemons. Here, please note that lemons need pruning! We are unlikely to prune as often as fruit growers. I did it myself
I usually prune twice, pruning time for spring and autumn, rainy days for the best. I don't want it to grow high in potted plants. I want it to grow short and round. I want to keep thick branches as far as possible. The old way to bind long branches down is to cut off the branches that have grown over the diseased leaves and insect leaves.
(5) lemon leaves, if it is perfume lemon, cut off the leaves, do not throw away Oh, used to steamed fish. When the fish is ready, it will smell like lemon! If you have too many leaves, you can wrap them in gauze or put them in any box. If you put them in the room, they are natural spices.
(6) Finally, here comes the secret! In the summer, time must be well controlled, almost at the end of August or early September, gradually Don't water the lemon slowly. I'm a coastal city in the south. It's very hot in summer, so I usually give it a small glass of water every day. When the soil in the basin dries up, you can see that the leaves of lemon become very dry. It's almost game over. At this time, I'll pour them thoroughly again to restore normal water supply. Must control well, don't give dry hang up, this process is almost OK.
The points for attention in the cultivation of lemon tree in pots are as follows: 1. Before sprouting in spring, cut off the long branches, dead branches, diseased branches and dense branches.
② During the growing period, the basin soil and the surrounding air should be kept moist.
③ Thin fertilizer is applied frequently. Generally, the fertilizer should be applied once a week; it is not suitable to apply fertilizer in bud stage, flowering and fruit setting stage; it should not be applied again after autumn.
④ During the growth period, pay attention to retain the bearing mother branches, cut off the branches without leaves and less fruit setting, and appropriate flower thinning.
⑤ It needs to be moved into the greenhouse to overwinter, give more light, reduce watering and keep the basin soil slightly dry.
