1. Sowing and raising seedlings

There are many ways to raise lemon seedlings, including sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction is sowing, sowing seeds directly in the soil, sowing methods are suitable for large area seedlings, relatively fast, select strong growth, disease-free mother plants, in about December to pick mature lemon fruit, put it in a cool area for a few days, cut open the fruit, mainly do not hurt the seeds, take out the seeds Soak in water for 5-7 days, after its water absorption is saturated, tear open its surface film and sow seeds, pay attention to changing water every day when soaking in water. After sowing the seeds, keep the temperature between 15-25 degrees, about a week can germinate.

2. Soil selection and soil preparation

Lemon likes warm environment, shade tolerance, cold resistance and fear of heat, so it is suitable to be planted in the south, it grows faster and requires higher fertility, so when planting, choose loose, fertile, well-drained land, turn the soil deep into the sun, dig 80x80cm holes, plant about 50-60 plants per mu per month, fill the hole with fertilizer mixed soil, and then cover a layer of soil, so it can be planted.

3. Colonization

When the young tree grows to 50-80cm, it can be planted, transplant with soil, be careful not to damage the plant root system in a large area, put it into the hole, straighten the soil, fill the soil to step on the ground, choose the morning and afternoon time for planting, or plant directly in cloudy days, avoid noon or rainy weather, pour fixed root water after planting, and then moisturize with film or straw.

4. Post-management

Lemon trees grow very fast, so they need adequate water and fertilizer. When watering, water should be watered according to climate change and soil dryness and humidity to keep the soil moist. Two years before planting, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied in time to promote rapid plant growth and crown formation. After the crown is formed, nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled and the application of other fertilizers should be increased. In addition, timely ploughing and weeding should be carried out three or four times a year, especially before summer, when it is hot. Water evaporation is large, so ploughing in time before the coming of summer to keep the soil loose can reduce water loss.

Lemon is planted widely in Sichuan, Chongqing, Guangdong and Guangxi. We can choose whether to cultivate lemon or not according to the natural conditions of the planting land.
