How to grow potted lemons? Culture methods and matters needing attention of potted lemon

Fruit potted plants need to absorb more nutrients than ordinary green potted plants, so choose a slightly larger purple sand basin and try to choose thicker, more shaped lemon trees. The matters needing attention in the process of culture are as follows:

1. Light and temperature: lemon likes light, and the best growth temperature is from 23 ℃ to 29 ℃. If the temperature is over 35 ℃, the growth will stop. If the temperature is lower than-2 ℃, the leaves will turn yellow. Lemon potted winter needs to be moved into the room before Frosts Descent, and then moved out of the room after the Qingming Festival, so as to ensure the safety of the winter.

2. Change the basin soil on time: the time is generally after Ching Ming Festival and before April. When changing the basin, you should choose a basin suitable for the growth of lemon plant size, not too big or too small, and add base fertilizer to the bottom of the basin, such as chicken dung, cake fertilizer and so on.

3. Timely fertilization: potted lemons apply multi-element flower fertilizer every other month before flowering and after hanging fruit, and spray flower nutrient solution every half a month. To apply a proper amount of fertilizer according to the growth trend, large plants can apply more fertilizer and less fertilizer in small pots.

4. Pest control: lemon has strong resistance to diseases and insect pests, dry climate and fewer diseases and insect pests. The prevention of diseases and insect pests should be given priority to. In the cultivation and management, the branches and leaves should be cleaned by spraying water, and the branches and leaves should be pruned and well ventilated and transparent. Carbendazim is usually sprayed every half a month.

5, timely pruning: lemon pruning is mainly in winter and spring, cutting off withered branches and fallen leaves, diseases and insect pests, growing branches and other parts, so that the plant can hang fruit and grow. Pruning during the growing period is supplementary. When the tree is just bearing fruit, the tree pruning is mainly light and long. Through shaping and pruning, we can adjust the rational distribution of nutrients in the tree, so that the limited nutrients are concentrated to supply buds and leaves, forming more fruiting branches, so as to achieve full branches of flowers and fruits. Potted lemon must be pruned before spring shoot germination. firstly, withered branches, diseased branches, overgrown branches, introverted branches, cross branches, sprouting branches and so on should be removed. Leave 4 or 5 full buds for strong branches and 2 or 3 buds for weak branches to promote more robust spring shoots on each branch. After the spring shoot grows evenly, in order to control its overgrowth, light cutting can be carried out to cut off 3 or 4 nodes of the shoot. The new shoots will be plucked when there are 6-8 knots, in order to induce more summer shoots.

Second, how to cultivate potted lemons in order to hang more fruits

If the potted lemon is not well managed, the result is only flowering, no fruit or little fruit, no blossom. How can we make potted lemons fruitful year after year? The following Huacao Le tells you to pay attention to the following three points:

1. Water control before flowering in order to prevent overgrowth of summer shoots, the water supply to potted lemons decreased gradually in the first ten days of the End of Heat, and stopped in the first 5 days until the leaves were withered and curled. In order to prevent leaf dehydration, water can be sprayed on the leaf surface in the morning and evening, so that the lemon is under the condition of drought and not dying, its axillary buds are expanding day by day, and the bud color changes from green to white. When it is found that most of the axillary buds change from green to white, controlling water to promote flowers is successful. After that, the watering will resume normally.

2. Fertilization is very important. After lemon blossoms, thinning flowers and fruits should be carried out in addition to applying thin fertilizer once a week. Before the flowers bloom, first remove part of the buds; after the flowers are shedding and setting fruit, and then remove some improperly positioned young fruits, so that nutrients are concentrated on the retained flowers and fruits, so that the fruits grow bigger and better. During the fruit growth period, if there is enough fertilizer and water, the plant branches will sprout new shoots. In order to preserve the fruit, the new shoots should be erased in time. When the fruit is yellow and ripe, stop fertilizing and reduce watering to keep the soil moist and slightly dry to increase the fruit setting rate.

3. Heart-picking, fruit-picking and potted lemon like fertilizer, and thin fertilizer should be applied on weekdays. Once the mature liquid fertilizer is applied before sprouting, and then once a week, only the branches and leaves will grow and there will be more spring shoots. After picking the heart every time, it is necessary to apply fertilizer in time to make the branches mature earlier. During the growth of lemon, you can sprinkle some cake fertilizer on the basin, and after watering, the fertilizer seeps into the soil to enhance fertility. After entering autumn, fertilization is reduced to avoid overnutrition of plants, promote autumn shoots, and compete with fruits for nutrients, resulting in fruit drop.
