What are the conditions for growing lemons? What should be paid attention to in the fertilization of lemon?

In Hong Kong, lemons are in great demand in daily life. No matter in restaurants or at home, there is a chance to use lemons, such as mixing drinks, cooking and even household cleaning. If you can cultivate high-quality lemon plants at home, it is very convenient. Here are some tips for cultivating lemons that are very different from those of potted lemons.

First of all, in terms of soil, lemon likes slightly acidic soil, some hydrophobic soil is most suitable for water and fertilizer conservation, but it is recommended to use peat soil combined with some perlite to drain water.

Lemons like sunlight very much. If more than eight hours of sunlight are absorbed every day, lemons will grow rapidly and grow very tall in a short time. But it must be noted that lemon is also a kind of plant that is afraid of heat and cold. Lemons basically stop growing above 35 degrees Celsius, coupled with poor air circulation, lemons will die quickly, so growing lemons should always pay attention to the problem of heat preservation.

In terms of fertilization, lemons don't need to apply too much fertilizer, about two or three times a year, of course, if you can apply thin fertilizer frequently, it is best. The use of nitrogen-based fertilizer can make lemons grow more branches and leaves, and timely fertilization after picking the heart is also beneficial to lemon growth. Please remember that fertilization should be reduced slowly after autumn to avoid excessive nutrition of lemons and the formation of autumn shoots.
