Lemon cutting time

Lemon trees can be propagated by cuttings all year round in a suitable environment, but it is best to do it in spring and autumn, specifically in May and September. The climate and environment are suitable at this time, which is more conducive to the survival of the cuttings after propagation, and the management difficulty is relatively low.

Lemon cutting method

1. Prepare the substrate: Before lemon cuttings, prepare soil suitable for rooting. It likes sandy soil with good drainage. The soil needs to be disinfected with potassium permanganate solution before use, or exposed to the sun for two days.

2. Select branches: Choose one-year-old branches for cuttings. The branches should not be too old or too tender. Choose strong, disease-free and intact branches. Cut the middle and lower parts for cuttings. The survival rate is relatively high. Cut the bottom of the branch obliquely and only keep two leaves for cuttings.

3. Carry out cuttings: Before cuttings, use chopsticks to poke small holes in the substrate, and then you can insert the prepared branches into the small holes. After the cuttings are completed, gently press the surrounding soil and spray it with water.

Lemon cutting maintenance

After the lemon cuttings are completed, they need to be placed in a location without direct sunlight for maintenance, and the substrate must be kept moist. If the substrate becomes dry, it needs to be sprayed with water in time.
