Lemon pollination time and method

Lemon pollination method

Lemon is an insect-pollinated plant. It can be pollinated by wind or insects. It can be self-pollinated or artificially assisted pollination.

Best time to pollinate lemons

It is best to pollinate in the morning when the pollen is more active. If the pollen turns milky white in the afternoon, its activity is not high. The lemon flower itself is a complete flower with stamens and pistils. It can self-pollinate during the flowering period.

Lemon Pollination Method

Artificial pollination of lemons can be done by picking off the petals of the stamens on a sunny day, and then using the stamens to decorate the style on the pistil for pollination.

When growing lemon flowers, you need to artificially pollinate them when the plants are flowering. You can prepare a cotton swab or a brush, dip it in the pollen of the male flowers, and then apply the pollen on the pistil of the female flowers to promote rapid fruiting. You can also place the lemon flowers on the balcony and let bees or butterflies pollinate them.
