How to make lemon blossom and bear fruit

Replacement of potting soil

The potting soil of potted lemons must be replaced from March to April. If the pot is too small, you can change to a suitable one. If the pot is still suitable, you can just replace it with new soil with base fertilizer.

Pruning Problems

When repotting in spring, you can combine it with pruning, cutting off dead branches, shortening weak branches, useless overgrown branches, and diseased and insect-infested branches and leaves to make the plant healthier so that it can better hold the fruit.

Water before flowers

In order to enable the plant to better accumulate nutrients and produce flower buds, the lemon needs to be dehydrated before the Beginning of Autumn. The water supply should be gradually reduced more than ten days in advance. Watering should be stopped in the first five days to allow the soil to become dry. You can sprinkle water on the leaves appropriately at night. When most of the axillary buds turn from green to white, the water supply should be restored in time.

Reasonable fertilization

Lemon needs to be fertilized many times before flowering and after fruiting. Apply multi-element flower fertilizer once a month and spray flower nutrient solution once every half a month, so that the fruit will not fall off easily.

Noon shade

After the lemon blooms, it needs to be shaded when the temperature is too high for about 3 hours, otherwise it may affect the formation of the fruit.

Prevent leaf fall

In order to prevent fallen leaves from affecting the fruiting of lemons, you should water the plants regularly, not too much at a time, to reduce the amount of fallen leaves.

Pest control

In order to reduce the invasion of diseases and pests, you can spray Huayao once every half a month. Do not choose to spray at noon as the scorching sun can easily cause harm.

How to preserve flowers and fruits

Artificial pollination

If you want more fruits, you can choose artificial pollination. The best time is around 9 am every day after the petals open.

Flower and fruit thinning

Remove some of the flower buds before the flowers bloom, and then remove some fruits that grow in the wrong position after they bear fruit to prevent them from consuming excessive nutrients.

Focus on fruit preservation

Increase the supply of fertilizer and water, maintain sufficient nutrients, remove the withered flowers, leaving dozens of well-grown fruits, and remove the rest.
