When to top a potted lemon

1. Topping the Plant

1. Time: This type of plant requires many maintenance methods during its growth, one of which is topping. If topping is not done in time, it will have a negative impact on the growth of the plant. Pruning and topping should be done when the plant is still a seedling to prevent the seedlings from growing wildly.

2. Operation: When the seedlings of this type of plant grow to 20 cm in height, use a pair of sharper scissors to cut off 3-5 cm of the young shoots at the top of the plant, and leave 5-8 leaves on the plant. This way, the plant will grow more young shoots and grow stronger.

2. Precautions

1. When topping this type of plant, do not do it in bad weather. The most suitable temperature for this type of plant is 20-25℃. You can prune it when the temperature is highest at noon. Do not choose to prune in summer or winter, otherwise the wounds of the plant may be damaged.

2. After the seedlings of the plant grow into mature plants, you can choose to top them in the spring every year, leaving 2-3 small buds, and properly prune the overly lush and withered branches. This way, the nutrients of the plant can allow it to grow good fruits.
