Soil care

The soil of a pot Lemon plant must be permeable, moist and fertile, and slightly acidic. This soil is conducive to the growth of a Lemon.

Lighting care

Lemon is a light-loving potted plant that likes half shade and can be placed in a sunny and ventilated place for daily maintenance, but it cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time.

Especially during the summer high temperature period, once the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, flower friends need to take shading measures in advance to avoid Lemon being exposed to strong light, which will affect Lemon's growth.

Watering care

Lemon grows in the spring, when it needs more water, so customers can water it more often to keep the soil moist.

Fertilizing care

Lemon is a flowering and fruit-looking plant, so it can be used with fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium, especially during its growth period and bud period.

Lemon prefers fertilizer, and liquid fertilizer or cake fertilizer is generally recommended. Frequent application of thin fertilizer is beneficial to the growth of Lemon.

In addition, in northern areas, the soil is alkaline, so florists in northern areas can add ferrous sulfate as appropriate to adjust the pH, which is helpful for Lemon.

In summer and autumn, Lemon grows slowly, so excessive fertilization should not be applied in these two seasons to avoid fertilizer damage.

Environmental humidity

The humidity of a Lemon environment is generally between 40 and 75%.
