You may be surprised, but you can easily grow lemon in your garden or on your windowsill.
ADVICE.NEWS explained what is important to consider when growing and caring for this fruit.
Features of growing and caring for lemon
There are two ways to grow a lemon tree at home: from seeds or seedlings. The first option develops faster, it is more unpretentious and more useful, but it begins to bear fruit in 8-10 years. A tree grown from a seedling grows less actively, but you can collect lemons from it in 3-4 years.
To grow a lemon from a seed, you need to find seeds. To get seeds, just buy ripe, firm fruits in any store.
Moisten the soil, make a hole and put the seed in it. Each lemon should be planted in a separate pot so that there is enough space for the roots.
There is no need to water the lemon, it is enough to moisten the soil from time to time with a spray bottle.
How to make a lemon bear fruit
Growing a lemon from a seed in a pot is not difficult. You just need to plant mature large seeds in a pot with loose soil, water regularly, provide a sunny and warm place, and in a few years you will have a small tree. However, you are unlikely to get any fruit from it.
