How to Sow and Care Lemon Fruit

When planting a lemon tree, choosing a small pot with plenty of drainage holes is essential to allow moisture to escape from the soil through the pot's walls. This helps prevent root rot and keeps the ground from becoming waterlogged. Additionally, it's best to use citrus compost when planting the tree, ideally one that contains sharp sand for optimal drainage.

Before planting the lemon tree, moisten the soil in the pot to make it easier to work with. Then, sow the lemon seeds about half an inch deep in the soil. Keeping the ground moist is essential, but avoid over-watering as this can lead to root rot. Place the pot in a warm location, such as a sunny windowsill, and ensure the soil never becomes too dry.

As the lemon tree begins to grow, gradually move it to a sunnier location in the house. For optimal growth, lemon trees require plenty of sunlight, so placing them in front of a south-facing window is best to maximize sun exposure. However, be careful not to expose the tree to too much direct sunlight, which can cause sunburn and damage the leaves.

Finally, it's essential to keep the soil consistently moist throughout the life of the lemon tree. Lemon trees are tropical plants that thrive in humid environments, so avoid letting the mud completely dry out. Conversely, be sure not to over-water, as this can also cause damage to the roots. Your lemon tree will thrive and produce delicious, juicy fruit with proper care and maintenance.
