If you have a kitchen garden, lemons are the zesty summer ingredient that you must plant. To have citrus juice for your summer dishes and beverages any time you want, follow these tips to grow lemons.
Before you sow the seeds, mindfully choose the right variety that suits your climate, type of soil, size of the tree, etc.
Lemon trees grow well in summer as they require a lot of sunlight. So, ensure the plant gets plenty of direct sunlight.
For the healthy growth of lemons, you need to keep the pH level of the soil to be slightly acidic, between 5.5 to 6.5.
During the first few years of the growth of a lemon tree, more water is required, but water in batches to avoid overwatering.
Add fertilisers regularly to the planted lemon tree. But don’t fertilise in the winter season to avoid any frost damage.
