From adding a squeeze to poha, a bowl of salad, to making lemonade, lemons are an essential ingredient. To have an organic supply, follow these tips to grow lemons in your kitchen garden.
Before you grow lemons, be mindful about choosing the right variety that suits your climate, type of soil, size of the tree, etc.
Lemon trees require a lot of sunlight. So, before planting the tree, ensure that the spot gets plenty of direct sunlight.
For the healthy growth of lemon trees, you need to keep the pH level of the soil slightly acidic, between 5.5 to 6.5.
During the first few years of the growth of a lemon tree, more water is required, while ensuring that you 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 potential frost damage.
