If you love lemons and want an endless supply right at home, here are some tips to help you grow them successfully!
Do you love lemons like I do?
Great. They are not only delicious and healthy, lemons are generally a very handy fruit to have at home.
I try to drink a few glasses of water with lemon weekly, even more during the winter months.
Normally I buy them in the store, but for a while now I’ve been growing these delicious yellow beauties right at home.
Not only do they go great with all sorts of dishes, lemons are a fantastic way to fight colds. An essential fruit to have in your home.
So how do you actually grow lemons in your home? Well, I’ll explain it to you in a few steps.
Grow lemons at home
What do you need:
- 1 lemon
- nutrient-rich soil
- appropriate pot
- plastic foil
- a sunny spot
How do you do it:
1. Put the soil in the pot and add water to moisten it. Leave about 3 centimeters from the edge of the pot.
2. Cut open the lemon and take out a seed that looks good. Do not dry it. Make a small hole in the bottom and place the seed inside.
3. Cover with soil and more water. Any type of flower soil works, but I recommend using a mixture of peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, and organic fertilizers.
4. Cover the pot with plastic foil to keep it moist, and then place it in a sunny spot.
5. Make sure not to overwater. This can cause it to rot. Keep an eye on the pot and as soon as you see the lemons start to grow, remove the plastic. This happens after 1 or 2 weeks.
