Florists often face the problem of indoor lemon trees not producing fruit.
Together with the expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, we will understand the reasons for this phenomenon and how to avoid them in the future.
Lack of light
Lemons love light.
Lack of sufficient sunlight or placement in a dark corner will result in lack of fruiting.
Incorrect watering
Drying out and overwatering are dangerous for lemon.
The plant likes abundant and regular watering. The soil should be moist, but without stagnant water.
Nutrient deficiencies
Lemons need fertilizers. Without the necessary microelements in the diet, the lemon will not bear fruit.
Incorrect vaccination
To make a lemon tree bear fruit from a seed, it is necessary to graft it.
The rootstock also plays an important role in grafting and can influence fruiting.
Inappropriate temperature
The optimal temperature for lemon growth and development should be 12-15 degrees in winter and 18-22 degrees in summer.
Heat is harmful to lemons, especially indoors.
