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.
