Caring for Your Lemon Plant: Essential Tips
During the first few years, focus on irrigation and mulching to support the health and growth of your lemon plant. Adequate water supply is crucial, with lemon trees typically requiring between 20 and 60 m3 of water. Ensure consistent watering, especially during the flowering and fruit-setting phases, to prevent water scarcity.
Mulching plays a pivotal role in the early stages of the plant’s life, shielding its root system from the encroachment of wild herbs. These competitors could potentially strip the lemon tree of essential water and nutrients.
Apply a layer of straw and bark, incorporating natural fertilizer beneath, to create an optimal environment for your growing lemon plant.
