Hello guys !!!
today I will share some ways to plant citrus trees by fruiting quickly and not having to wait a long time because this process uses grafting and organic, in this process we also plant orange trees in pot or polybag media.
Tools and materials :
Organic lemon fruit
Seeding pot
Soil-colored soil
Compost
Manure
Plastic
Water
Cetok
Knife
Steps:
*Choose organic lemons that have the best quality to be used as plant breeders. Its characteristics are fairly old fruit, healthy condition, bright color, no disability, and large size. Cut the fruit in such a way as to take the seeds without hurting the seeds physically. Collect these seeds into a bowl of water so that the moisture is maintained
*Prepare a seedling pot that has a diameter of 10-15 cm with a depth of 15-20 cm. Combine the planting media in the form of soil and compost evenly, crumbly and moist. Add this growing media to the pot until it's full. Make a planting hole about the size of an index finger with a distance of 5 x 5 cm and a depth of 1 cm
*Lemon seeds that have been collected are then implanted in seeding pots with 1 seed / hole. Bury the seeds with soil without pressing and pressing slowly. To keep the condition of the seed pots moist, install plastic sheets as a pot cover and then hole so that the seeds can still get oxygen
*Lemon seeds can be moved to the yard after the seeds are 5-10 cm in size. Lift these seeds together with the growing media to keep the plant roots from being damaged. This transfer process should be done in the afternoon so that the plants can adapt perfectly to their new environment
*The key to planting organic lemon to quickly bear fruit is lighting. Make sure the plant can get enough sunlight by placing it in the right position. Avoid planting lemons next to large trees or under the canopy, because the catch of sunlight that should be received is blocked
*Organic fertilizers such as compost and manure can also be relied on to stimulate the growth of lemon fruit. This additional fertilizer serves to maintain soil fertility, so that the lemon plant can get the nutrients it needs. The application of fertilizers should ideally be carried out every three months
*What should not be forgotten is the eradication of pests and diseases with natural methods here so that the lemon plant can grow perfectly. Also prune the branches and branches regularly to trigger the growth of new, more productive branches. In general, the lemon plant will produce fruit after 3-5 years of age.
