Blood Orange Lemon Fruit Plant

For your lemon plants, think of them as your citrus buddies that appreciate a bit of attention. Here’s the quick maintenance guide:

1. Sunlight: Full sun lovers. Give them as much sunlight as possible.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist. Water when the top inch is dry, but avoid waterlogging.
3. Soil: Well-draining soil is a must. No soggy roots, please.
4. Container care: If in pots, ensure they have drainage holes. Container plants may need more frequent watering.
5. Pruning: Light pruning for shape and to remove dead wood. It helps maintain a healthy and productive plant.
6. Fertilizing: Feed them with a balanced citrus fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Don’t overdo it, though.
7. Watch for pests: Keep an eye out for pests, especially aphids and scale. Treat promptly if you spot any.
8. Frost protection: If you’re in a frost-prone area, shield them during chilly nights.
9. Harvesting: When life gives you lemons, pick them! Harvest when they’re yellow and ripe.
10. Love and warmth: Lastly, give them some love and warmth. These plants thrive when they feel cared for.

Follow these tips, and your lemon plants will reward you with delicious, homegrown citrus goodness!
