Flower friends who like to drink lemonade will mostly choose to plant a perfumed lemon at home, which can not only be ornamental, but also fragrant when flowering, and the fruit can be soaked in water to drink, which has many benefits. But many flower friends raise perfume lemons always grow very strong, but they just don't bloom, let alone bear fruit, what's going on? In fact, we ignore a small detail in management.
Perfume lemon fruit-bearing spring management tips
Perfume lemon can bloom many times a year, fruiting, mainly spring fruit and summer fruit-based, if your perfume lemon has never borne fruit, then now according to the blue demon said, give it an early spring management, so that it can bloom and set fruit smoothly in spring.
1. Proper pruning to promote spring shoot germination
Many flower friends don't know what kind of branches of perfume lemons can bear fruit, so they don't dare to prune perfume lemons, resulting in perfume lemon trees growing very vigorously, all thick branches, but they do not bloom and do not bear fruit.
If you haven't pruned your perfumed lemon before, now that the perfume lemon has not yet germinated, prune it and cut off the branches that are too thin, the inner branches, the cross branches, the diseased branches, the branches that are too short and too thick. If you are reluctant to prune strong branches, you need to cooperate with pulling branches to promote more germination of side buds on the branches to blossom and bear fruit.
By pruning, the base of the perfumed lemon is made more transparent, and at the same time, spring shoots are promoted. Perfume lemons bear fruit on the hard branches that are born in the current year, that is, the branches that germinate in the current year can blossom and bear fruit when they are ripe, and if the branches are particularly tender, they will not be able to bloom and bear fruit.
2. Replenish spring fertilizer in time
After pruning in early spring, it is necessary to supplement sufficient fermented organic fertilizer in a timely manner, such as fermented sheep manure, fermented chicken manure, fermented soybean cake fertilizer, etc., shallow burial at the edge of the basin, and the pot with a diameter of 2cm can be shallow buried 0-0 kg at a time.
3. Keep the light sufficient
Perfumed lemons are very fond of sunlight, and if you want perfume lemons to bloom and bear fruit, you need to maintain sufficient light. Full sunshine all year round.
Friends in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai pay attention, perfume lemons must be potted, ground planting, the branches of the aboveground part of the winter are easy to freeze to death, sprout new branches again in spring, and it is difficult to flower and bear fruit for a long year, almost every year, so the small partners in the frost area, must remember to plant perfume lemons in pots, do not plant in the ground, and can be placed in a position that does not have frost in winter, and has sufficient light, or put it on an indoor balcony.
4. Apply flower promotion fertilizer in a timely manner
After the spring warms up, the perfumed lemon enters the rapid growth period, and the spring shoots grow in large quantities, at this time you need to keep the fertilizer and water sufficient, and the blue demon recommends that you apply fermented soybean cake water and fertilizer once a week, or organic nutrient solution to promote the growth of new branches.

5. Pay attention to pollination and fruit preservation during the flowering period
When perfumed lemons begin to bloom, irrigating the roots with potassium dihydrogen phosphate and increasing foliar boron fertilizer can improve pollen quality and fruit setting rate.
Perfumed lemons grown outdoors can be successfully pollinated naturally, if they are potted indoors, it is recommended to pollinate manually, otherwise it may lead to unsuccessful pollination due to the lack of pollinators, and fruit setting may not be possible.
6. Pay attention to pruning long branches
In order to ensure the smooth expansion of spring fruits, we should pay attention to pruning branches throughout spring and summer, and properly cut off old leaves to increase the light transmission and ventilation of plants.
At the same time, special attention should be paid to pruning long branches, that is, branches that grow upright and upward. Many flower friends' perfume lemons do not bloom, because a large number of long branches consume nutrients, this kind of long branches grow very fast, will rob a large number of nutrients, not pruned or shortened in time may cause perfume lemon fruit setting failure, or the phenomenon of fruit dropping.
If the tree is very small and the long branches are reluctant to be cut, you can also use the method of pulling the branches to the angle of drooping when the long branches grow to about 20cm, so as to inhibit their growth.
