Gorgeous Lemon Trees for outdoors

With the beautiful lemon tree, you instantly create a summer atmosphere in your garden. The lemon tree is a fragrant fruit tree, semi-hardy to 0 degrees Celsius. When the temperature drops below this, we recommend wrapping the tree with a special tree cover or plastic. Citrus Limonia originated in Asia, mainly in countries such as India, Myanmar and China. It later spread to the Mediterranean to southern European countries such as Italy and Greece. Today, it is a common tree in warm and tropical regions around the world.

How do I care for a lemon tree?

Caring for a lemon tree is generally straightforward. Nevertheless, it is good to be aware of the right care. Of course, you want to enjoy your summer garden plant as long as possible.

How much water does the lemon tree need?

Lemon trees need regular water to stay healthy, especially during hot and dry periods. Make sure the soil is slightly moist, but be careful when over-watering to avoid root rot. It is wise to check the moisture of the soil regularly and water when needed. Make sure the pot or soil in which the tree is growing has good drainage. This allows excess water to drain easily, keeping the roots healthy.

The perfect location for a lemon tree

The ideal location for a lemon tree is a combination between sufficient sunlight and shelter from the wind. Make sure the tree receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day, but also has protection from strong winds. Choose a location with enough space for the tree to grow and ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Repotting the Citrus Limonia

Is your citrus tree in an ornamental pot in your garden? Then once in a while it is necessary to repot your plant to a larger pot. By repotting your lemon tree to a larger pot, you give it the chance to develop further. Start by choosing a new pot that is at least 20% bigger than your lemon tree's current pot. Make sure the new pot has enough drainage holes to drain excess water and use quality potting soil that is well-drained. Remove the lemon tree from its current pot and remove any excess soil from the roots. Then place your lemon tree in its new pot and replenish the space around the roots with fresh potting soil. Is your lemon tree in full soil? Then, of course, repotting is not necessary because the roots can spread freely in the soil.

Does the lemon tree need plant nutrition?

You can feed your lemon tree every now and then to keep it healthy and growing well. Special fertilisers for citrus trees provide the specific nutritional needs of the tree. Follow the instructions on the packaging for the right dosage. Feed only in the summer months. In the winter months, extra feeding can even harm the tree!

Pruning the lemon tree

Pruning a lemon tree is important for its growth and development. Preferably do this in spring when the tree can recover itself well. Remove dead or damaged branches and thin out the tree by removing crossing branches. Keep the size of the tree under control, but do not prune too much. Always use a sharp knife or scissors. With regular pruning, your lemon tree will stay healthy and you can enjoy it for a long time to come!

Lemon tree diseases prevention and solution

It is important to be aware of common pests on the lemon tree, such as mealybug. Mealybug is a small, fluffy insect pest that can nest on the underside of the leaves and along the branches of the tree. They suck the sap from the leaves, which can lead to weakened growth and reduced fertility of the tree. To prevent mealybugs, regular inspection of the tree's leaves and branches is essential. Look out for signs of white, fluffy masses on the plant and any deformities or yellowing of the leaves. In this case, spray the tree well with water. A mild solution of water and soap can be used to manually remove the mealybugs from the leaves and branches. It is also important to keep the area around the lemon tree clean and remove any fallen leaves or plant debris, as mealybugs like to nest in dirty, damp conditions.
