How to Own a Lemon tree in a Plastic Bottle
Spreading a lemon tree in a plastic bottle is a practical and economical way to grow your own lemon tree. Here is how to proceed:
Materials required:
- Transparent plastic bottle
- Special earth for cuttings
- Lemonary mother
- Gardening scissors
- Water glass
Steps to follow:
- Take a clear plastic bottle and cut it in half to mid height using gardening scissors.
- Fill the bottom half of the bottle with special soil for cuttings.
- Take a cutting about 10 cm long from a mother lemon tree, making sure to cut just below a knot.
- Soak the base of the cutting in a glass of water to promote root development for a few hours.
- Plant the cutting in the soil of the bottle so that the knot is covered by the ground.
- Water the cutting slightly to moisten the soil and make sure to maintain constant moisture by spraying it regularly.
- Place the bottle in a bright place but away from the direct sun, to promote the growth of the cutting.
- After a few weeks, roots should begin to form. You can then transplant the cutting into an individual pot with a suitable mixture of soil.
