Superb Technique: Multiply the lemon trees from cuttings with a bottle

Did you know that it is possible to multiply lemon trees from cuttings using a simple and inexpensive method using a plastic bottle? This ingenious technique makes it easy to reproduce your lemon trees and get new plants in a short time. Here is how to proceed:

Materials required:

• A clear plastic bottle
• Lemonberry cuttings
• Light and draining earth
• A cutter
• Water

Steps to follow:

1. Start by choosing healthy and vigorous cuttings from an adult lemon tree. Make sure the cuttings are about 15-20 cm long and have at least a few leaves.

2. Fill the plastic bottle with light, draining soil. Ensure the substrate is well ventilated and moist.

3. Using a cutter, make an opening on the side of the plastic bottle, about 1/3 of its height. Make sure the opening is wide enough to insert the lemon cuttings.

4. Gently plant the lemon tree cuttings in the substrate through the opening in the bottle. Make sure that the cuttings are well grounded in the earth to promote their rooting.

5. Add water to the bottle to keep the substrate moist. It is important to ensure that the soil remains constantly moist without drowning.

6. Place the bottle containing the cuttings in a bright place but away from direct sunlight. Make sure the temperature is constant and ideal to promote cutting growth.

7. After a few weeks, you should start to observe roots forming in cuttings. This indicates that the cuttings have taken and are ready to be transplanted.

8. Once the roots are sufficiently developed, transplant the cuttings into individual pots filled with specific citrus soil. Ensure that young plants continue to benefit from good watering and adequate exposure to light.

With a little patience and care, your lemon cuttings should grow to give new healthy and vigorous plants. This efficient method makes it easy to multiply your lemon trees and enjoy their delicious fruit at home!
