Plant Care Guide

Ideal Plantation Locations

Balaji Lemon trees thrive in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil. They prefer locations with ample sunlight, ideally 6-8 hours per day.

Planting & Gardening Instructions

1. Location: Choose a sunny spot in your garden or a well-lit area indoors.
2. Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is well-draining by adding compost or organic matter to improve its fertility.
3. Planting: Plant the air-layered lemon tree at the same depth as it was in its original container.
4. Spacing: Allow sufficient space between plants to promote air circulation and prevent overcrowding.

Watering

Water the lemon tree regularly, especially during dry periods. However, avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again.

Apply a balanced, citrus-specific fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for the recommended dosage and frequency.

Repotting Instructions

Re-pot your lemon tree every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a slightly larger pot and use a well-draining potting mix.
