1. From ripe lemon take out stones, choose the largest. Carry out preseeding processing of seeds. For this purpose take them day in sodium humate solution, and then in growth factor solution — "Epina-ekstra".
2. With drainage hole put pieces of beaten brick in flowerpots. Make nutritious soil. For this purpose mix mix of compost, peat and the earth in equal quantity, and then add to it 1/2 part of coarse bank sand. Fill pots and plant seeds on depth of 2 cm. At the same time the soil has to be slightly damp. Cover with polyethylene film. It is possible just to put pot in package. It is not necessary to water, a lot of moisture will cause rotting of seeds.
3. You hold pots indoors with temperature 18-22os and when lemons sprout, move them to the lit place, at the same time do not remove film, only once in day air, slightly removing it. Water with soft otstoyanny water, but not there is a lot of. When plants get stronger, remove the shelter.
4. Feed up in 3 months complex fertilizers for citrus. Try not to change conditions, that is do not rearrange pots, you do not take out on balcony and so on. Lemons can dump leaves.
5. In process of growth replace in new pots, more spacious. Create krone, for this purpose at first cut off top of the main stalk when it reaches 20 cm. It will give impetus for the strengthened growth of side stalks, too cut off them that will cause bigger branching. At the same time leave 2-3 kidneys on each escape. Usually escapes of the fourth order will already fructify, but not at once, and 4-5 years later.
6. For acceleration of fructification "band" your lemons. For this purpose tie trunk at the basis with copper wire. Over time it will crash into bark and "flow" will cause growth, from it in the tree nutrients will better collect that will become push to fructification. But in half a year the wire needs to be removed, and from it to cover trace with the garden thief.
7. For fructification 2 times a year replace lemon trees. Do it in June and February. Moisten air and arrange additional lighting with phytolamps in the winter. You carry out time to half a year of fertilizing.
