To grow up full-fledged fruits of lemon in house conditions is business extremely troublesome, but pleasant and fascinating. The lemon tree extends around itself pleasant citrus aroma; in five years the created plant can present to the owner the first full-fledged harvest. Ovaries in room of limonariya can independently be formed as lemon flowers – oboyepoly. However for increase in productivity the plant should be pollinated artificially.
It is required to you
- - thermometer;
- - magnifying glass;
- - Q-tip, brush or piece of fur;
- - biostimulant.
Instruction
1. Attentively examine lemon before pollination. Tsitrusovoda emphasize that the weak tree should not allow to fructify – even one fruit can exhaust in literal sense all juice from weak escape. It is considered that for normal development of each citrus in krone dozen mature leaves have to be created.
2. If the plant has enough got stronger, let's buds reveal and count several days (the flower during this time will mature). Then prepare for controlled pollination of lemon.
3. Create suitable conditions for this procedure. It is important that pollen has not dried up and, on the contrary, has not dampened. For this purpose relative air humidity has to be not lower than 70%, and air temperature + 25 degrees. As a rule, such conditions happen in the first half of day.
4. Pollinate lemon by means of the suitable tool: Q-tip, small soft brush, or piece of real fur. At first you need to carry out carefully by cotton wool or pile on stamens, and then to apply collected pollen on pestle top. Be careful not to break fragile flowers!
5. Use magnifying glass – it will help you to make sure that pollen has stuck to pestle. It is just in case recommended to pollinate lemon in the next two days.
6. Test special biological products which are designed to stimulate formation of fruits at the blossoming plants with weak growth of ovaries. It makes sense if weather patterns does not allow tree to be pollinated normally. Some tsitrusovody-amateur with success use such means as "Bud", "Ovary", etc.
7. Consult to the experienced plant breeder and spray with biostimulant citrus according to professional instructions. Growth substances help pollen grains to sprout better, and ovaries become stronger. In most cases application of qualitative biological products allows to do without controlled pollination of lemon.
8. You will be able to estimate the actions for forming of ovaries on room lemon at a distant day. From time when fall down lobes of the impregnated flower, before, when the full-fledged fruit begins to ripen, there can pass about 180-230 days.
