 To grow and care for lemon plants, use well‑drained loamy soil, plant in a warm sunny location, water regularly but avoid waterlogging, apply balanced fertilizers, prune for shape and airflow, and protect against pests with natural sprays like neem oil. Harvest fruits when they turn bright yellow and firm

  • Climate: Lemons thrive in warm, dry climates with temperatures between 20–30°C.
  • Soil: Well‑drained loamy or sandy loam soil, pH 5.5–7.5.
  • Propagation: Commonly grown from seeds, suckers, or grafted plants. Grafting ensures better yield and disease resistance.
  • Planting: Space plants 4–5 meters apart. Dig pits, fill with compost and soil mix, then plant seedlings.
  • Watering: Keep soil moist but avoid waterlogging. Drip irrigation is ideal.
  • Fertilization: Apply nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and organic manure regularly
