The most suitable time for lemon cutting is late May and September. Cut mature and robust branches with a length of about 15cm. Just cut off some leaves on the branches and leave 2-3 pieces on the top. Insert a small hole in the medium with a cotton swab, and then insert the branch into the small hole. After cutting, water it through and put it in the half shade.

The most suitable cutting time is late May and September, but after all, it's autumn, and the air humidity is very low, so we need to pay attention to water control. If the lemons raised by Huayou are covered with plastic film, they can also be cut in spring or winter.

Cutting utensils

You can choose flowerpots, disposable cups or other suitable utensils, but remember to make the bottom permeable.

Cutting medium

The most suitable is the sandy soil with good air permeability and good drainage. The soil should be disinfected in advance, but do not apply fertilizer.

Cutting branches

It's about a year since the mature and robust branches were cut. It's not good if they are too young, they don't have enough nutrients, and they are easy to rot. The length of the cuttings is about 15 cm, and then cut off most of the leaves on the branches, leaving only two or three pieces on the top.
