October is not the time to clean citruses in a corner, but just the moment when they are preparing for winter flowering. After summer growth, lemon or mandarin may look tired: the leaves turn pale, the young shoots are weak, and the buds are not tied. But in fact, the plant already “thinks” about the colors, it simply lacks one simple component.
Take a teaspoon of yeast and dilute it in a glass of warm water. Add a pinch of sugar, leave for 2 hours. Then dilute this infusion in 1 liter of water for watering.
When watering, add only 2-3 drops of this solution per liter of water. Do this every 10-14 days in October and November.
The yeast is rich in group B vitamins and trace elements that stimulate the root system, strengthen immunity and launch the laying of buds. At the same time, the product is completely natural, does not burn the roots and does not cause salt raid in a pot.
After 3-4 weeks, small green buds appear at the ends of the shoots – future flowers. And by spring, the first fruits can ripen on lemon.
It is important not to overdo it. Citruses are sensitive to excess feeding. Two drops per liter of water will be enough for the plant to gain strength and pleased with flowering even on the shortest day.
