If your homemade lemon has lost its brightness, sheds its leaves and refuses to bloom, do not rush to throw it in the trash. With the help of a penny from the kitchen, you can revive the plant and make it bear fruit all year round. These three simple fertilizers will work wonders on any citrus fruit.
Secrets of a rich harvest:
Coffee grounds for acidity. Sprinkle the used coffee around the trunk and lightly loosen the soil. Lemons love a slightly acidic environment: this prevents yellowing of the leaves and stimulates the production of new shoots.
Banana peel for potassium. Cut the dried banana skins into small pieces and bury them in the soil near the edges of the pot. Potassium strengthens the tree's immunity and promotes the setting of large, juicy fruits.
Sugar syrup for energy. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar in a liter of warm water and water the plant at the root. Glucose serves as a powerful source of energy, activating photosynthesis and helping the lemon to bloom within a month.
These simple methods will turn your sick tree into the pride of your collection. Try it and very soon you will be collecting fragrant lemons right on your windowsill!
