Its easy fructification is also the most pleasant aspect as bonsai of Citrus limun.

Bonsai is an ancient Japanese plant art technique that takes ordinary tree seedlings and turns them into miniature pieces of art from nature. 

The art of bonsai is only achieved by constantly bending, holding and cutting the branches. These miniature bonsai trees can maintain their size for years and years.

There are few lemon bonsai, but its easy fructification and its pleasant appearance, suggest that the cultivation will tend to increase. 

Already after 2/3 years the tree produces fruits, even if in bonsai form the pruning and the wrapping tend to hinder the fructification. 

Its easy fructification is a pleasant aspect of Citrus limun bonsai.

The lemon tree is a famous citrus tree that can grow quickly into a bonsai. 

The lemon tree is sensitive to cold but survives in sunlight. It can produce vibrant dark green leaves and beautiful fragrant spring flowers.

Exposure.

From spring until late summer leave the plant exposed to direct sunlight. In winter is good to put it in a cold greenhouse, ensuring a temperature between 3 ° and 9 ° C.

Watering.

In the spring-summer period water abundantly, but let the soil dry between one watering and the other. The frequency should be decreased during the winter.

Soil.

The most suitable compost for this species is: 100% akadama (medium-large grain size).

Re-potting.

Transplant every 3-4 years in spring, making the simultaneous cutting of roots.

Pruning.

Prune in March to give the plant the desired shape.

Picking.

After the flowers have fallen, sprout new shoots.

Winding.

Apply coppered aluminum wire protected by adhesive paper in spring to avoid marking the delicate bark.

Fertilization.

At the end of flowering, after pruning, feed Bonsan Stimulating Fertilizer combined with Bonsan Liquid Organic Fertilizer 3 times at 8-10 day intervals. This fertilization can be substituted with Bonsan Stimulating Fertilizer plus Bonsan Organic Solid Fertilizer Hanagokoro 2 times every 15-20 days. At other times, use Bonsan Liquid Organic Fertilizer every 15 days until October, or Bonsan Hanagokoro Solid Organic Fertilizer every 15-25 days, excluding July and August. Twice a year (in autumn and at the end of winter) administer Bonsan Organic Solid Fertilizer Hanagokoro; 3-4 times a year it is also appropriate to intervene with Bonsan Mineral Curative Solution. To stimulate rooting, use Bonsan Fluid Organic Mineral Fertilizer with B vitamins instead of Bonsan Organic Liquid Fertilizer.
