Growing New Lemons from Leaf Cuttings: The Method Unveiled
Propagating a lemon plant through leaf cuttings is a widely embraced and reliable method. In contrast to seed sowing, which can be time-consuming and occasionally ineffective, the cutting approach ensures a plant identical to the original one. To embark on this journey, obtain a lemon branch around March during the pruning season, ensuring it is still green and approximately 20 centimeters long.
Before making the cut, check for multiple buds on the branch and diligently disinfect the knife to be used. The cut should be slightly inclined. Proceed by taking a plastic bottle, cutting about 12 centimeters from the bottom, and filling it with water. Disinfect the cut end of the cutting with a garlic clove before placing it in the water.
Allow the cutting to stay in the water for a minimum of two months, observing the development of small roots. After this period, change the water and leave the cutting for an additional two months, during which you’ll witness the emergence of new leaves with vibrant colors. Approximately four to five months into the process, you can proceed to plant the lemon in a pot.
