Is it possible to grow lemon yourself at home, at least as an ornamental plant? What kind of care does he need?

Hello. Thanks to my grandmother, we always had juicy, sweet lemons at home. They cannot be compared to store bought ones. I'll share her secret)
She grew a tree from a seed and watered it only with settled water. Lemon really doesn’t like the proximity of other flowers, only its own kind (citrus fruits). And be sure not to move it or move it from place to place.
Do you need to buy soil specifically for citrus fruits in the store? Or can I get a regular one at the dacha?
Better take store bought. You can make the soil mixture yourself, but it is not easy: it is recommended to add humus, river sand and coal. Lemon requires a lot of organic matter; ordinary garden soil will prevent it from bearing fruit well.
Of course, to plant a lemon, you need a suitable mixture so that the soil is not heavy, but rather loose, which will allow air to penetrate to the roots of the lemon and provide good drainage.
I also can’t grow lemons at home. I tried several times, everything is fine until flowering and the ovaries appear, and then the tree begins to dry out, the leaves fall off and eventually the ovaries fall off.
I also think lemon likes moisture?
In any case, it grows well outdoors in the subtropics.
Most likely, the plant really does not have enough moisture, especially with the beginning of the heating season, although I try to humidify the air, place containers of water on the batteries and spray them regularly, but this apparently is not enough.
In order for a lemon tree to grow fruit when grown indoors, it is necessary to graft the tree. And if the grafting is done correctly, then in about 3 years you can expect a harvest.
Perhaps your lemon had too many ovaries, and it simply did not stretch them out. It is believed that there should be at least 10 leaves per fruit. All other ovaries need to be cut off.
no, ordinary soil will not work. From my own experience, I’ll say you need to take one already prepared from a gardener, for example. The lemon must be well watered before transplanting. The soil should not contain only peat, it must be mixed with sand and soil.
I had soil from the store and a special stand for branches. The lemon grew beautifully while it was standing on the balcony, but as soon as it was moved into the apartment in the fall, it began to dry out. She sprayed and watered it carefully, but still he couldn’t stand the fight with the battery. Although I wouldn’t say that it’s very hot here.
Yes, it’s best to buy store-bought ones, especially for citrus fruits. Everything you need for growth is there, all the supplements and in the right quantities. And don’t forget to spray it and put it in the sun. And you can also fertilize with humate, in about 3-4 years it will bloom, I answer.
When it comes to growing lemons, they love high temperatures. It is advisable to place it near a window for more light. But do not forget that in winter the batteries are hot.
I tried to grow lemons at home twice, but it just didn’t work. I probably still poured a lot of water, and the temperature was not the same. There are a lot of tips, I will definitely take them into account.
I also wanted to grow a lemon, but it never sprouted. Watered it and kept it warm. He misses that warmth. Maybe some special conditions are needed?
They imprisoned me. Lemon grew indoors. It is necessary to constantly moisten the soil when planting a seed. The land is purchased, mixed with ordinary land. Try planting a few seeds. One of them will germinate in any case. Good luck to all.
And I tried and also failed. I’ll take the advice of my interlocutors and try again. But I think the humidity in my apartment is not sufficient for the plant, especially in winter when the heating is turned on. It is also important to fertilize correctly; after all, lemon is an exotic plant.
No matter how much I tried, I still couldn’t grow a full-fledged tree; aphids attack it and it becomes impossible to breed it. I am very jealous of those who have succeeded in something.
Why as decorative? Lemons bear fruit well. But for this you need a grafting from a varietal lemon.A relative had a lemon, and the fruits grew to almost a kilogram. The bush died while moving...
The lemon grew in our room for about 10 years and never began to bear fruit. In the end, the tree died. The air in the room is too dry for him. In addition, with excessive watering, the roots may begin to rot, which is most likely what happened. Without grafting a cultivated bud, the lemon will bear fruit, but you will have to wait a long time.
