Step-by-Step Guide:
Select Healthy Lemon Cuttings: Start by choosing healthy lemon cuttings from a mature lemon tree. Cuttings should be about 6-8 inches long and have at least two sets of leaves.
Prepare Rooting Hormone: Dip the bottom end of each cutting into a rooting hormone. This hormone will encourage root growth and boost your chances of success.
Plant the Cuttings: Fill your plastic pots or containers with a well-draining potting mix. Make a hole in the center of each pot and insert the treated lemon cutting. Firmly pat the soil around the cutting to ensure it’s stable.
Create a Mini Greenhouse: To create a conducive environment for rapid growth, place each potted cutting inside a clear plastic bag. Secure the bag around the pot with a rubber band or string, creating a mini greenhouse effect.
Mist Regularly: Lemon cuttings need humidity to thrive. Use a spray bottle to mist the inside of the plastic bags regularly, ensuring a consistently moist environment.
