When the lemon trees grow up, they need to change pots. The time is in the early spring before the pulp starts. The preparation before changing basin is similar to the basin with large original basin. The soil uses the acid soil with good air permeability, and the base fertilizer is applied in advance. Remove the lemon from the basin, do not break the mud at the root, remove the old soil outside, and trim the withered and old roots properly. Fill in the soil, right up and plant the lemon tree in the center of the flowerpot, and do a good job of later maintenance.

I. basin change time

When the lemon tree grows up, the plant type will become very large, so it is necessary to change pots and provide suitable flowerpots. The time should be well chosen, preferably in the early spring before the sprouting of tree pulp, which has little impact on itself. After the basin change, it is good for the growth and sprouting period and recovery.

II. Prepare basin soil

Before changing the basin, prepare a basin that is one size larger than the original one, which can provide space for later growth. The soil should also be suitable. The acid soil with good permeability can be used, and a certain amount of base fertilizer can be applied in advance to ensure a good nutrient supply. Before planting the plants, disinfect the flowerpots and soil.

III. take off the basin and repair the root

Remove the lemon from the basin, do not break the mud at the root, to prevent damage to the root system, only remove the old soil outside. The dried and old roots should be properly pruned and cut off, leaving the roots with strong growth and absorption capacity.

IV. upper basin planting

Fill the prepared soil into the flowerpot, then straighten the lemon tree, plant it in the center of the flowerpot, fill in the remaining soil, and compact the new soil near the edge of the flowerpot.
