Soil: It is best to use deep, loose and fertile soil with good drainage for cultivation. Temperature: Citron is afraid of severe cold, and the best temperature for its growth is around 25°C. Light: It likes a warm growing environment, so give it enough light and not too much shade. Moisture: Just keep the soil moist at ordinary times. A small amount of watering is needed during the flowering period and early fruit setting period.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: There are no strict requirements for the selection of soil. Deep soil is required. If the soil is loose, fertile and has good drainage, it will be better. Suitable for the growth of citron.

2. Temperature: Citron is suitable for high temperature and humid environments. Therefore, the optimal growth temperature is around 25°C. It is a relatively cold-resistant plant and may freeze to death when encountering severe cold. The temperature must be controlled well.

3. Light: The growth period requires sufficient light and no shade. It likes warm weather and will grow faster if given enough sunlight.

4. Water: Reduce watering before flower buds form. The amount causes the branch growth to gradually stop. When the flower buds are differentiated, slowly resume watering. When the pot soil is in a relatively dry state, you can sprinkle some water on the leaves in the morning and evening, and add a little water to the middle of the pot at noon. During the early stages of flowering and fruit setting, less watering is required than usual.

2. Breeding skills

1. Pruning: When pruning, you need to cut off particularly long and too dense branches, and insert supports when they bear fruit. During the growing season, it is best to combine tying with tying to keep as many branches and leaves as possible.

2. Repotting: Repotting and soiling should be done once a year during the seedling stage. After adulthood, repotting and soiling can be done every 2 years.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 , Pest pests: Pest pests include cotton-blowing scale insects, and you can use the natural enemy red ladybugs to control it. You can also spray rosin mixture, diluted 8-10 times in winter and 20 times in summer.

2. Leaf loss: The leaf loss of citron is mostly caused by freezing. It is not cold-tolerant, and a slight severe cold will affect its growth. Therefore, pay attention to protection during winter maintenance.

IV. Other questions

1 . Can it be cultivated indoors: Citron can be cultivated indoors. If cuttings are taken inside the house, the room temperature must be maintained at 25°C and a certain humidity must be maintained. However, the indoor temperature should not be too high during the fruit viewing period.

2. When does it bloom: It will bloom from the end of August to the beginning of September. Citron can freshen the air. If we create a fresh and moist environment for it, we can extend the viewing time.
