Growing LEMON TREE Time Lapse 

mine too..then it died of citrus scale ( I didn't know what it was at the time )

@@pineapplerindm what’s citrusscale

@@ibra673 citrusscale are insects that target citrus I think

Read the description. You might want to check your soil and use fertilizer. Using grow lights helps as well.

How? Mine is 2 years old and is 1 meter with large leaves

oh look the guy who thinks he's funny

@@WaqarAli-uj7mpit is funny and also you could not be any more funny, I mean you have 0 likes😂

@@JellyVR7 that's gonna hurt in the morning

Yeah, until I started gardening I didn't realize that citrus trees are large shrubs! Apparently the fruit towards the bottom is the sweetest, so I've started letting my trunks grow some low branches. We'll see!

Citrus trees actually dont grow like a conventional tree. They grow a little bit "like they want". To actually get a "tree", you have to regularily remove the saplings from the bottom area.

I've seen lots of lemon and orange trees grow wide instead of tall. Lots of folks trim the bottom branches to encourage it upwards, especially if you live in a place that floods seasonally.

I have a lemon tree that I planted 8 years ago and grown inside. It is tall and only has some dry branches on the sides

@@jennhoff03 - 😳Large shrubs? Oh no! I live in an apartment complex and I have one lemon tree growing beautifully and one Meyer lemon tree I just started. They’re in big pots. I guess I won’t get any actual lemons bc I’m going to have to keep it trimmed 👀😒 I’m glad I saw your comment🙏

I use neem oil to get rid of those tiny aphids. Works very well. I still have to pull them off by hand, but once I sprayed the neem oil the third time, they haven't come back.

@@aziris7257 Thank you for your help, I'll try it !

When you use fertilizer regularily and they are strong without any additional health problems, the tree itself might fight pretty successfully against the bugs. Simply because it has the resources to do so. With Aziris tips, your trees will be out of danger in no time.

You should spray them with water boiled with orange peels and dish soap, or buy lady bugs and praying mantis to put in the trees. If you’re getting spiders you can spray peppermint oil on it too

Even using citrus peels left in water over a week or so, spray them on the plants, it keeps the bugs away and gives nourishment

Evolution. Not god designing plants.

@@nickolaspedrimiranda3372 I understand that you believe life can come from non-life, which violates everything we know about Biology. You probably also believe the universe came into existence from nothing, and for no reason, without any cause, which is also a violation of the simplest scientific principle of cause and effect. I understand what you believe and you're free to believe whatever you want. But I don't have enough faith to believe what you believe. Sorry.

@@plantnewbie5188 Yeah and God which created everything also comes from nothing makes perfect sense. Religion is all about faith which is literally belief without evidence.

Agree 100%. It's absurd to think that life can happen all by itself from lifeless matter. If Darwin could have seen the mindblowing complexity happening inside of one plant cell, he would have thrown his work away. Now look how much more advanced our knowledge is and we still have folks thinking it came from nothing. It's beyond ridiculous, and yes it is a faith whether they admit this or not.

@@firstnamelastname2552 Darwin knew what cells were and had seen plant cells. They were discovered in 1665.

AHAHHAHAHA Made my day

🍋🤌

Bahahahahaaaaa I laughed so hard at this comment 😂😂😂😂😂

I don't-- I don't get it

@@Alizudo 🤌

You also came from tiny speŕm

Yes, so hard to believe that as we all cling to this tiny spinning blue spec that contains everything the entirety of our species has ever known, hurdling through endless space.

@@Lost_n_Found_1 it’s truly quite precious. I find myself wishing I could bear witness to everything that can be observed, explored, and discovered. but alas, time won’t allow it. if only I could.

​@@VeeeerBGMIYeah💀💀

mine is 7 mnths old, and it grew 5 cm tall, i gave it proper care but i am not sure if its because its winter, not enough energy for the plant, its busy adapting or growing a root system, the container its in or the soil doesnt have enough nitrogen

Lemon trees can take ages to fruit, especially grown from seed. There's lots a reasons that they might not fruit at all. Just comes down to how the fruit the seed came from was grown, if it was from a grafted tree, it can take up to 5 years or longer

@@jackoleightono6622 Blink and 5 years has gone. Don't know where the last 15 years went, should have grown a Mango tree in that time.🤣

@@DavidJohnson-dc8lu i got an orange tree that is already 17 years old, but it has never bloomed yet :)

@@Valentin359 That is unfortunate, but the great thing with time and the way crops work is that we can plant another or different tree year after year, for years....abundance is limitless, only giving up is failure. I'm going to do an apple tree this weekend, one thing is for sure, 10 years will pass and someone will benefit from that tree eventually.

Lemons like slightly acidic soil, 5.7 to 6.0 pH is perfect. You can achieve this by watering them with black or green tea every 2-4 weeks and additionally laying the used tea leaves on top of the soil, this will act as a slowly releasing fertilizer (tea leaves are nitrogen bombs and also have a bit of potassium and phosphorus). Citruses especially need lots of Potassium and Iron, you can get them from ground organic banana peels. Non-organics have it, too, but bring pesticides along with them which cancels all the benefits out. There are also citrus soils and fertilizers that do all this work for you, just remember to use them regularly. Water the lemon tree every two days once it has successfully germinated into a plant, during the hottest of mid-summer every day and give them all the sun you can get. Water it more lightly during winter, once or twice a week is fine, just make sure the top most layer of the soil looks "drained and dry", stick your finger in one inch to be entirely sure. Lastly, you want to make sure to not drop unter 21° C or 70° F during the night time and generally take it inside on very hot days (32°C/90°F and above). During winter, 5 to 12 °C is perfect, they need this to build up resistance. This is where many people fail to grow lemons, because they think lemons always need all the warmth they can get during the whole year and while this is true for some asian varieties, the more popular and hardy Meyer's Lemon likes some chills during the winters. Happy Growing 🍋 :)

@@エルフェンリート-l3i Much obliged. When you say water, do you mean fully saturate?

@@ralusek citrus doesn't really need much thing, just use soil...you could also add some vermicompost, but yeah...they love water very much, and need full sun with no shade as well

Asumming you can get it to flower which on many trees depends on day length and/or temperature queues (try to figure out what lemons need) it will need to be pollinated if you keep it indoors it means by hand. I vaguely remember t

Definitely! Citrus need lots and lots of sun.

That lemons do not selfpolinate well so you will need more than one maybe

Yes but lemons don't grow true to type so it won't be like the lemon you took the seed from. It will also take wayy longer to fruit

Sometimes, I had two lemon trees and one of them was able to give me a lemon without grafting

@@capsiat oh, i hope mines gonna do the same, thank you for helping!

You might want to graft or grow one from cutting to get lemons sooner (~3 years), that will also assure you to get a variety that is 100% like the one from the tree that was used. Meanwhile growing from seed will take longer (max 10 years) to fruit, and you won't know what type of lemon it will be (could be big, medium, small, extremely sweet, extremely sour, dull etc)

look at the desc, he used citrus fertilizer to boost up the growth.

My orange tree is already 17 years old, but it has never bloomed yet. They really need a lot of light and a very large pot.

@@Valentin359 some citrus trees don't flower at all (not to bring your hopes down).

Cut off the top of the plant. After that there will be branches.

@@chiquitathechicken tysm

im sure store bought is just the same damn parent tree

You need to remove the outer skin, that prevents germination.

@@GeoffryWK I have 5 blooming citrus trees that I planted from seeds without doing what you said. And I didn't soak them in a napkin.

@@GeoffryWK how

you can add some cinamon to prevent fungus growth

His goal isnt to produce fruit. His goal is to show a time lapse of the growth process from seed to sapling to tree. A years growth or less. If it bears a veggie,fruit in this time then great. If not, also great. Lol

@@countbeccula My comment was aimed more towards people watching the video than the guy who made it. I know the video is purely for entertainment's sake but it could also easily lead someone to think that it's possible to grow a lemon tree from seed in a small pot and have it be healthy and produce lemons.

U never know if a tree or plant grown from seed can produce fruits, i planted once avocado tree from seed and gave me tasty avocados

Almost certainly that magic water he adds to all his plants which makes them grow so much better than the plants us mere mortals try to grow.

@@RylanStorm i thought it was plant food, ugh i wish i bought plant food at builders today

I left mine on a shelf. They were exposed to light. All 8 germinated and I put them into a pot today
