Easy step by step tutorial for growing new lime trees and lemon trees from clippings. Fun gardening project for kids, and children of all ages! Learn how to grow lemon or lime at home kitchen gardening.
Great video. Thanks for posting very encouraging that you showed us updates to fruiting all under ten minutes. Now I'm waiting for my lemon seeds to germinate so I can start taking clippings.
I watched this yesterday and you inspired me to go out today and buy a little plastic greenhouse and I did cuttings on my lemon and orange trees! I followed your instructions with the 45 degree cuts and rooting powder. I hope they grow!
Felicidades. Éste video es el mejor que he visto sobre el tema de cultivar el limonero por medio de acodos. Gracias por tomarte el tiempo y el esfuerzo para esto. Tienes un nuevo suscriptor. Congratulations. This video is the best I've seen on the subject of growing lemon trees by means of layering. Thanks for taking the time and effort for this. You have a new subscriber.
Very good video. When we transplanted our Kaffir lime tree after moving house, the tree appeared to be green and alive, but after a year it just died. Thankfully, I saved bags of leaves and limes in the freezer before moving the tree. I’m going to get a few stems off our friend and try rooting them this way. Thanks.
Putting bags over plants while they're rooting does help and that's what I used to do. I've switched to using the bottom half of clear soda bottles (or clear water bottles, apple juice - whatever bottle I find that is transparent). I cut off the top of the bottle, the part that narrows up to the spout. I take the bottom and turn it upside-down over the pot. It makes a little greenhouse, like the bag does, but it's a little bit more sturdy. Excellent video, BTW. I've never heard anyone suggest the diagonal cut that includes the notch from the leave node. Interesting tip. Looking forward to trying it.
@@Gardenclips Sure thing. The cuttings I took after watching this video have recently started showing new growth. I'll be repotting them soon. Thanks again.
I love your instruction. I try so many time but fail until I saw your video and I know what did wrong. Other people do not give instruction like you, that's why all of my cutting are dry out and dead eventually. Tomorrow I am going to cut some branches and try again.
Thank You GardenClips! I really enjoyed your video. You make growing limes look so easy. I suppose your method would work for all fruit trees. I am going to save your video and start growing my own trees. Thanks. New Subscriber.
Great video and I will definitely try this out, I did have one question. While this does make a clone of the parent tree which will produce true to type, wouldn't it be better to have a grafted plant onto a more hardy/vigorous rootstock? What are the drawbacks to a non-grafted citrus tree? Thanks again.
Terrific and super informative video! I live in Los Angeles. If the weather is good and in the low 60's at night and 80's during the day, can I leave my cuttings in a covered container outside, or should they be inside no matter what when starting them?
Awesome video! So if I understand right, keep using the plastic bag until you have some new leaves an inch or so big. How much and how often should I water it? I started two clippings per your instructions a few weeks ago and have just been spraying the dirt to get it damp. More?
Dear Mr. Garden clip, I have planted few cutting of lemon. On 30th of dec 2017, using rooting Harmon and honey on few cutting. When do I expect it to get Bud on these. As on date i.e. 5 jan 2018 cuttings are ok.
I plant a citrus cut 7 months ago it saw last week a 3 mm sprout I used honey instead of hormone I put some cinnamon barks at top of soil before watering it and covered with plastic bag I put the pot on a dish so I fill the dish with water so the soil suck the water from base, but it took all those months. maybe coz I don't make a hole in bag for ventilation!
James says watering once or twice a week while the bag on should be good. His general rule is if the bag has no condensation then you need to water. And if your plant is moldy then you're watering too much! ;-) He says no fertilizer until after you transplant into a pot, and then one developed for citrus is a safe bet. A search for citrus fertilizer will turn these up. After you transplant and the bag is off, you'll need to water a little more often, probably every other day or as needed to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Good luck!
The lemon plant video on growing lemon is a good interesting one, for me anyway ; I was just scrolling to see what I' wanted to look at and; decided on the "Easy go" video. I' wanted see a '"lime growing"" video, I like limes a lot. This is a good one, and it does look very easy to plant and grow Lemon's with this video. In this selection of videos
Thanks for watching Jan! They are all pretty much the same, so we use whatever is available. A quick google search for rooting hormone will turn up a bunch.
I like your method. The only problem might be is that the resulting plant won't be dwarfed - since it's coming above the dwarfing stock from the original lime tree. The only solution I think is to graft onto dwarfing stock. However, it appears you've had good luck keeping the plant small and for flowering to begin regardless. Excellent!
