Step 5: Transplanting Your Cuttings
Gently remove the cuttings from the water, being careful not to damage the fragile roots. Plant each cutting in its pot, ensuring that the roots are covered with soil and the top leaves are above the surface. Water the newly planted cuttings thoroughly.
Step 6: Provide Optimal Conditions
Place your potted lemon tree cuttings in a sunny location, preferably receiving 8-12 hours of sunlight daily. If sunlight is limited, consider using grow lights to supplement. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. You can use a plastic bag or plastic wrap to create a mini greenhouse effect, which will help maintain humidity around the cuttings. Secure the bag or wrap with rubber bands or plant ties.
Step 7: Monitor Growth and Care
Keep a close eye on your lemon tree cuttings as they continue to grow. As the roots establish and the plant grows, you may gradually remove the plastic covering. Ensure that the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged, and feed your young lemon tree with a balanced citrus fertilizer according to the package instructions.
