Growing a lemon tree from a lemon seed can take years, but using a lemon cutting and onion as a natural growth stimulant speeds up the process. The onion contains natural hormones that promote rooting, and the water propagation method guarantees quick germination before transplanting into the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Choose a healthy branch from a mature lemon tree.
Cut it at a 45-degree angle to help with water absorption.
Remove the lower leaves, leaving only 2-3 leaves at the top.
Using Onions as a Root Stimulant
Cut a fresh onion in half.
Make a small hole in the middle of the onion.
Insert the lemon cutting into the hole so that it touches the juice in the onion.
Water Rooting Method
Fill a glass or jar with clean, filtered water.
Place the onion with the lemon cutting in the water so that only the bottom of the stem is submerged.
Cover the top with a plastic bag to maintain humidity.
Maintaining Proper Growing Conditions
Place the jar in a bright, warm spot, but avoid direct sunlight.
Change the water every 3-4 days to keep it fresh.
After 2-4 weeks, small roots should appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transplanting into soil
When the roots have reached 5-7 cm, transplant the cutting into a pot with fertile soil.
Use a mixture of compost, garden soil and sand for better drainage.
Water lightly and keep the plant in a shady place until it is established.
