Citrus limon

How to care

Citrus × limon, commonly known as the lemon tree, is a popular indoor and outdoor plant known for its fragrant flowers and fruit. It thrives in bright, direct sunlight and requires well-draining soil. Regular watering is essential, but the soil should dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Fertilize during the growing season to support fruit production.

Edible parts

Lemon fruit is widely used in culinary applications around the world. The juice is a common ingredient in beverages, marinades, and dressings, providing a tart flavor. The zest, or outer rind, is often used to add a citrusy aroma and flavor to baked goods and savory dishes.
