RE: An old fighting girlfriend, or how to cook kittens for dinner
You can grow fruit in potted plants on your window sill? You have a much greener thumb than I have! I can barely keep my potted oregano and rosemary alive. And I have a starter kit of kitchen herbs that is now more than a year old because I keep forgetting to set it up. Luckily, the seeds for the cat grass are quite viable even though they're three years old. Oh, the expired stuff in my home! Don't look at what my "best by" date would be; i think I passed it before I turned 50 ))
This is nothing complicated, the main thing is to create suitable conditions)
Lemon loves moisture on the leaves, and can tolerate subzero temperatures
All that threatens him is the loss of leaves
Oregano and rosemary also feel wonderful in the room :)
Probably, you have a very busy schedule, and it’s hard to find the time to look after the flowerpots :( :)
My wife, a fan of ornamental plants, in particular violets
I will try to make time and write about them on my blog
And about lemons, also in plans to write, but my strength is still too small for frequent publications and answers
We need "strength" (steem power) to post often? I didn't know...
Thanks for the tip - growing lemon trees, indoors, in pots? Who, me? I cannot imagine, but you've got me thinking I might try it now!
Tomorrow, I swear, I'll get the seed starter kit going.
My oregano and rosemary are shriveling and not feeling so wonderful. I'll have to figure out how to take better care of them. (Re-potting, to start with?)
Yes, alas, such a restriction in order to stop spam, and this condition bound my fingers with strong bonds :(
It is a pity that with ordinary lemon seeds, the tree that grows will not bear fruit and will not bloom :(
Oh, what a wonderful fragrance! And even more, it has a healing effect on the eyes.
I do not know if this is true, at least I read about it.
I’m sorry, Carol, but you bought these wonderful herbs for nothing.
I explain >>> it’s much cheaper and more interesting to buy a bag of seeds and sow them yourself :)
Why feed other people's mouths?)
These plants are unpretentious to care for, moderate watering, and a medium-sized pot (these plants have relatively large roots)
They live 3-4 years.
Plants can be divided into parts, carefully separated together with the soil, they love the sunny side, but they can also in the shade of growth :)
At the expense of the lemon, try to find it in your city, and buy, if possible, a whole or a young branch with several leaves :)
And let me know before you buy (photo)
And I'll tell you how to care for him!)
Thank you for all the information, @borodaus!
I haven't spotted lemon branches or trees for sale.
I'll seed my own herbs next time. :)
Meanwhile, daughter is in mourning over the little cypress tree I bought her before Christmas. It looks green but it's dry and brittle. I've been pruning it today and can find no live stems on it. Poor little tree. I'd hoped to plant it outdoors and see it reach 15 feet... maybe next year!
@carolkean Here's Carol food for thought :)

Alas, I don’t know about cypress, but maybe it’s worth watering it, for good luck, and maybe luck will smile at you and the tree will be restored?)
I've been trying to get the soil dried out - daughter brought it home a week ago, and it was waterlogged. She kept the plant too close to her radiator since December 1. By Feb. 15, all the little branches were dry and brown and brittle. I might look for a replacement and let her believe she didn't kill it... thanks for the suggestions. I've kept clipping in search of signs of life, but it's all dry and brown. Poor little tree.
