The reader asked: Limonero
- Hello. Three years ago, I was given a lemon photo. I bought the boat and filled it with dirt that brought me from three different places. I threw the plant there. It's grown really well, really hard. But when it comes to bearing fruit, it has problems. In the last two years he has brought flowers and it seems that he has taken them well.

The remedy is not difficult: to change it in a larger pot, as large as possible. Put rich soil: black soil from the orchard, sand and old manure one-third. Then, from spring to fall, once a month, remove the sheepmeat or terrón from a cloth and place it in a container filled with water. When the water gets blackened, water with it. Finally, do not put the boat underneath any dish, let the remaining water go easily. In a couple of years we will see new photos...
