Lemon Tree Fertilizer: If your lemon plant is just full of leaves and is not bearing fruits, then you can try the black mustard home hack that is viral on Instagram. Know the method of making power booster water, the right time to use it and important gardening tips for the plant to bear fruits quickly.
Lemon Plant Care: If the lemon plant in your house is green but is not bearing fruits, then it could be due to lack of nutrients, wrong irrigation or not getting enough sunlight. In such a situation, a desi gardening hack is becoming quite viral on social media, especially Instagram. It is recommended to use black mustard water in this hack. It is claimed that this home remedy can improve the growth of the plant and help in producing flowers and fruits. However, there is no scientific confirmation of this claim, so consider this as a home experiment only.
Prepare power booster water from black mustard
According to this viral tip, soak a bowl of black mustard in water for 3-4 days. After this, filter that water and add about 10 times as much clean water to it. Now pour this solution slowly around the roots of the lemon plant. Keep in mind that do not pour the solution directly on the stem, but pour it into the soil around the roots. This can activate the microorganisms present in the soil and help in providing nutrition to the plant.
When to use?
It is considered best to use this solution in the morning or evening when the sunlight is not strong. Insert it only at an interval of every 15 to 20 days. Using too much can upset the balance of the soil. If the plant is planted in a pot, first moisten the soil slightly and then add this solution.

Proper care of the plant is also important
Only one home remedy will not make the lemon plant bear fruit. For this, the plant should get at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily. Add rotted cow dung or vermicompost from time to time and keep pruning dry or weak branches. Also, do not allow water to accumulate in the pot or ground, because excess moisture can damage the roots and affect the growth of the plant.

Take these precautions before adopting viral hack
Gardening hacks that go viral on Instagram and other social media platforms may prove useful for many people, but they do not have the same effect on every plant and every soil. Therefore, try this remedy with black mustard only in limited quantities. If the plant is affected by any disease or insect, treat it first. Adopting these home remedies along with regular care, balanced nutrition, adequate sunlight and proper irrigation can increase the chances of better growth and fruit production of your lemon plant.
