Yes, you read that right—you can grow lemon trees from cuttings using a banana! This clever, chemical-free trick is not only eco-friendly but surprisingly effective.
Why Bananas?
They’re more than just a tasty snack!
Stimulates Root Growth – Packed with potassium and phosphorus, bananas naturally support strong root development.
Locks in Moisture – Helps keep your cutting hydrated during early stages.
Totally Natural – No synthetic rooting hormones needed.
How to Propagate Lemon Trees with Banana Power:
Prep Your Cutting – Take a healthy 6–8 inch stem from a lemon tree. Cut at a diagonal and remove the lower leaves.
Banana Boost – Insert the cut end into a small chunk of banana to soak up those nutrients.
Plant It – Place your banana-tipped cutting into well-draining soil. Cover lightly.
Water with Care – Keep the soil moist (not soggy!) and place in bright, indirect light.
Be Patient – In 4–6 weeks, roots should begin to form. Once the plant shows strong new growth, it’s ready for transplanting!
