Step 1: Take a lemon cutting from the plant where the node or leaf is protruding from. This is where the lemon tree roots will form from the stem.
Step 2: Now remove the leaf so it will promote and grow roots. Make sure the cutting has a couple leaves on them up top.
Step 3: Cut the existing leaves in half to help preserve energy and water loss.
Step 4: Use a powder rooting hormone. Dip the end of the cutting in the hormone powder and tap the excess off.
Step 5: Take a planting pot with potting mix. Plant the lemon cutting into the soil. The key to this is keeping the soil moist. So if you are concerned about the soil drying out place plastic wrap around the top of the pot without damaging the cutting.
After 4-8 weeks you will have roots and a brand new baby clone of your current lemon tree!

How to Grow LEMON Tree from Cuttings to Clone Fruit
I absolutely love how you went into detail between the difference between clone and Seed I use the same analogy when explain the difference myself you don't look like your mother or your father but you do have traits where is the Clone would be an identical copy
Thanks Tyler :)
Thanks for this video. It would be helpful to know how long to wait for roots to form.
I like to take stick or other implement similar to diameter of cutting stem to make hole before I stick the cutting in the potting medium. I think this helps to prevent rubbing off the rooting hormone if just pushing into the soil without this small prepared hole. I was wondering about the as I have an "Improved Meyer Lemon" tree, which I 'assumed' was a hybrid plant and the seed could be unsuitable for propagation.
Thanks Susan!
I started doing that too because it just makes sense. 🤣❤️
Definitely going to try this from a friend's lemon tree!!! Just getting into gardening, new sub 😊
Did you do it? How did it go?
Is it on fruiting?... After how many months cutting propogated lemon plant gives lemon??
So you can't root them in water?
Thanks for sharing how to propagate lemon tree cuttings.
Had 3 successful new growths
Followed directions
Thank you
for a more organic growth, you can use a mature Aloe Vera by cutting a branch and using the Aloe gel as your cloning agent to promote root growth.
Thanks Jimmy!

Today I gathered clippings and stem cuttings from local citrus trees for rooting.....
How long does the cutting have to be fresh ? I purchased cutting through post after 3weeks the cutting looks fresh would It work with rooting powder ? Uk
Your Video Is Very HelpFul To Understand Plants Problem Dear.
I dont use a special strategy nor hornones. After pruning i put random branches in moist potting soil. It wont die and will start growing fast.
Great instructional video. I'll post my results later!
Is ur plant grown?
Is it giving fruits?
After how many months cutting propogated lemon plant gives lemon??
I will be trying this this week tks.
Did this method work for your lemon buddy?
Did this method work for your lemon buddy?
So, when propagating, should we stay away from the branches that have thorns on them as you said they are non-fruit bearing branches? or will lemons still grow if we use a thorned branch for propagation?
Buffalogirl 68, I have not had a problem with thorn branches as propagation cuttings with lemons, Lima and Tahitian limes. they will grow also.
@Kevin Tao it takes too long. Is faster to propagate.
Very smart!
Thanks for sharing. If that tree was a grafted tree, would you be able to do the slips like this and get the same plant, much more would it bear the same lemons?
As long as you take cuttings above the graft it will be the same fruit.
If you take a cutting or sucker from below the graft it will be whatever the rootstock is.
You can grow a seed and then graft onto it though that would be cool to try
lol good idea
Kind of like air layering
Can you root a limb with thorns. Will it produce lemons. You were not very clear on it.
Just tried this with my meyor. Hoping for goid results. Thanks
Did this method work?
Is it correct to wrap the cuttings in a damp cloth and then put them in a box and close them until they take root? Thank you
yes, that will work
Thank you I have been trying did well with the seeds
Can you make a clipping with a bigger branch?
My question is how long should I leave the plastic over the cutting in the pot a month 5 weeks thank you for help
Very helpful !
Thanks for the feedback 😀
Another option for organic cloning agent is a willow tree - you can take a few branch cuttings and make a tea with them overnight - that tea is then sprayed on the cuttings as their first couple of waterings (do not use tap or chlorinated water ).
Oh wow I didn’t know that Ty. Does it have rooting hormone in it? Or is it just something else that helps the roots grow?
So, specifically RO?
thank you very interesting.
@@NMW80 The way that it works can be attributed to two substances that can be found within the Salix (Willow) genus, namely, indolebutyric acid (IBA) and salicylic acid (SA).
Indolebutyric acid (IBA) is a plant hormone that stimulates root growth. It is present in high concentrations in the growing tips of willow branches. By using the actively growing parts of a willow branch, cutting them, and soaking them in water, we can get significant quantities of IBA to leach out into the water.
Have you ever had citrus cuttings have their leaves curl?
Underwatering
Love this video. !! Can’t wait to start some form the tree I’ve been‘raiding’ . I’ll let you know what happens.
Did this work for u?
The citrus tree I started from, what I thought was a Meyer Lemon tree seed, is now producing delicious oranges. So far, I haven't had any luck in propagating cuttings from my orange tree.
I love surprises!
try a air layer. Takes about 6 to 8 weeks but works great.
@@donaldcook5796 I'll try that. Thanks.
Will a Meyer lemon tree grow lemons on an offshoot tree that starts from the mother’s tree roots?
thank you for your video , but i have a question after this process where i put that cutting ... like shade e area or non direct sunlight area
Direct light. Aprrox 10hrs
Do youhave videos of the things you have put into potatoes to show the rooting that took place?
Carrie Lonsdale
I have tried with potatoes and failed
Can you place the cutting in water to produce roots before planting?
best thing for that is to place them in a clone bin with a sprayer...just water alone i have not had success
@@mygardenchannel A clone bin?
Does it need light? I have heard mixed answers. Some say it HAS to be in light. Others that it HAS to be in shade?
Hi! Quick question. Do you keep the pot in direct sun or in the shade? Thanks in advance.
In the shade, wrap with plastic. Create humidity for the soil to stay moisture
My cutting has been in the pot for approximately 2 months, and during that time has lost its leaves, but the cutting remained green. It now has blossoms and flowers, but no leaves yet. It is now spring and I'm thinking about putting it in the ground but thinking I should hold off until it has leaves. Any thoughts???
Hi..when you are saying vertical shoots, it's at about 44 seconds in, what is it your pinching off? Is it a leaf? I have four lemon trees they are 3 years old this summer, however they barely started to grow their own extra branches out of the main stem, I have cut the stem back over the years and new branches have grown from that, but this is the first time they've created their own branches off existing areas. I'm still learning about the lemons and the right way to prune and fertilize and so on. Thank you for the help.
Nice video, thanks for sharing 👍
Shouldn’t we get rid of the leaves?
Excellent video 😊
Thank you.
Which has more success? This method or air layering? I have a lemon tree at my rental i want to Clone in a small amount of time before i move out.
Hello could you explain in more basic words which branch exactly needs to be cut? Like do I count from the bottom or...? Also this method will allow raising a plant with fruits right?
Do you have the results of that cloning?
So I rooted a bouquetier de nice sour orange cutting and it's been three months . I checked and found roots to the bottom of the little pot. It's still in my terrarium but I'm wondering when I should remove it or if I should keep it there to produce more roots . It's a large aquarium with moist rocks at the bottom but an air hole at the top. I have one more cutting that grew a few leaves, dropped them, grew more but has not rooted. I'm keeping it there in case it will eventually. The other cuttings rotted because they were in rock wool and too wet so the soil was the better way to go. Now that I have the one baby that rooted, I want to make sure it survives lol
My son and the rest of the family love mandarins and we ended up getting a seed out of one and it it's about 8inches talk with several different leaves on it. Do you think it will ever bare fruit ever, I know I more then likely will not be the same, also I have several lemon trees and 1 pear tree all from seed. I did it out for fun with my son but would be neat if one of these actually would produce fruit too.
I don't know where you live, but if you are in USA you can order grafting material for pocket change, it is a Government run project to reduce citrus trees from dying from diseases caused by bad grafting material.
So, you can order some, watch a tutorial on how to graft citrus trees and pass it on your son too.
Also, they may not be able to fruit if you don't have the right weather, but that is not something you are going to be able to fix.
If you grew it from a seed, it's ok. Sometimes it doesn't taste great like the parent tree, but it still can be sweet. Yes it can bear fruits. I use organic fertilizers and even seafood peelings. Sounds funny but all Asians do it. When I have boiled shrimp, I used the leftovers shells and buried it in the by the root. Make sure you don't injured or hit the shovel on the roots. It works. A lot of my friends had sour fruit and I did it several times for them. Their trees are now sweet. My family and relatives did that to countless of trees. Take care of it. Regularly water your trees. Make sure soil is moist but not soaking wet. Also, your mandarin tree should be far from sour trees like lemon tree. If root touches, it can be sour.
The need for rooting hormone always shakes up my mind! Like how does it even happen naturally in the nature without the concentrated rooting hormone? Wheneve I try without it this just doesn't work.
Can it be done without the cloning hormone?
My orange tree has been doing horrible for the past 3 or 4 years . My tree limbs look like they have been burned. I have fertilizer it and did everything I have found online. Now I am just trying to grown a tree from my tree I already have in my yard . Bad news we had a horrible freeze and now praying it comes back. I have 2 cuttings in a Ozarka gallon jug .I cut the jug in half so I could take the top off then put sand in the bottom. I do dip it in the hormone growth the one with white and green container . It has been in the jug for 2 months praying it is going to live ! Do you have any suggestions one of the clipping I can still see green but not on the other.
Thanks for sharing sir.
How long for fruits..mine grew a double branch now amd spikes
After you put the cutting in the jar , do you water it everyday, and you have to cover plastic on the top of the jar ?
How long it takes for the bag to be around the lemon and what to do when you transplant your plant
Does it have to be a node? How do you prune these short cuttings as they grow, just let them grow however?
pruning wont happen for a while because you want the new plant to get and store all the energy it can... Yes, it has to be a node
@@mygardenchannel thank you 🙏 I’ll just let them grow wild for a few years then. I was trying to figure out how to get a tall main leader but since my cutting was only about 5 inches tall last year when I did it, it’s just sending out off shoots every which way and not necessarily a main vertical stem so didn’t know what to do. It’s probably a few inches taller but no main leader growing
Thank you for sharing.
How long would it take the cuttings to produce fruit?
Does it save time if I cut a larger cuttings? Is "the bigger the better" rule applies?
Thank you in advance for the reply.
Bigger the better, bigger the cutting is going to be harder to root. Closer to fruit that way
Truth Hurts the older the wood the harder it would be to root I would think. I would just get a few cuttings of different sizes etc and see if you can root some older wood but also use the first year branches too so you at least have some that will take.
@@NMW80 hi, did experiment succeeded? And pls tell me in how many months this cutting propogated plant gives fruits??
Had success placing the in distilled water ph to about a 5.9.
ROOTS IN ABOUT 16 DAYS.
Hi my friend. I am from Croatia - mediterranean climate. I have a land that is near natural pond. So whenever that pond fills with rain, my land gets super moistured, almost like mud. So the question would be, is there any fruit that can grow in such conditions, with such high moisture for longer period ?
I know there are vegetables that can grow in mud, but it is a problem to take care of them, so i would rather plant some fruit trees.
Just did one, how long does it take to get roots?
So put a plastic over it but don't worry about it because Plastics not touching anyways?
Did I get that right?
Lemon tree stems are way too waxy to absorb the rooting hormone. I scrap the waxy coating off about 1/2 inch with a razor, they root faster this way.
Great video. Going to try it. What’s the average lifespan of citrus green from cuttings?
is it faster to grow a tree from cuting or is it better to grow it from seed
jesus varela-Definately much faster growing it from a cutting👍🏼
So sir its better to take a branch from a dwarf/meyer lemmon and propagate it so i can have the exact fruit to harvest? thanks
So i planted a seed and my plant has thorns. Will this tree have fruit? Is the thorns ok?
I like your video, but I do belive you would get even better results if you exposed more of the cambium layer too before rooting hormone is added.
Does it affect the cutting if you Don have pant it right away?
Hi, my picture is of my lemon tree that I grew from seed about a year ago, when should I prune it to encourage branching?
Kyle Kwartel how is your lemon tree growing now?
I’m curious, did you try to clone your tree?
Mikayla Sequeira I have tonnes of baby lemon trees now. I got heaps of lemon seeds to sprout it’s awesome lol I will have many lemons in a few years. They need a nice warm temperature to sprout, I got mine to sprout inside plastic zip lock bag and paper towel method by sitting on top of my pc where it stays nice and warm. My lemons were from coles supermarket and Wilson’s fruit n veges market Australia. I’m sure most lemon seeds will grow most are non gmo in Australia but I’m not sure about other places.
I have blossoms and buds at the end of my branches... Do I trim below the as well or do I leave them? Can I take a long branch and take multiple clippings from the same branch by cutting it in half or 1/3's?
Probably you have seen other videos already, but in case you have not, my understanding is blossoms and buds absorb too much energy from a growing tree and should be removed even on the first/second year to encourage growth. And yes I saw multiple videos using multiple cuttings from same branch.
How quickly would it fruit from this method ? Thanks
I try my but how come it didn’t work?
Thank you Sir, I have a question.
1. The Mother plant itself grown from a cutting. Would the cutting taken from such mother plant be effective?
yes certainly
@@greenthumb6033 Thank you
If I take cuttings from the meyer dwarf that was grafted on some other root system, will the cuttings become large trees?
Thanks Hawk.
Yes
hi tnx for your video, i have citrus tree for 4yrs now planted from seeds but until now no fruit yet pls help
need find fruit tree and graft to your tree
Can you do the same thing with oranges? I mean if you have an orange tree that you bought that actually is doing well?
Is it on fruiting?... After how many months cutting propogated lemon plant gives lemon??
This method failed many times. I tried 5 times with 20 cutting each time on lemon and orange tree cuttings 5 times with 20 cuttings each time ending in complete failure. Then I tried it with a LIMA citrus tree , 20 cuttings and 11 of them took and worked. Tried it with pomegranate cuttings and almost every one of 40 cuttings worked. Also used rooting hormone every darn time. So i went to Walmart and just bought a lemon tree already grown for 12 dollars and it gave fruit the first season. Perfect Eureka lemons. 12 bucks only and problem solved.
Why not use honey as a rooting hormone.
easier to buy the trees almost grown and Walmart sells them on sale cheap. 12 bucks a lemon tree that fruits that year. 15 bucks an avocado tree that fruits the next year. I too busy acquiring property to spend that much time . I just like harvesting now.
M Ppp that’s awesome and cheap. It’s like 35 bucks for a Lemon tree where I live.
becksta29: Word of caution. You probably only need one lemon tree cause one of my neighbors near my LA home got 4 lemon trees and can't find enough people to give the lemons away to. She gives me two crates of lemons a week and I disperse them best I can. My advise is diversify or zero in on avocado trees. Everyone has need for constant flow of avocados and the nice part is avocados stay preserved on the vine by nature till you need them. No preservatives so you get to keep you liver healthy like it was meant to last.
we went and bought all our trees during the sale , it was well worth it because we have fruit :)
Will it work without the powder? And how about if we put it in a potato and then put in the soil.
What sort of tempeture do the cuttings need to be kept at please? and also, what time of year would be best to do this please? I'm in England so I'm guessing springtime?
Thank you.
cuttings can be done anytime. Spring is the best time because that is when the plant is active. if its too cold for the cutting it will just stay dormant, you have the risk of it drying out before it can grow. So, yes...springtime would be best for you sir. Thanks for the question.
First Class Gardens Thank you for replying.

Does it work also for orange and tangarine tree cuttings
Im having a hard time keeping my lemon tree in balance. Will leaves get yellow and drop off by overwatering?
There are so many factors which cause citrus leaves to turn yellow and drop. Over watering and under watering can cause a leaf to turn yellow. Nitrogen deficiency can turn a leaf yellow. Citrus are a pain to grow, but worth it when they fruit and flower next year
Hi Sir, when I do lemon tree from cutting ... when it wi.ll fruit for me ?
If the leaves fall off does that mean the clone has failed?
Whenever I do this the leaves dry up curl and die and when I put a plastic bag on top mold grows lol
So you just use one branch on the pot?
yes, correct
when you do the cutting and they start growing how many years until they can fruit. Is it the same time when you start a citrus tree from seed.
much quicker to get fruit from a cutting. Average about 2 years sooner is my estimate.
In my limited experience a meyer lemon cutting began blooming/fruiting in about 2 years, while my quickest meyer seedling to bloom took about 4 years; other meyer lemon seedlings havn't bloomed yet going on about 5 years.
I tried this exact method but I didn’t cut the leaves.. after a few weeks the cuttings just died. I had about four.. going to try again this weekend.
Did you keep them moist?
Can this cutting grow to adult tree i e ( fruiting)
where to keep??dark place or light??
Do you need 2 lemon trees to pollinate? I have orange trees and don't want sour oranges.. Also, will the potato method work for other cuttings?
myers is self pollinating google will also help lots
The orange and lemon trees will cross pollinate giving you better yields on both trees than you would get with just the single lemon tree. Most places will tell you to have another pollinator. You won't get sour oranges if your orange tree gets pollinated by the lemon. Now if you planted the seeds from those oranges you might get some weird tasting cross breed orange 10 years later when the tree has matured.
thanks!
Welcome Hugo....love your fragrance! Almost as nice as the sweet fragrance of Citrus!!
First Class Gardens
status?
Was this successful?
How long does it take to roots to form and how do we know it did? Thanks
just putting in dirt in shad spot it takes about 6 month's here in Louisiana
call you use the honey cinnamon instead of the miracle grow?
I heard that combo is a great root promoter
You can actually clone without the geo just kind the dirt moist there a 50 /50 chance it will take. Doesn't hurt t😂o try so do a few it may take a while to wake up. But wen it does puts a 😊 in your face
It's wondertul..
Like other comments, I too tried this method on my Myer lemon and key limes. All my starts failed.
Do we have to use root grow???
This has not worked for me yet after 3 tries.
I did the same thing like you but my lime leaves turn gray and then fall off. Do you know why? Thanks
#theydied
How often should the cuttings be watered?
Just keep the soil moist, so watering frequency may vary in your climate, or keep a bag over it to lock in moisture.
It actually does matter what kind of substrate you use
