1. Gather Materials: Collect lemon tree cuttings, tissue paper, plastic bags, and a container.
2. Preparing the Cuttings: Choose healthy lemon tree cuttings, about 6-8 inches long, with at least two or three leaves.
3. Wrapping with Tissue Paper: Moisten the tissue paper and wrap it around the base of the cuttings to keep them moist.
4. Creating a Humid Environment: Place the wrapped cuttings in a plastic bag to maintain humidity, which helps with root development.
5. Monitoring Growth: Keep the cuttings in a warm, bright location, but out of direct sunlight. Check regularly for root growth.
6. Transplanting: Once roots develop, transplant the cuttings into pots with well-draining soil.
7. Care for New Plants: Water the newly potted cuttings regularly and provide adequate sunlight for continued growth.
