Lemons have male and female flowers! Today, let me explain to you in detail how to distinguish between male and female potted lemons! 1. The secret of lemon flowers: the mystery of male and female flowers
First of all, we must first understand why lemons have male and female flowers. In fact, there are many plants in the plant kingdom that have monoecious plants, and lemons are no exception. Female and male flowers are slightly different in shape, but together they make up the reproduction process of lemon. 2. Characteristics of female flowers and male flowers

- Female flowers have an obvious stigma in the middle of the stamen, which is the most important feature of female flowers.
- Female flowers have shorter stems and more compact flowers. 2. Male flower characteristics: -Male flowers have relatively small petals and light color.
- The middle of the stamens of male flowers is anthers, which contain pollen.

Observe the stamens: -Female flowers have stigmas in the middle; male flowers have anthers in the middle. 3.
