I always use kaffir lime leaves as a daily cooking spice. Starting from peanut rempeyek, chicken soup, egg curry, until roasted chicken. But when buying a complete kitchen spice in a stall or market, I usually only get a few leaves of kaffir lime. In fact, in one recipe, I can use lime leaves to sheet-sheet.
I am also interested to grow or grow my own kaffir lime leaves at home. Besides being more practical because of picking, I can also be more satisfied using orange leaves in cooking. Well, here's how to grow your own kaffir lime leaves at home that you can follow.
Choose Planting Place
The first step you can take is to choose where to plant an orange leaf tree. You can plant an orange leaf tree in a large pot. You can also plant it directly on the front yard or behind the house. If you have chosen a place, then you can prepare the necessary equipment to plant the leaves of oranges. Every place you choose certainly has different equipment.
Prepare Planting Equipment
To grow your own citrus leaves at home, you need to prepare some equipment. Such as large pots, polybags, seeds, loose soil, manure or compost, straw or dried leaves, sand, and cutting tools. Each citrus leaf planting location would require different equipment.
Planting
In order to successfully grow your own citrus leaves at home, you must have a good kaffir lime seed. After that, dig a hole to plant with a distance of about 3 cm and insert the seeds then cover with soil. For fertilization, you can mix the soil with natural fertilizer.
