How to induce a kalamansi tree to bear flowers and fruits

I have grafted kalamansi trees but they do not bear fruits. I  wanted them to bear flowers and  fruits the natural way. I  was informed that  vinegar with eggshells  will do the job.  I experimented  with  this natural flower inducer and I was successful!~ This is what I did:

1) Roast  (crushed) eggshells   until they turn brown. Let cool.
2) Soak the roasted eggshells in the same amount   of    vinegar ( I used natural palm vinegar) for at least 2 weeks. Use a larger container as it will surge.

3) Strain  the solution and keep in lightly covered bottle. Do not fill to the brim, just about 3/4 full.

4) Spray  the leaves  with  the solution at 2 tablespoons per liter, once every week.
Also,  water the base of the kalamansi tree with the same solution.

5) After a month, my kalamansi trees have lots of flowers and fruits, see pictures below.
