Sunlight:
Lemon trees require full sunlight for at least 8-12 hours a day. Place your potted lemon tree in a sunny location, such as a south-facing balcony, patio, or windowsill.
If growing indoors, ensure the tree gets ample sunlight, or consider using grow lights to supplement natural light.
Watering:
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water the tree when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry.
During hot weather, potted plants may need frequent watering, while in cooler months, reduce watering to avoid root rot.
Fertilizing:
Feed your lemon tree with a balanced fertilizer formulated for citrus plants. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer), and reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Use organic compost or slow-release fertilizers for a steady nutrient supply.
Pruning:
Regular pruning helps to maintain a healthy shape and encourages better air circulation, which reduces the risk of diseases.
Trim dead or damaged branches and remove any suckers that grow below the graft line.
Prune to keep the tree compact, especially if it's growing in a pot.
Repotting:
Repot your lemon tree every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth.
If the tree becomes root-bound (roots growing out of the drainage holes), move it to a slightly larger pot to allow for better growth.
