Growing a lemon tree is pretty straightforward. You don't have to be a gardening pro to get started with one.
That being said, there are a few steps you'll want to follow to help ensure your lemon tree is able to successfully grow.
You'll want to start your seedling off in a pot that is roughly 24 inches wide and 12 inches deep. Your lemon tree is going to need plenty of room to grow.
Later on, after the tree is a couple of feet in height, you'll want to transplant it to a larger planting pot. The new pot should be around six inches wide and six inches deep.
Make sure the soil for your lemon tree remains moist. Not soaking wet that it'll drown the seedling, but damp.
You want to be careful not to overwater your lemon tree. Overwatering can cause root rot. If you overwater your lemon tree, symptoms you might see are its leaves turning a paler color, leaves falling off, and rot occurring near the base.
If you're starting off with a seed to start your lemon tree, dig a tiny hole that is about half an inch deep in the middle of the pot. Place the seed in the hole and cover with soil. Then spray the soil above the seed with water.
Be sure to place the pot somewhere where the seed will get plenty of light. Lemon trees need at least eight hours of light per day.
During the summer, it's advised that you place your lemon tree outdoors. If it's in the winter, you might need to supplement the sun with a grow light to keep your tree healthy.
So long as you take care of your lemon tree for 1-2 years, you’ll eventually enjoy the fruits of your labor. Literally! Simply be consistent in your care and make sure your lemon tree continues to get plenty of light.
