care tips

The lemon Meyer tree thrives in the Mediterranean climate, but it's not the most resilient tree. If you have it potted, be sure to bring it indoors during cold winter days when it freezes or drops below freezing.

It's also important to fertilize your lemon tree regularly. As a citrus tree, it requires a lot of nutrients, particularly macro and micro nutrients. In fact, lemons are prone to deficiencies, especially in magnesium and zinc.

To keep your citrus tree healthy, make sure the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged. During the hot summer months, water it daily, while in cooler periods, water it every other day. Additionally, consider pruning your tree once a year in February to promote healthy growth and maintenance.
