Planting: It is best to plant the Improved Meyer Lemon Tree in a warm, sunny area where the soil drains well. Six hours (or more) of direct sun is best for the tree. Planting next to a house or under an eave will provide some frost protection. Remember to water the Improved Meyer Lemon Tree deeply once every seven to ten days in midsummer (newly planted trees may need more frequent watering until established), and water less often if it rains or if the weather is cool. If you're planting in a container, select one that is 1 to 2 pot sizes larger than what it initially arrived. Then, fill with a well-draining cactus or citrus soil, 2 inches of compost, water well, and place near a South-facing window. *Note: The leaves of the Meyer Lemon can be toxic to pets. 2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry down to 2 inches between waterings. While the roots prefer to stay on the dry side, citrus leaves love humidity. Indoor Citrus will do best if misted daily, especially when you are running your heat during cooler months. You can also use a humidifier or fill your pot's saucer with rocks and add water; place your plant on the rocks ensuring the bottom of the pot is above the waterline. 3. Pollination: For indoor plants, simply take a small, dry, fine-tipped paintbrush and stick it into the center of the bloom. Swirl it around and collect the pollen on the brush. Go to the next bloom and repeat the process until every bloom has been treated. Do this once daily and don’t wash the paintbrush until after the blooms have been pollinated. The bloom will fall off naturally and the fruit will begin to form. 4. Fertilizing: Fertilize regularly with a high-nitrogen blend each month between April and September. Tip: Yellowing leaves may indicate the need for more fertilizer. 5. Pruning: Prune as needed to maintain your Lemon Tree's shape. Clip off any branches that are too long. Remove branches growing toward the trunk of the tree instead of away from it. This will maintain airflow between the branches. Damaged leaves or small branch breakage can be a normal part of the shipping process and does not affect the health of the plant.
