Pot and Soil Requirement Choose a pot larger than 25% of the root volume of the plant. Make sure that the drainage holes are open and check them from time to time. The quality and type of pot soil is also an important factor. To grow high yielding plants, use a well-drained soil mixture with plenty of organic matter and fertilizer. Do not use flower soil or peat. You can change your lemon tree every few years and more at the beginning of spring (in hot climates, winter is the best season). Your pot size should be based on the scale of your tree. Avoid the use of very large or small pots

It would be best to use a container that is one size larger than the pot you used before. Sun and Light Requirement All plants in the citrus family love full sun, about 7 to 8 hours of sunlight is required. For this, you can keep it in both sunny and airy places such as balconies, terraces and patios. If you want to grow a lemon sapling indoors, you can either position it close to a window with plenty of sunlight or use artificial growing lights to eliminate the lack of direct light. Irrigation As with every living thing, lemon and other citrus trees need water. Too much or too little water can cause blooming and fruit falling, and sometimes plants can die. In winter and spring periods, the amount of water given in direct proportion to the pot volume changes every 2-7 days. Before irrigation, check the top 2-3 centimeters of soil layer for dryness. It requires more frequent irrigation and slightly moist soil on windy and hot days. For a ten-liter pot, close to a liter of water should be given. On hot summer days, the frequency of irrigation can decrease to 1-2 days. Humidity If you grow lemon trees indoors, a certain level of humidity is required for them to thrive, 50% is ideal. To achieve this, you can spray the leaves with the help of a spray during watering times to ensure that they meet the moisture need.
