Planting & Care

Choose a 10–14 inch pot with drainage holes and fill it with quality citrus potting soil. Plant at the same depth as the original container, keeping the root crown above the soil line, then water thoroughly. Place in a location receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily; in cold climates, move indoors when temperatures drop. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, being careful not to overwater. Apply balanced fertilizer during spring through early fall, and prune in early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead wood. Harvest lemons when they turn fully yellow and feel firm to the touch.
