Care Tips
Place the Meyer Lemon Tree where it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily and use well-draining soil. Water thoroughly when needed, but avoid constantly soggy soil. In colder climates, container growing allows the tree to be moved to a protected location before frost. Temporary leaf drop or shipping stress can occur as the plant adjusts to its new environment.
