Is a Meyer Lemon Tree easy to care for?
Meyer Lemon Trees are considered moderate care and are well suited to home gardeners. With regular watering, good sunny positioning, and an occasional feeding, they grow well and produce delicious fruit.
How much light does a Meyer Lemon Tree need?
Meyers thrive in full sun and you should be aiming for atleast 6 hours of sunlight per day. A bright, sunny outdoor spot is ideal. If grown in a pot, place the tree somewhere it can get maximum sunlight and rotate occasionally for even growth.
Is a Meyer Lemon Tree safe for pets?
Citrus trees in general are considered mildly toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, particularly the fruit skin. So make sure your pet does not decide to have lemons for breakfast.
Does a Meyer Lemon Tree need warmth/humidity?
Meyer Lemon Trees typically prefer warmer conditions and can be sensitive to frost at times. When young, the tree should be protected from cold snaps.
How often should I water a Meyer Lemon Tree?
Meyer Lemon Trees prefer consistently moist soil, especially during the growing season. When the top few cm of soil feels dry, it's time to water.
