Ornamental Lemon Tree
Ornamental Lemon Tree
Brighten your space with an Ornamental Lemon Tree, offering a fresh burst of citrusy charm and the promise of tiny fruits.
Light: Ornamental lemon trees need plenty of bright light, ideally 8-12 hours of direct sunlight daily. Place it in the sunniest spot in your home, like a south-facing window.
Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot.
Humidity: These trees prefer moderate to high humidity. If the air is dry, mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier.
Soil: Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix. A citrus-specific soil mix works best, or you can mix regular potting soil with sand or perlite for better drainage.
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for citrus trees every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through early fall). Reduce feeding in winter.
Temperature: Ideal temperatures are between 65-85°F (18-29°C) during the day and above 50°F (10°C) at night. Protect from frost and cold drafts.
With the right care, each of these plants will thrive, bringing beauty and charm to your space!
