If kept outside during warm months and inside during cold months, the Meyer lemon tree will need some help adjusting to indoor lighting when coming inside for the winter. Plan on giving it a a week or two to transition to more shade before bringing it inside. Alternatively, you can purchase a high-power grow light for use inside.

Soil: All citrus trees require well-draining soil, but this is especially important for the Meyer lemon tree. It is more susceptible to root rot than other varieties if the soil is moist for too long. It should still be watered thoroughly, but should be allowed to dry completely before watering again.
