Meyer Lemon Tree

Botanical name: Citrus Limon (Rutaceae)
Common names: Lemon Tree

Prized for its glossy bright green foliage, fragrant blossoms, and aromatic yellow coloured fruit, the lemon tree - with the right amount of light and care, can make for a beautiful indoor plant. And who wouldn't love to smell citrus blossom in their home, especially in the winter?

Plant size: large
Plant arrives in growing pot, placed into the decorative pot
All of our pots are made with recycled plastic
Straight pot has no drainage hole (size: 11.8" in diameter, 10.25" tall)
Tapered pot comes with drainage and saucer (size: 11.8" in diameter, 11" tall)

Light

Bright, indirect light. A south facing window is the optimal place for a lemon tree. If needed, use grow lights to supplement natural light (especially during the winter).

Tip: To increase chances of bearing fruit, place your lemon tree outdoors during the warmer months.

Water

Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. The goal is to keep the soil moist but not soggy! Not sure when to water? Just follow the finger dip test.

Food

Feed every 3 weeks during Spring and Summer. Reduce to 1-2 months during winter. Fertilize with a high-nitrogen product made for citrus trees.

Climate

Lemon trees do best in rooms with an average temperature between 13 and 21 degrees.

Tip: Mist leaves occasionally to increase humidity, and wipe leaves every once in a while to keep them dust free.

Pet friendly

No- keep away from pets (can cause irritation if ingested)

All orders are subject to a flat $10 delivery fee.
We currently only deliver to certain boroughs and municipalities on the island of Montreal. You can use our postal code tracker at checkout to make sure we deliver to your area.
Please allow 3-5 business days from when the order is placed to receive your plant. As we do not currently provide any packaging, please ensure someone is home to receive the delivery.
We deliver most plants in their growing pot, which fits perfectly into the decorative pot we offer with each plant, while others ship directly potted.
We do our best to select plants that are similar to the ones pictured on our website, but as with all living beings, there will be some variation in color, shape, size and texture - making each plant unique in its own way!

As flowers may not develop fully into fruit indoors, you can give hand pollination a try! Grab a cotton swab or small paint brush to distribute the pollen from flower to stigma, and encourage fruiting. Note that the fruiting process can take anywhere from 4 to 12 months.
