Have a small yard? Grow lemons indoors
Start with a 6-inch pot and move to a foot-wide pot.
Use a mix of perlite, peat, and potting soil.
Place the pot in full sun for 6-8 hours daily.
Gradually acclimate the tree when moving it outside.
Water when soil is dry 2 inches deep.
Fertilize with acidic plant food during the growing season.
Prune in spring to shape and control size.
Help pollinate by lightly shaking the tree in bloom.
