How to Grow Meyer Lemon Trees Meyer lemon trees will thrive if you provide the right conditions. Care includes finding the ideal location for them: They need at least eight hours a day of direct sunlight,preferably from the southwest direction. They require well-draining soil, regular fertilization while growing, and enough water to keep the soil moist but not wet.   Light When your plant is inside, give it as much light as possible. This can be done by placing it in a sunny, southwest-facing window, or by setting it under grow lights or shop lights fitted with one cool and one warm bulb. Be careful about giving the tree too much direct sun as this can burn your plant. If all else is handled well, you might be able to keep your lemon alive with enough bright, indirect sun as well.   Soil Meyer lemon trees can grow in almost any type of soil with good drainage, but they thrive in loamy or sandy loam soils. Add lime to increase the soil pH or sulfur to lower it if your mixture is too acidic.   WaterProper watering is one of the keys to growing any citrus plant, particularly those grown in pots. The aim is to keep the soil moist but not wet. If your plant is indoors, particularly in winter when the heat is on, misting the leaves with water can help keep your lemon tree happy. It's also a good idea to use pot feet, so your citrus tree doesn't sit in water.   Temperature and Humidity Meyer lemon trees are happiest in temperatures between 50 and 80 F. That means unless you live in USDA zones 9 to 11, you should bring your Meyer lemon tree inside when temperatures start regularly dipping below 50 degrees.
