You want to grow lemons but stop because you run out of space or you don’t grow it because you live in a colder region. If this is your plight then growing a lemon tree in a pot is a smart idea. Plant it on a patio, terrace or in indoors and you will be bestowed by its scented flowers and soft yellow citrus fruits. You can grow it in balcony too, Meyer lemon variety is perfect for kitchen and balcony gardens, especially for non-tropical zones
Daizz’s tips:-
Choose a pot that is 25% bigger than the root ball of the plant. Clay pot is ideal because unlike plastic it is porous and evaporates water from sides, this helps the lemon tree to grow well as it dislikes being water logged. The quality and type of soil is an important factor too. For growing high yielding plants, use well draining organic potting mix.
Requirements for Growing Lemon Tree in a Pot
Repot your lemon tree in every couple of years or so in the beginning of spring (in tropics winter is the best season). Your pot size should be according to the scale of your tree. Avoid too large or small planters, keep in mind to use a container that is one size bigger than your previously used pot.
*pH level of soil should be around 5.5 to 7 as the plant prefer slightly acidic soil to neutral soil.
Sunlight
All plants in the citrus family love full sun, around 7 to 8 hours of sunlight is essential. If growing indoors use grow light to provide adequate lighting inside.
Watering
The lemon tree requires consistent watering to produce healthy fruits. Giving it too much or too little water can lead to blossom and fruit drop and sometimes plant may die too. Check top 2-inch layer of soil for dryness before watering. On windy and hot days, it requires more frequent watering.

I stay in Gurgaon and ek din achanak ek pot mein ek aur plant ke Sarah nimbu ka plant nikal raha hai. Now I have moved it to an individual pot. It is only about 4-6 months old I think. How long does it take to start giving fruits? And also, with winters coming, how can I keep it safe?

And a legend was born
I have a lemon tree grown from a seed, it is 7-8 years old. Everyone told me that it'll never ever give friuts but it flowered in February and gave three lemons. I was so thrilled n happy. I can see how much happiest you get when your tree grows n fruits. It is out of world feeling.
But these days my garden is infested with black ants n I don't know how to tackle them. Because of ants curry leaf plants young leaves are falling off, do you have any solution for that??
