Water and nutrient needs of the potted lemon tree
Lemon trees have fairly large water needs, especially when grown in pots.
Advertisement:It is important to make sure you water them regularly, being careful not to drown them. In general, one watering every two or three days is sufficient during the growth and fruiting period.
Be sure to reduce watering in winter, when the plant is dormant.
When it comes to nutrients, lemon trees need a lot of nitrogen to grow well and produce fruit. Opt for a specific fertilizer for citrus fruits, rich in nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
You can also add compost or well-rotted manure to your growing medium to provide additional nutrients.
