Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination.
• If desired, scarify the seed surface gently with sandpaper to help break the seed coat for quicker germination.

Sowing Instructions:

• Indoor Sowing:

  • Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date in a warm, sunny spot.
  • Use a high-quality seed-starting mix and plant seeds about ½ inch deep.
  • Maintain a consistent soil temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for best germination.
  • Keep the soil moist but not soggy.

• Outdoor Sowing (if conditions allow):

  • Plant seeds directly in the garden after the last frost when the soil temperature is above 70°F (21°C).
  • Ensure the location receives full sun for at least 6-8 hours a day.

Germination:

• Germination typically takes 2-4 weeks under optimal conditions. Keep the soil warm and moist to encourage healthy seedling development.

Transplanting:

• Once seedlings have 2-3 sets of leaves, transplant them into larger pots or outdoor containers to allow for healthy root development.
• Ensure the transplant site offers full sun and well-drained soil.

Care & Maintenance:

Watering:

• Dwarf lemon trees prefer consistent moisture but should not be waterlogged. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, especially during hot periods.

Fertilization:

• Feed your lemon tree with a balanced, citrus-specific fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring to summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, which can harm the tree.

Pruning:

• Regularly prune any dead or damaged branches and shape the tree to encourage strong, healthy growth. Prune lightly to avoid cutting off flower-producing branches.

Pest & Disease Control:

• Dwarf lemon trees are susceptible to pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and scale insects. Use organic insecticides like neem oil if pests become an issue.
• Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

Container & Patio Care:

• For potted plants, choose a well-draining container that is 1-2 sizes larger than the root ball of the plant.
• Move the tree indoors during the winter months if the temperatures drop below freezing, or use a frost cloth to protect the tree if left outside.

Harvesting & Use:

• Harvest Time: Depending on growing conditions, your dwarf lemon tree can begin producing fruit in 2-3 years from seed.
• Use: Enjoy fresh lemons in cooking, baking, drinks, or as garnishes. Freshly harvested lemons also have more concentrated flavors and juice.

Perfect for small spaces, the Dwarf Lemon Tree offers a great way to grow fresh citrus indoors or outdoors. With proper care, it will reward you with beautiful, fragrant blossoms and delicious, homegrown lemons year after year.
