Soil Mix
When mixing the soil for a lemon tree, make sure you have both organic matter, such as humus and compost and a quality well draining pot. You need the soil to have good drainage, so never allow the bottom of the pot to sit in the catch tray as this will impede drainage and will allow roots to soak in drainage water which will cause root rot.
Fertilizer
The easiest solution for fertilization is to use a liquid fertilizer. Make sure that several microelements are in the fertilizer mix and just add the right amount during your watering cycle. This will keep your plants happy throughout the year.
Pollination
