Citrus aka Dwarf Lemon Tree

Dwarf Lemon Tree presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.

Dwarf Lemon Tree should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Dwarf Lemon Tree loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Dwarf Lemon Tree prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Ploi's records do not contain confirmed information on the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event of accidental ingestion of plant material with questionable toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.

The Dwarf Lemon Tree is not in need of supplementary humidity. Most water is taken in by plants through their roots, thus soil watering is the most efficient way to provide humidity to your plants.

The growth of Dwarf Lemon Tree is not rapid and it doesn't necessitate any extra fertilization. By replacing its potting soil once a year, it should receive ample nutrition. It is important to note that plants obtain their energy from the sun's rays, not from fertilizers.

Dwarf Lemon Tree’s native range is Southeast Asia and Australia.
