You might want to check the Ph level, that is.. the acidity level in the
compost.. You can buy a basic Ph level probe for I would guess in the US
for about 10 to fifteen dollers. Usually you have to insert the probe;..
leave it for a few minutes and then read it.
Most citrus foots prefer an acid soil and if they are potted then you
need to feed with a Citrus fertiliser when you do.. Obtaining a good
book on Citrus trees is advisable. Try a good, bookshop, garden centre,
buy online or go to your local library and ask them,
Our citrus tree is in a large container.. stays in the conservatory
during the winter and outdoors on the patio in the summer...

Congratulations for getting the plant started. The bad news is that
you may have to wait 10-15 years for any lemons. Almost all productive
lemon trees are grafted on to other root stock. But if you don't care
about setting fruit, then make sure it is getting lots of sunshine and
only water after the soil is on the dry side. I wouldn't fertilize but
around twice a year. You can plant it in a container and move indoors
or other protective spot during the winter.

Good Luck

I started a leomn tree from a seed in a small pot. It is now about 10
inches tall. The leaves, however, are brown around the edges. Is this
a sign of too much watering, too little, or something entirely
different? What should I feed the little tree and when should I move
it outdoors or to
a larger container? I am in the southeastern US with winter time
temps down
to about 20 at times, but generally pretty mild. Any suggestions
would eb greatly appreciated.
