watering potted lemon?
 

A few weeks ago I got a Meyer Lemon in a 5 gallon can, which I
repotted into a 10 gallon glazed pot using "Smart Soil," a
polyacrylamide-containing potting mix. The plant is about 4 feet
tall. We have no humidifier, and keep our It is in my living room
by a SW-facing window (never opened), a couple of feet from a heat
vent, so the location is pretty dry and airy, for Seattle!

I have been giving it 1-2 liters of water once or twice a week. No
water comes through to the saucer.

The plant was beginning to flower when I got it, and is setting some
fruit and continuing to form new flowers.

Is this close to the right watering schedule?

It looks like the tree is telling you that it is the correct schedule!

Water when dry, not on a schedule.
