Repotting My Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree

Set the tree in the pot and continue filling with soil. You want there to be some room left at the top about 1.5 inches with the crown roots just above the soil line. Then give it a good watering, making sure that the water runs through the bottom. Gently tamp down the soil to remove any air pockets. Once it has finished draining move it (don't drop it) to its normal location. Mine is in the dining room now that the nights are colder. I have a full-spectrum bulb that is on a timer for 14 hours a day.

Patti @Hearth and Vine on Mar 13, 2016@Wendy just make sure that the potting mix is drains very quickly. After I wrote this post I ended up adding some perlite and bark to the mix so that it drained even quicker. I water it very thoroughly once a week with Miracid and it seems to like that schedule.
