7-  You can keep the lemon tree inside the house

The advantage of planting lemon trees in containers is that you can grow them indoors. The only drawback:  it will not do so as quickly as in a planter placed outside.

8-  Transplantation   is essential for the maintenance of this small tree

This process should be done every two or three years before changing the pot. If it is necessary to transplant the lemon tree, it is because it allows you to observe the roots and know if you need to put the plant in a larger pot. This gesture can also be used to add more fertilizer or compost   for good maintenance of the lemon tree  .

9-  Keep those fragrant citrus pots indoors in winter

Best planted in early spring, this citrus tree should be protected during the winter. During a cold snap, you can keep the shrub indoors   so as not to kill this plant  .

10-  Leave your potted tree sheltered from the wind
