Growing lemon trees indoors in containers protect lemon trees from winter cold and strong winds and enables a grower to enjoy these decorative plants year long. Of course, for indoors, one has to choose varieties which flower and bear fruits year long. Soil mix - soil mix for indoor lemon tree should be mix of good potting soil and organic matter like compost and humus. One can add hydroton pebbles to improve water holding capacity, which is very important when growing plants during summer heat. Remember that lemons require moisture, but they don't like 'wet feet'! Soil must have good drainage and pH around 6.0 and 6.5. Before planting the lemon tree, check if the tree is growing on its own roots or if it is grafted.
