The Lemon Plant is a popular, evergreen citrus tree native to Asia and widely cultivated for its acidic, juicy fruits. Lemons are a great addition to any garden or indoor space, providing a burst of citrus flavor and fragrance.

Climate Requirements
Lemon Plants prefer:

- Temperatures between 65°F (18°C) and 90°F (32°C)
- High humidity levels, above 50%
- Full sun to partial shade
- Protection from frost and extreme cold

Planting Requirements
To plant a Lemon Plant:

1. Choose a container with good drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil.
2. Use a well-draining potting mix specifically designed for citrus plants.
3. Plant the Lemon Plant at the same depth as it was in its previous container.
4. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist.

Watering Requirements
Water your Lemon Plant:

- When the top 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of soil feel dry to the touch
- Avoid getting water on the trunk or leaves to prevent fungal diseases
- Reduce watering during the winter months when the plant is dormant

Fertilization Requirements
Feed your Lemon Plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (20-20-20 NPK):

- Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid burning the roots
- Apply fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring-fall)
- Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when the plant is dormant

Composting Requirements
Compost can help improve soil fertility and structure. Add compost to your Lemon Plant:

- Mix 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of compost into the potting mix when planting
- Top-dress with a 1-inch (2.5 cm) layer of compost around the base of the plant once a year
- Use a well-rotted, nutrient-rich compost to avoid burning the roots

Caring Requirements
To keep your Lemon Plant healthy and thriving:

- Prune regularly to maintain desired shape and promote new growth
- Train the plant to grow as a single stem or multi-stemmed tree
- Monitor for pests like aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites
- Protect the plant from extreme weather conditions like frost and strong winds

Common Pests and Diseases
Keep an eye out for these common issues:

- Root rot due to overwatering
- Leaf spot and crown rot due to fungal infections
- Pest infestations like aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites

Propagation
Lemon Plants can be propagated through:

- Seeds: Sow seeds in a well-draining mix, maintaining a temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C).
- Grafting: Graft a piece of stem (scion) from a mature tree onto the root system of a compatible rootstock.

Harvesting
Lemons are ready to harvest when they are bright yellow and firm to the touch. Use scissors or a sharp knife to cut the fruit from the tree, leaving a small piece of stem attached.

Uses
Lemons are a versatile fruit, used in cooking, cleaning, and beauty treatments. They are a great source of vitamin C and antioxidants.

There are several varieties of Lemon Plants, including:

- 'Dwarf Washington' - A compact, dwarf variety suitable for containers.
- 'Eureka' - A popular, seedless variety with bright yellow fruit.
- 'Lisbon' - A Portuguese variety with large, acidic fruit.

By following these guidelines, you should be able to grow a healthy and thriving Lemon Plant.
