I've had this guy in a pot for years. We're finally getting some fat juicy lemons off of it!

I really struggle with my Meyer. Its been in a pot for two years now. I got a tiny lemon only once.

Give it time! Also fertilizer. Citrus love fertilizer.

That's part of my difficulty. How much and how often?! I give like a table spoon 1x a month of citrus blend fert. And I wait to water it until its a little droopy

It really depends on the fertilizer to be honest. I use those fertilizer spikes for citrus - they work pretty well for me.

Honestly you don’t really want them to set much fruit when they’re little. Better to put all its energy into getting big and strong first.
