Nurturing Your Memorial Tree:

Not a citrus expert? No worries. The Meyer Lemon is hardy, rewarding, and surprisingly easy to grow.

  • Light: Full sun is best - at least 6-8 hours of bright light daily. A south-facing window is ideal. If natural light is limited, a grow light can help your tree thrive.
  • Water: Water deeply when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. Meyer Lemons like consistent moisture but not soggy roots. In winter, water less frequently.
  • Humidity: Average household humidity works fine. If your home is very dry in winter, occasional misting or a nearby humidifier helps.
  • Temperature: Thrives in USDA Zones 8–11; bring indoors if temperatures drop below 40°F. Room temperatures between 55-80°F are perfect. Keep away from cold drafts and heating vents.
  • Feeding: Fertilize with citrus food during spring and summer for the best blooms and fruit.

Each moment caring for your tree - watering, watching new leaves unfurl, breathing in the fragrance of blossoms - becomes a quiet act of remembrance.
