Good luck with it! Mine never got over about 6 inches. Lived almost 2 years. I've got a bunch of seeds from an awesome tree that we once had. Tried all kinds of ways to clone it and never happened.

My mother grew them all the time when I was a kid. I think I got my desire for growing from her .She started again when I was an adult......they never produced any lemons and rarely grew above about 2 feet tall but it was cool none the less !

They love acidic soils from what I've read. I'm actually looking for a dwarf Meyer lemon this spring so I can have some organic lemonade

It looks like its hungry or its roots are too cold, remember it's tropical so keep the rh high (if you can help this) and keep the temps warm, like 75+.

Awesome hope it produces. Always wanted to grow one but was afraid it would be a waste of time if it never produced.

Looking much better! It should be good with no nutrients for at east a week or two. When it does get hungry how do you plan to feed it?

I'm going to be giving it plain RO water most of the time, I'll have it in roots organic soil soon so I won't have to feed for a while. This light feeding is just to aid in the transplant from rockwool to seedling soil. I'm gonna give the roots a chance to develop for about two weeks then I'll transplant again.

I want one. Explain please. Thanks.
I was eating some Ramen noodles, I like ramen with lots of lemon and tapatio. I peeled the shell off of the seeds and put them in a moist paper towel, it took about a week for the roots to develop. One of 5 seeds I did this to grew the others rotted. I kept it in a dark warm place I'd say maybe 83F until the roots were about 1/2 then I put it in a rockwool cube that I made a hole in and filled with seedling mix. after about a week the leaves developed, but I noticed they were yellow and curled. So I took it out of the rockwool and it's now in a seedling soil I got at wallmart. It's getting 24hrs of 300w LED light Temps range from 68F-78F. be very careful not to damage the cotyledons when your peeling the shell, its kind of difficult because they are slippery. hold the seed with a paper towel in one hand and with your finger nail peel back the white shell.
