(1) Leave the tree out in the open if you live in a region with a warm, temperate climate.  If the temperature at night is no lower than 5°C, leave your lemon tree outside in a vase.  If it gets cold, put it indoors to keep it safe.

 If the place where you live has at least eight hours of sunshine all year round and the temperature never drops below 7°C, you can plant the tree directly in the ground.

(2) Plant your lemon tree indoors during the cooler months.  When the temperature starts to drop and you see frost on the ground, take the lemon tree indoors and place it in a solarium, patio, greenhouse or some other environment that still allows it to receive sunlight from a window.  Ice kills lemon trees, so pay attention to the weather forecast to get him indoors in time.

 Sicilian lemon trees are a great choice for those who will have to put the plant indoors.  They produce a lot of lemons, but they won't get so big that you can't move them.  They are usually 1.5 to 2 m tall, but you can prune them if you want.

(3) Keeping an ideal temperature of 10 to 21 ºC.  In the summer months, it's okay if the trees stay at temperatures above 21ºC during the day, because it will get cold at night.  If the tree is indoors, keep an eye on the temperature so it doesn't drop too low or rise too high.  This is crucial in the winter months when the air is drier.  Don't let the tree get too hot.

 Those who live in dry climates should use a humidifier when the tree is indoors, to keep the humidity around 50%.  If your climate allows you to plant trees outdoors, you don't have to worry about humidity levels.

(4) The lemon tree should receive at least six to eight hours of sunlight a day.  Place the tree in a location where it will be in direct sunlight.  Avoid places where other plants will block sunlight.  Depending on the time of year, move the tree this way or that way in the backyard so it gets as much sun as possible.  If she's indoors, move her around during the seasons to ensure she gets plenty of light.

 If your city is often cloudy and overcast, invest in a lamp made especially for plants.  You can find this product on the internet or in garden supply stores.

(5) Keep the tree away from radiators and heat sources.  When she's indoors, don't place her near any heat sources, as this can dry out the leaves and soil.  The natural heat of the sun is good for the lemon tree, but dry and strong heat will be bad for its health.

 If possible, leave the tree in an environment that has a ceiling fan or place a mobile fan nearby.  Air circulation helps keep the tree healthy.  Leave the fan on for as long as you can, every day.
