Grow a fragrant reminder of summer with an indoor citrus tree.
Lemons are among the easiest citrus to grow indoors and make thoughtful gifts. You provide the light, water and fertilizer, and they offer beautiful, aromatic flowers and homegrown lemons. According to Steven Biggs, the author of Grow Figs Where You Think You Can’t, scent is one of the best reasons to grow an indoor lemon tree. “You can’t beat the smell of lemon blossoms— they’re a joy indoors when it’s gray outdoors.”
Choose the Best Variety
Many types of lemons do well when grown indoors, but Meyer is the most popular. Not only does it take well to container culture, but the fruits have a sweeter flavor, are less acidic and have thinner skin than many other varieties.
