How to Repot a Meyer Lemon Tree |Plus Organic Care Tips|

[@ceniabonilla3794]

I live in va and I have 21 lemon trees. I built a greenhouse and installed infrared light for the winter. This is the second year i have collected lemon from one of my trees.

[@ivonneyamamoto5618]

Name it “SUNNY” 🍋 Because they all look like lit Suns, Beautiful Tree-I’m obsessed!

[@djfunklopez6277]

I thought my lemon tree had completely died because of an unexpected cold snap while it was outside. It did died back but is now putting out green growth. I think I might name it Lazarus. 😉

😁 Si Lázaro suena bien.

Meyer lemons have always impressed me with their hardiness. I've had one that got left in a dark room and unwatered for three months in winter. It was putting out blossoms when I found it and watered it.

[@carlosdelagarza8983]

By far, the best content on improved Meyer lemon care I've seen on KZbin. Thank you!

[@smibs1of2]

My improved Meyer is Liz Lemon. Not particularly creative but it is spoken affectionately. Thanks for the info!

This is very helpful. I have a tree that I started from seed of which I got from my grandma's tree and now she is no longer and neither can we go back and get seeds from that tree because it was cut down but this is super helpful because this tree is very special and it's like a miracle because it's been growing very big and a pot for about 9 years and I'm just trying to maintain it till I can permanently plant it in a real yard of my own. My tree finally gave me fruit and flowers about 2 years ago. This video is so informative! 😀 Thank you for these tips because it's hanging on but it's lacking something

[@RealALSK]

Thanks for watching! Good luck! Keep us updated!

[@lisamillen8628]

I've had my lemon tree for just eight months and it has a dozen blooms just sitting in my dining room window. I didn't know they have thorns! Thanks for the advice.

[@philipchang4453]

Hi did you grow it from seed. I took 5 seeds removed the outer layer.. place in wet paper towel then in zip lock bag. Put in the sun but I think when I put them. I the dark, they mite of reacted faster.. I have seedlings now but haven't planted them yet.. Any suggestions

[@lisamillen8628]

@@philipchang4453 No. I actually bought it at Wal-Mart. I never thought I'd have fruit.

[@JessicaJLandi]

Those lemons are a beauty to behold.

[@ebogar42]

I didn't use any special dirt when I transplanted mine and it grew twice the size in no time and it bloomed several times. I've had it a couple years now. Was very small when I got it.

[@mgore90]

It's really interesting. Here in the Southern UK, most people think you can't grow citrus because our winters are too cold. It's not that, your winters are on par with coastal Georgia. It's that our summers aren't hot enough for them to ripen. Our typical winters only get down to about 26f (once in 50 year winters = 15f). US climate zones just don't make any sense here. I'm technically in zone 9b (Northern Florida/Southern Georgia equivalent), but our summers don't even quite average 70f. A polytunnel makes it possible though. I've got satsumas, kumquats and Meyer lemons growing in my polytunnel. Never thought it was possible, but it works! It's a bit dicey, as they barely ripen before the frost kicks in, but it's so much fun to grow citrus in the UK.

[@lorilozano1884]

This video is terrific and very timely. My Meyer's leaves have turned yellow, almost as yellow as the fruit. With the drought here this summer, I may have over compensated and over watered. I'm going to get some new soil per your recommendations and replant my girl. I just call her Beautiful 😊

[@Digital_Dreaming_]

Where did you buy your tree from?

[@lifeslemons8981]

Mine is called cali girl...

Name it "Lemony-Snicket". Actually I came here to learn about your outdoor gardening tips and this video just came up next. NOW you've got me wanting to plant a citrus tree which I swore I would never do again because we live in the Panhandle of Florida and have to cover our trees during the winter----YES, even here in Florida!! But I'll try this just because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE LEMONS !!!

I bought a lemon tree thanks to your video!! Thank you for all of your tips!!

[@craiglozzi5391]

Thanks for the video and your sense of humor! What size pot did that lemon tree come in and what size pot did you transplant it to. How do you determine the correct size to move up to? And how do you know when it's time to repot it?

You are amazing and helping us to grow our own lemon tree God bless and many tips

Thank you for you lesson on re- planting lemon tree and I would name it lemon drop

I have a cumquat tree that's getting bigger by the day. No matter what I do, it never bloom and I'm afraid it never will. Your lemon tree is gorgeous and I'm jealous. 😂

[@metavision8292]

Just found this today. So years ago my wife gave me Grapefruit/Lemon/lime seeds that would be growing roots in her fruit. Long story short, I'm not sure if it's lemon or Grapefruit, I live in CT so it's in the house all year round, it has 2 leaves and didn't grow at all for like 2yrs! I was growing at that time and put it under my grow lights, it blasted off! I guess I need help to identify it! I learned a lot from the video, I need help pruning! I'm gonna check thru the videos!

[@billytingen3567]

Call it Sour Owie. And Dude, what a Great video. You are so freakin funny!!! I remember the video with the Garden Hose. I really look forward to your videos. So much good info and so much fun. Makes me want to finish my Greenhouse and run buy a Sour Owie. Cheers my friend!!!

[@missmeliss3710]

Hilarious! I just got myself a little Meyer lemon tree and wanted to take the very best care of her- saw that this video had a southerner explaining stuff and knew I was in the right place! Thanks a bunch! Especially liked the alternative options for soil and fertilizer. One question: I watched a another person's video on KZbin and she mentioned that you should look for the part of the trunk that all the roots are coming out of ( it kinda looks like a peanut in the shell) , she said when repotting you should keep that part above the soil. Any thoughts or other explanations? Thanks again!!!!

Super helpful! Going to repot my husband’s Meyer lemon tree this morning - thanks for your tips! He named his tree Meadowlark Lemon - after the famous Globetrotter! 🤣👍🏻🍋

Meyer lemon tree variety!Hi ,from Puerto Rico!

[@SallyBakke]

I got a lemon tree for Christmas and I repotted it into a 20 gallon pot after about a month. (The garden center suggested to do it before April) It is in a sunny spot on our back pool deck. It had LOTS of flowering blooms, and lots of tiny lemons and one about the size of a ping pong ball. We have had an unusually chilly winter for Florida and a very gray January and February. We had a horrific windy and rainy couple of days and ALL of the leaves came off the tree. What IN the WORLD????? I have looked at it and it seems to have new blossoms but no sign of leaves. I followed your repotting video …. I have it in a terracotta pot. Please helllllllppppp. Thank you in advance.

I went with a tall terracotta with cactus mix and I chose a harvey lemon since I didn’t want ponderosa I just heard it’s hardier and not as massive lemons

[@roisin252]

Believe it or not, I have a tree in my conservatory in Ireland and after three years it is heaving with lemons. The room is south facing and it seems really happy.

[@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags]

We had a few pine trees cut down and the tree people put smaller limbs into the wood chipper, so is great stuff as bark dust....and I use it mixed in with the soil as I transplant it from the one gallon container into a larger container....I'd like to do that now/soon as its super hot here in Oregon....we have lots of windows w full sun so hopefully we'll have a few lemons....we have a small greenhouse we can keep heated via solar power system...but I'd like to enjoy having it inside my home.

Beautiful tree and only wish you would have shown how to tease the roots properly, no worries thanks for reminding me about the gloves and I’m glad I am adding some pine mulch. Great looking plant brother

[@JessicaJLandi]

I'm so excited that this very day I saw little buds on my Meyers lemon tree. Finally something more than leaves! Now I just need to name it. Update: I put my lemon tree outside too early and the tiny little lemons dropped off. BUT...a month later, more little lemons have appeared!

[@Joec828-x8f]

Great video! I learned it’s time to bring mine inside

[@courtneyhalstead1477]

So it’s okay to transplant even when fruiting? I’m wanting to transplant mine right now - I have a month or two left of 100% outside time.

[@carmelabiernacki107]

I received a Meyer tree as a gift this year I consider myself a pretty good Gardner this is why I was given this expensive plant, did everything from day one carefully and all the leaves have turned yellow and are falling but have alot of buds and today got my first bloom, I know It's not overwatering, or underwatering, I purchased the food the plant guy at Lowe's told me to use I've done everything don't know why all the leaves are falling. Help. However what's funny is I planted 6 regular lemon seeds last year from just my store bought lemons 3 plants came out of 6 seeds which are now beautiful dark green abt 24 inches tall, yes I heard I probably won't get any lemons and that's fine but it's smells better than the meyer lemon plant which has no smell at all, and I did nothing special to this plant except feed this year when I repotted it. Would really appreciate your response TY

[@jeffc4199]

Love the video, fun and helpful. Just purchased a Meyer lemon tree and waiting to repot. We live in zone 7 TN and have this is our 2nd attempt at lemon and olive trees. Both died last year because we tried to do it in house only. I ordered citrus tone and will repot. 2 questions please. 1.It came in a 9” pot, what size do you recommend for repot? I’d like to use a 17” unless that’s too much of a jump. 2. Sunlight - we’ve been leaving it outside in the TN heat but under a covered porch. Is direct sunlight better? Also, I like the knuckle test. I still feel like I don’t know how often to water. Have you done a container olive tree video? Thanks for the quality lessons and the laughs!
