This plant can be toxic for your pet, so we advise you not to keep them together.

Light: Lemons need plenty of sunlight to thrive. Place your tree where it will receive at least 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. If you are growing indoors, choose the brightest window possible.
Watering: Although lemons prefer slightly moist soil, it is important that the substrate has good drainage to avoid waterlogging. Water them when the top layer of soil is dry, but do not allow them to dry out completely.
Fertilisation: Feed your lemon tree with a balanced fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer). You can use a citrus-specific fertiliser according to the directions on the package.
Soil: Use a well-drained, citrus-specific substrate or potting mix. Make sure the container has drainage holes to avoid waterlogging problems.
Pruning: Perform light pruning to shape the tree and remove any dead or diseased growth. In addition, pruning can help improve air circulation and light penetration.

Yellow leaves: Yellow leaves can be a sign of several problems, such as nutrient deficiency, overwatering, root diseases or even pests.
Premature Leaf Drop: If the tree is losing leaves earlier than expected, it could be under stress due to adverse environmental conditions, lack of nutrients or watering problems.
Leaf Spots or Discoloration: Unusual spots, discoloration or leaf deformities can be signs of fungal, bacterial or viral diseases.
Poor Growth: If the tree is not growing as expected and shows signs of stagnation, this could be due to lack of nutrients, compacted soil or root problems.
Diseased Roots: Inspect the roots of Citrus Lemon for signs of rot or disease. Brown, soft or foul smelling roots are indicative of problems.
