Make sure to keep it away from drafty windows and radiators, as sudden temperature changes can damage your tree. Additionally, take note of any sudden cold spells in your area and transition the tree indoors until the weather warms up.<\/p>\n
Finally, it’s important to take note of changes in humidity levels. To maintain healthy levels, make sure to use a hygrometer to monitor humidity and get a humidity tray if needed. You’ll also want to mist the leaves of the tree once or twice a week, as this adds an extra dose of moisture that the tree needs.<\/p>\n
Insect and Disease Control<\/h2>\n
When transitioning a lemon tree indoors, it’s important to monitor it closely for signs of insect damage or disease. Many citrus pests, such as mealybugs, can quickly spread indoors, while fungal diseases can cause leaves to wilt and turn yellow. Additionally, citrus scab, canker and greasy spot can quickly cause destruction to a lemon tree.<\/p>\n
To prevent the spread of infestations, it’s important to quarantine new plants prior to bringing them into a room. Additionally, regular monitoring of your lemon tree can help to detect any possible issues early on. Make sure to look for brown spots on leaves, wilting and yellowing of leaves, as well as strange insects on the tree.<\/p>\n
If an infestation is discovered, make sure to treat it quickly and to avoid introducing a fungus or insecticide indoors. Some organic and chemical-free treatments like horticultural oil and insecticidal soap may be used on leaf spot and mite problems. Additionally, trimming any diseased limbs and leaves quickly can help limit the spread.<\/p>\n
