Lemon Tree

[glitterfinder]

Hi, I have a three-year-old lemon tree (planted from a pip). It's been in a pot outside on a sunny south-facing windowledge since last March. It's done really well this season and has turned into a proper little tree at last.
I gather I need to bring it in for the winter soon (UK). Has anyone done this successfully without hurting the tree? It will be coming into a centrally heated flat. I intend to mist it daily but it will probably be inside until Spring and I expect it to have a reaction.

Put it in the coolest part of your flat, with access to light. It may drop all its leaves in protest.
I have a Calemondian Orange & Key Lime - I put them both out over the summer & have now brought them in. They're on my south-facing window & are happy enough even though a radiator is near by. I water every few days. The orange gas dropped a few leaves but mostly fine.

How lovely!
They like cool but bright over the winter. Central heating might be too warm for it is the big concern. Misting is good.
My only experience of keeping fruit alive for more than a year though is a massive pineapple plant which refuses to die despite me not caring for it.

I used to bring mine into the conservatory each winter. When we moved and had no conservatory I thought it might prefer to be out in a sheltered spot, rather than in a warm house. It died. I’m still annoyed about it. It would be better to give it a chance in a coolish spot indoors.

Cool and bright. I have no problem, in a solid stone walled Victorian house. Cool we can do. Nearly killed it last summer by forgetting to water for, ooh, weeks. Or maybe months. Cut it back to a stump and it’s reshooting vigorously. Strong will to live.
