Place the tree outdoors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to place it outdoors in daylight, so that it can bear fruit and pollinate the bees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Pay attention to the position<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lemons should be kept at room temperature with access to water and in a shaded area.&nbsp;If your area is too hot, consider direct sunlight for extended periods or heat them indoors in the winter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Maintain an appropriate temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The lemon plant needs a temperature of 70 degrees during the day and 55 degrees at night.&nbsp;When daytime temperatures drop below 54 degrees, the plant enters dormancy to conserve the energy needed for growth without producing fruit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is the best time to grow your own lemon trees and you can do it with a little planning.&nbsp;However, you will have to be patient, because these citrus fruits are among the easiest to grow, even if you are a beginner!
