When I got my lemon tree the leaves looked the same. I trimmed all the leaves and now my tree is doing great!

should i trim just the leaves or part of the stem aswell. before this i had cut most of the leaves cause it had powdery mildew

Depends on how tall you want the tree. It looks good I would just trim off the leaves.

Make sure it’s got proper drainage. I forgot to punch the draining holes out and accidentally drowned one once😬 If that’s good make sure it’s not too dry either, they like it evenly moist. Recommend 2” of mulch

My lemon tree was struggling indoors over these winter months so I added coffee grounds to a gallon of water and have been using that intermittently to boost nitrogen. Yellowing of leaves has diminished significantly and leaf health has improved overall.
