Hi, does anyone know how I can help my lemon tree??? I thought she was just young but now that I have another citrus plant, I’m realizing how badly I’ve neglected her. I want her to thrive!! Please help!! I will literally do anything to help her! She was one of my first I just want her to live, laugh, love!!!!!! I water her every 2 weeks/ a month depending on how dry her soil is and she has a grow light. I think I need to trim her but I’m not sure how. PLEASE HELP THANK YOU

Citrus needs lots of light. Put it in the brightest spot you have and put it outdoors in the summer. You should also use a citrus fertilizer and well draining soil. This one looks pretty rough, I don't know if it's worth saving it just depends on your attachment to it.

About pruning, they're pretty tolerant of severe pruning but I would be moderate in this case. Cut off any Deadwood and shape the rest up so that they're all approximately the same length from the main stem.
