Why Are My Meyer Lemons Staying Small and Drying Out? Hi everyone, My Meyer lemon plant has been flowering, but the fruits remain small, turn yellow, and dry out before they can grow properly. Does anyone know why this might be happening? What steps can I take to help the fruits grow bigger and healthier? I’d really appreciate your suggestions and guidance. Thank you in advance for your help!
Lemon trees need to grow outside in full sun and experience all four seasons in order to be the healthiest and thrive, I’d suggest planting it outside or at the very least have it in a pot outside in full sun

They need super high intensity light for at least 6 hours a day. It may also not have been properly pollinated so the fruit won’t mature. If you live somewhere it gets below freezing at night/day I’d keep it inside

They may need a citrus fertilizer. And if you have a grow light, 12hrs on
