If you need additional light for your lemon plant, you can use a grow light to supplement the sun's light.Take care of the young plant by keeping the soil damp, by making sure it gets at least eight full hours of light per day, and by giving it moderate doses of organic fertilizer like compost.Watch over your plant to ensure it is not attacked by bugs or diseases. Prune off brown, dead leaves when necessary.When the plant outgrows its small pot, put it in the larger pot. You will go through much the same procedure when you re-plant it as when you first planted it. Younger plants need more water than older plants, but they all do need adequate water. Don't starve your poor plant after all that work of growing it!
