When you grow up in the North, the notion of growing citrus seems ridiculous. But it turns out, growing a lemon tree indoors is actually completely easy, as long as you have a sunny window! I cannot wait to try this! since I feel as though paying a dollar for a lemon (the going rate these days) is so outrageous, I never buy them anymore.
Just make sure you use an organic lemon to start your seedling. Often the non-organic varieties have non-germinating seeds. You will also need a fertile potting soil, preferably containing peat, vermiculite, perlite, and natural fertilizers, planting pots 6 inches wide and 6 inches deep for sprouting, and another that is 24 inches wide by 12 inches deep for seeding.

I remember a great Aunt had a little lemon tree just about this size, it gave her many many lemons, this was in Michigan, outside in the summer, inside when it turned cold
I have been looking for a tabletop lemon tree literally for 7 years, since I got my kumquat, limequat, and orange. Finally found one three weeks ago!!!

Johnson’s resort store had one in the sun room, remember? Maybe you could grow one in your big window area?
