Outdoors, lemon trees are exceptionally hardy and mostly pest-free, but indoors, various pests, such as mealybugs, aphids, mites, and whiteflies can target them. Most pests can be managed with proper dosing of an organic pesticide such as neem oil, insecticidal soap, or pyrethrin. Always follow the instructions listed on each product, and never spray when beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs are present.
Lemons for All
After all that, the real question is: Why throw away lemon seeds and continuously buy bag after bag of lemons at the store? Instead, use them to grow a lemon tree of your own. Follow these steps, and with a little care, you’ll be enjoying your own lemons in no time.
