Though it varies dependent on factors such as relative humidity, temperature, and plant maturity or size, a potted lemon tree should be watered thoroughly about once every 5 days, or when the soil is dry to the touch 2-3 inches below the surface.
How often should a lemon tree be watered?
Watering is one of the most important things to consider. Your tree needs to be watered twice a week until it begins to show new growth. After that, citrus trees like to dry out between watering, so once your trees are established, deep-water once every 10 days to two weeks.
Can you water a lemon tree too much?
Hi David, lemons indicate they have too little water by the leaves going yellow, then falling off the plant and starting to shrivel. The plants literally defoliate. Too much water triggers the plants to defoliate as well, however the leaves do not normally fade in colour and the tips of the stems will go black.
