Meyers are a bit sensitive to light changes; especially potted Meyers. A drastic change in light will often cause it to shed most or all of its leaves to replace them with new leaves better suited to the new environment. If it is showing new life, it will recover. What you SHOULD do is to move it from full sun to partial shade; then to full shade; and then indoors. Do the same in reverse when you put it back outside and I think you will have better luck.

or setup some artificial lighting with either a shop light with flouro tubes or a few large clamp on lamps with high wattage CFL's. a few pvc pipes to make a cheap stand, a power strip and a timer.

Hi Donald,
I have become obsessed with the Meyer lemon. The fragrant flowers and the flavor, AWESOME!

I had a HUGE one a few years ago that I sadly lost but this year I replaced it with a much smaller tree.

Houstontexas has given you some great advice. I grow all my citrus(except for my keylime), under my 600 watt HPS light, butI have to say, even with that, I still lost a handfull of leaves off of my tree. I got the tree roughly a month ago, and about 2 weeks ago, right around the same time leaves were dropping, I had an explosion of new growth.

For us northern growers, I truly believe that supplemental lighting is the best way to go for growing citrus over our dark, and cold winters. Even if your lucky enough to have a large enough window for your citrus, the light quality probobly still isnt that great. How many days during the winter do we have nice bright sunny skies? I know where in live in western NY, we don't have too many!

You have made an excellent choice for an indoor lemon tree. I also own a Ponderosa, but I have to say, I still much prefer the flavor of my Meyer lemons!

Andrew
