#### 5. **Water and Wait**
Keep the soil moist but not soggy. A light misting daily or watering every few days works well. Don’t forget to empty any excess water from the saucer to prevent root rot.
#### 6. **Feeding Time**
Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 3–4 weeks during the growing season (spring through fall).
### Caring for Your Mini Tree
Your lemon tree may not produce fruit right away—patience is key. But even without lemons, the glossy leaves and sweet-scented blooms are worth the wait. Prune gently to shape your tree and encourage bushier growth, and rotate it occasionally so all sides get equal sunlight.
### Final Tips
– If the leaves turn yellow, it might be a sign of overwatering or poor drainage.
– Move your plant outside during warmer months for a sunlight boost—just bring it back before the temperature drops below 50°F (10°C).
– With time and care, your little cup-grown lemon tree might surprise you with a fragrant flower or even a small fruit.
