Meyer Lemon Problems [View all]

Any tips? We had our dwarf lemon out on the patio here in Albuquerque NM, zone 7 I believe. It had a good number of blooms in the spring and started lemons... but they all failed to develop. We tried to protect it from pests with neem spray, but saw a few leaves eaten here and there.
Now it's going into the little greenhouse we set up in the garage for the winter with a nice new grow light. I think it needs a bigger pot. We're going to set up a heater to keep the temp above 50 degrees. Citrus fertilizer. What are we missing? Is there anything else we can do to support it to develop lemons?

Thanks!
