    Hi! I am a brand new user so please forgive me if I don't do this right!

    I got a free Meyer lemon tree from Gurney's in the mail today. I now realize I am very naive, but I was fully expecting a several-feet-tall tree in a pot and what I got looks like a twig with leaves in a few inches of soil in a little cardboard tube! I'm attempting to attach a photo :-).

    I want to grow the lemon tree as a houseplant, but it is my first exotic plant and I have no idea whatsoever how to take care of it! I (naively again, apparently) thought it would come with at least some instructions. I don't even know what size pot to use or what type of soil to plant it in. I don't want it to die!

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
