    Hello!

    A few months ago I purchased an everflowering Pondarosa Lemon Tree. It was covered with fragrant flowers, had three lemons, and looked very healthy.

    Since I have had it, all of the flowers have dropped, along with most of the buds. This tree is supposed to flower year round, so I am curious if I am doing something wrong. I know it does not get enough natural sunlight so I purchased two grow-lights which are fixed above the tree to the ceiling and run 6 hours a day.

    (Pictures are linked below to show)

    Here are some of the things I am worried about:
    1. Leaves are curling
    2. Buds dropping
    3. Some holes in leaves (dry spots)

    Here is what I am doing:
    1. Watering every three weeks or so, and adding all purpose 20/20/20 fertilizer every second watering
    2. Misting every few days
    3. Using two growlights 6hrs a day to provide more light

    I don’t know if I..
    1. Am using enough fertilizer/right kind
    2. Am getting enough light from growlights
    3. It’s warm enough..

    Here are some pictures:

    Is there anyone with experience with Pondarosa Lemons who can give me some tips/input?

    Thank you!
