Meyer Lemon Trees

[Dylweed]

I was passing by a nursery about 2 months ago and came across some interesting fruit trees. To my surprize as I am a complete noob to gardening I found out that I could grow lemons in my living room. Tada! I snatched the Meyer lemon tree witch had 2 lemons on it already. Haven't re-potted it yet. It is very emotional and wilts when ever it pleases and it even used to have brown scale fits. It seems to be under control now. I even have a small colony of jumping spiders protecting it 24 hours 7 days a week. I planted all the seeds I could get out of my meyer lemons and they are all finally sprouting. Here are some pics of my meyer lemon adventures:

Those lemon trees look great, especially the little seedling! :)

I'm thinking of growing one of these, how long did it take for the seed to sprout? Also how big did the lemons get on your larger trees?

The lemons look really cool :D please keep posting pictures as they progress!

When I planted all my meyer seeds it took them about a month to a month and a half to germinate. I have noticed that the ones in terricotta pots are thriving compared to the ones in the green plastic pots. I guess the terricotta breaths easier. They love the full sun too. I am going to try and throw some updated pics to show you muslim growers what my meyer tree has done since the last post. I am lookinf forward to growing these seedlings because I hear you can bonsai these meyers. I saw a vid on youtube here is a link:
