Growing Meyer Lemon Indoors with a Grow Light

Q: What grow light setup works for a Meyer lemon tree in winter?

A: I use a 26-watt (100-watt equivalent) CFL bulb in a reflective clamp fixture, positioned 8 inches above the tree. The plant thrives—it bloomed in January and currently holds five lemons.
