Meyer Lemon Leaf Drop Indoors: Light, Humidity, and Water Fixes

Winter leaf drop on Meyer lemon is usually caused by three factors: low light, dry air, and overwatering.

Rescue Plan

1. Water only when dry: Finger test 2 inches down—water only if dry.
2. Boost humidity: Keep away from heat vents. Set pot on a pebble tray with water (pot above water line).
3. Add light: Clamp light with 25W CFL (100W equivalent) 6 inches from foliage.
4. No fertilizer until moved outdoors in spring.
