Caring for Your Mini Lemon Plant

Watering – Mist the soil lightly when it starts to dry out. Avoid overwatering.

How Does It Perfume Your Home?
Lemon plants naturally release a light citrusy scent from their leaves, especially when touched. As the plant grows, it will fill your home with a refreshing lemon aroma, making your space feel fresh and clean.
For an extra boost of fragrance, you can:
Gently rub the leaves to release more scent. Place the plant near an open window to spread the aroma. Spray the leaves with a bit of water to intensify the fragrance.
