I am growing a lemon tree (the small kind) in a pot and although its had some difficulty, it now appears to be doing ok and has grown about as big as it can get in its current pot. Some leaves turn upside down and one or two have browned or dried, I suspect from the intense heat here, however I wish to repot it - its summer here, the plant is no longer flowering but does have some slowly growing fruit thats been growing for several months now - is it ok to repot, what are some tips for putting it int a bigger pot, and how do I get it out of its current pot with minimal damage? Any tips?

As someone who knows nothing about gardening I would smash the old pot, put a bit of dirt in the new pot, put the plant in, add more dirt

Wise advice. Sadly the pot is plastic

So cut it off with a box knife numbnuts..

What type of lemon tree do you have? Do you have a Eureka, Lisbon or thornless?

Make a rainforest around it and it will thrive. Keep the soil somewhat acidic. Keep the temperature up in the 70's and 80's. Pot it up when it gets bigger. Use MH lights.

Eureka as far as i recall. Or possibly meyer. Its a dwarf variety so stays relatively small

High temp is not an issue, even in winter it will be above 20C through the day. Whats your suggestion for keeping acidic soil? I read vinegar but that seems a touch intense - thoughts?
