Advice on lemon cutting

9 years ago

Hi, I've been looking on this forum for a while it's been fantastic and I have read lots of useful advice. I live in the U.K. back in 2015 my love of citrus began when we went on holiday to Spain and had a lemon tree in the garden. We took lemons home and I have a lovely 2 yr old tree grown from seed, it may never grow fruit but it reminds me of my holiday and I love it, anyway last year I went back to Spain and took a cutting from the tree after reading advice on here about how to do it. I took the cutting June 2016 and it finally rooted in January this year and has grown some new branches. I will add a photo but I wonder if anyone can advise me when to repot it and maybe use the 5-1-1 mix? There is a root poking out the bottom of the pot. Sometimes new leaves and branches grow and dry up and fall off so i'm not sure if I'm watering it right? I don't know when to stop treating it like a cutting? I'm very much a novice at this but would really appreciate any advice anyone has.

thank you
