I have a lemon, lime and orange that one of them bloomed once and then nothing. Do we have to do lights and such? I use the lime leaves in Thai cooking. Lemon leaves will lower blood pressure. But, I never get any flowers/fruit. For my other plants, I have LED blue/red/violet lights. For vegetables, I have an orange/white/red/blue LED bulb that I haven't tried yet.

The trees are about 3 feet tall and 9 years old. I bought them from one of the mail order nurseries. This year, they stayed in for the summer. Last year they were out all summer. I see no difference.

My great fun this year is African Violets. I bought 9 new ones. 5 are sweet starts from a seller on eBay. They are beautiful and one is already flowering. 4 were dollar, non-blooming Optimara's from Lowe's. I already had one trailer and what I think may be Optimara Millenia.
Don't make fear based decisions.
