I just got a meyer lemon tree about two weeks ago and it is doing less than favorably. I keep it outside during the day to get plenty of sun (it's somewhere in the 60's around here during this time of year) and bring it in during the night. I put an organic 7-3-3 fertilizer in with it when I transplanted that is supposedly made for citrus, and even though I have heard mixed reviews I put used coffee grounds around the base of the tree to help acidify the soil. I am also trying carefully not to over water, because I have also heard they don't tolerate over watering. Does anyone have any advice as what I can do for the plant? Or maybe what I'm doing wrong?

That plant is sem-tropical to tropical (depending upon variety & source). Right now, it needs heat and light (preferably sunlight). I would not keep it outside until the temps get a lot better. I'd reccomend keeping it under a grow light if yyou have one, and only water when dry. Hope this helps.
