I have a Meyer lemon tree in a pot that goes out in the summer and in the winter. It’s in a 14” pot and about 2 1/2 ft high.

It produced 5 lemons last year and currently has 5 lemons on it. I pollinate it with an artists brush. This winter I had to treat for scale with insecticidal soap and wipe down leaves and branches. The foliage is pretty sparse. It’s under a grow light all winter. I fertilize on occasion not wanting to overdo during winter months. I will move it outside weather permitting. What else can I do to increase leaf development? Thanks
