If the plant is young and not grafted, it needs to be grafted against a fruiting lemon. If it does not grow, the pot may be too small, transplant it into a larger one. Apply fertilizer periodically.
Create conditions for the plant in which it will feel that in order to prolong its genus it needs to create seeds. That is, place it in a window where there is enough light and a lower temperature, optimal for winter 10-12 degrees. Try watering less often and be sure to prune. The flower will feel that it may die and will throw away the flower and fruit.
If a lemon is grown from a seed, it will not bloom. It didn’t bloom for ten years and disappeared. You need to graft a cultivated bud onto the tree, and it will begin to bloom in about a couple of years.
I’ll add to the previous answers: in the summer, try to keep the lemon on a glassed-in balcony, but avoid drafts. Your tree should also receive sunlight regularly, 2 hours a day of direct rays. Spray it 2 times a week.
No way, the fact that your tree has grown is already a great feat; exotic plants require special care and attention, but even this does not save you. Such plants are prone to attack by scale insects.
As far as I know, they don’t bear fruit if they come from the seed, they need to be grafted
