    Hello fellow tropical fruit lovers! I've been lurking in this forum for a few weeks now. I live in apartment in Iowa so I know my limitations. :) In any case, I'd like to try growing some new plants and a Meyer lemon from Logee's looks beautiful. I'm a little unsure how to raise the little fella to be happy. For one thing, I have only western exposure and I'm not sure a lemon tree would get enough natural light. If I get a flourescent setup, could I hang it over an aquarium for humidity or would it get too hot? For another thing, Logee's is selling a three for one: Meyer lemon, Key lime, and myrtle leaf orange. I don't know if any or all of those would be happy in my environment.

    Does anyone have a favorite book to recommend? Any tips from personal experience are more than welcome too!
