At least yours has done better than mine. You might want to take photos to a garden store and ask what it needs. It'd be a good idea to so that before the growing season starts. Maybe.

Or call a garden store and send pictures.

This seems to be important:

Proper Watering

Citrus trees prefer deep, infrequent watering rather than frequent, shallow watering.

Use a moisture meter or your finger to check the top 2 inches of soil; water when dry.

Water slowly and thoroughly until it drains from the bottom. Avoid letting the soil stay soggy, which can lead to root rot.

Oh, and there's this:

Fertilizing Citrus Indoors

Meyer lemon trees are heavy feeders, especially during their active growing season (spring and summer).

Use a fertilizer designed for acid-loving or citrus plants, following the label instructions carefully.

Recommended options include:

E.B. Stone Citrus & Fruit Tree Food – balanced nutrients for flowering and fruiting.

Down to Earth Citrus Mix Fertilizer – organic and slow-release.

Phyta-Grow Leafy Green Special Fertilizer – supports foliage and overall plant health.

Maybe it's been hungry. It might not enjoy the same food as pot does.
