I've been growing a lemon tree from a store-bought lemon seed for about half a year now. A few days ago the temperatures have started to increase and since then the tree looks dried out, even though the soil is moist and has been watered regularly.

enter image description here

Since I was suspecting a heat stroke, I've placed the plant inside in half-shadow, but nothing seems to happen already for around a week. The leaves aren't crispy, but just curled up. I've fertilized the soil and also placed it in an open, north-facing window to provide some air movement. Also increasing the local air humidity with a tray didn't seem to have any effect so far.

What exactly is wrong with the lemon tree? How can I rescue it?

On the internet I found that this might be an issue with the roots. Can I trim them somehow?

The little lemon tree will be quite alright after some water has been given. Two or three days will be enough.

Important things not to do: don't overwater; do not change the position drastically, a bit of shade (umbrella) is enough; don't fertilize; most importantly: don't panic!
