My kumquat tree is nearly bald - kept in a warm room, out of draughts, damp. HELP!?

It was a present just before Christmas. There was a massive amount of fruit and leaves but now it is in a sorry state. I have tried not to move it about, but I wonder if it doesn't like a dry-ish room.

perhaps the air was too dry. they like sunny to partly shady areas
Reply:the dry air could have been the problem. they are evergreen, but sometimes loose leaves. was the plant in a small container. if it was then it probably wasnt meant to last longer than christmas.
Reply:The problem with a fruit tree indoors is humidity and light. Don't over water. Temps +25 °C (77 °F) to +38 °C (100.4 °F), but can withstand frost down to about −10 °C (14 °F) without injury. It grows in the tea regions of China where the climate is too cold for other citrus They do fine in containers, but get it outside as soon as you can.
