care of Orange plant.

[Animals4me]

Am following instructions on care...watering,sunlight,feed,etc but find the leaves are curling and dropping and looks sparse and out of shape.Any suggestions on how to restore? Have cleaned leaves and brushed flowers to encourage pollination and hopefully get fruit again.Lost all oranges quite quickly and then it has been growing erractically and shedding leaves.
Iam sure some green fingered person will ahve a laugh and tell me what Iam doing wrong! Thanks for any advice.

They are a nightmare to grow in my experience. We've had 2 satsuma, a grapefruit & lemon all have done what you describe. Where do you keep your plant? Have you checked it's not too wet/dry and do you have the correct summer/winter food?

Thanks..glad to know it isn't only me! Yes have got the right feed bottles and used all permutations...re watering and checked with various garden centres so doesn't appear that we are doing anything wrong.Trying a lime plant now which is living in a different room.Might just have to accept that Iam not lucky with house plants??

Ours live outside in the summer. If yours are indoors then maybe misting them might help they might need more humidity.
