Citrus Tree Leaf Drop After Moving Indoors

Why Your Grapefruit Tree Is Losing Leaves Inside

A 4-year-old seed-grown grapefruit drops leaves after being moved indoors for winter. This is a classic shock response to reduced light, lower humidity, and temperature changes.

Care Tips

• Place in the brightest possible window (south-facing ideal).
• Keep away from heating vents and cold drafts.
• Water when top inch of soil is dry; don't overwater.
• New, adapted leaves will emerge. Do not fertilize until active growth resumes.

Seed-grown citrus rarely fruits but makes attractive foliage plants.
