    Thank you for all the replies. Hopeful of it surviving now. Will give it occasional rain water sprays too.

    Posting photos sideways is a fault on this site. There are ways to rectify it but, for now,

    Wow, thank you  :)
  • Are the leaves soft? It looks to me as if it lacks water? And are the roots coming out from the bottom? My seedlings are much smaller but in the same size pot. Not sure if yours will be happier if repotted to a bigger pot.

    They are evergreen,and only an occasional leaf comes off. We used to live in Spain in the middle of Orange groves, they always looked their best in winter,still being irrigated.The blossom is very fragrant around April time.
    But as someone said, central heating might be too much,not quite the same as the sun.
    Misting might help.
    My Grandmother had one on her cold landing windowsill for years and years.
    Its nice to grow things from pips and stones etc.
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.

    Thank you for your reply, No heating where it is at the moment. It's just suddenly gone droopy and lost the gloss on it's leaves, was hoping it was just because it's Autumn. After repotting I'm going to spray it and hope it cheers up

    I would wait till the spring to repot, because it will be having a winter rest
