Thank you very much. I am also sharing some photos. The quality is not that great, hopefully it will still be useful for seeing/analyzing the problems further.

Mit - is this a full-size or a dwarf orange? They have differing
needs.

I am the parent of a dwarf Washington orange that is (knock on wood)
doing well. Finally, after 2 failed attempts. One was insufficient sun.
The second, I don't know why.

Third time was the charm. When the first 12 or so oranges got ready
to
pick -- in So. Calif that's around January -- this secular being was so
moved that I recited a blessing for first fruits.

Now there are 2 little babies just starting their long climb toward
my
bouche.

If yours is a dwarf, give it plenty of water -- not daily shallow,
but
approx weekly via long, slow flow. If you have rain, lucky you!

Fertilize according to plant's requirements; easily ascertained
on-line. Don't just throw it on and work in; needs to be at appropriate
time.

Keep us posted as to its progress.
