Okay, I have no kumquats (how sad) :shy:

But I did have orange/lemon and also cactus type succulents. One other tip. When (?) it begins to get sunny I put those kinds of plants outside for just a few hours a day and bring them back in. They often need real light on their leaves. But not constant bright sun so best done early in the morning, or later in afternoon. And, maybe start off little at a time just to make sure the leaves do not burn.

They like it under a bigger tree where they get filtered sunshine like they would in 'wild'

Does mean lugging plant around, but I have mine on those wheely things to make it easier.

The first time I did this the new growth was amazing! Also seemed to strengthen plant each year so that it did not drop leaves the following year.
