    Was the tree affected by the cold before you brought it in, and how cold does it get in your area? My lime was outside in temps only in the 20s before I brought it in, and it suffered from damage to its limbs and lost all its leaves. So that could be one reason. Another could be the humidity and watering schedule. Limes can tolerate higher temps but warm and inside usually means dryer air. If you’ve underwatered the tree, when you water it again, it will sometimes drop its leaves. They like balance of not too dry but not too wet. They also like partial to full sun so the shaded spot in the kitchen probably doesn’t help. I hope this helps!

    Sounds like it might not be getting enough light now that it’s inside. Citrus trees thrive in full sun
