Post a photo, tell us what rootstock it is on, and maybe have a little patience. If it is going to bloom this year, it should do so in a cupla months.

basic care for almost all container citrus is this provide a very good draining soil, visit the container forum for some great mixes provide full sun, minimum 6-8 hours water when nearly dry, overwatering will cause root rot quickly fertilize regularly with a soluble brand at about a 3:1:2 ratio of NPK with minors if possible if not add them separately. Foliage Pro has everything citrus wants and makes fertilizing easy. Many here love it, you dont have to have it just make it easier. Some people add a bit of white vinegar when they water to lower the PH. citrus prefer a slightly acidic soil. try and maintain a soil temperature above 55 for active growth in winter. if this is difficult to do in winter then you should back off of the watering a lot and decrease the amount of light to avoid winter leaf drop And most important, dont be afraid to ask questions we love to help out oh and we all love to see pics of members trees, especially if you have issue because we can diagnose them must easier. good luck Mike

Search for Al Tapla's 5-1-1 mix or gritty mix. These potting mediums allow for fast drainage thus preventing root rot. Makes it difficult to over-water. Very worth the afternoon it takes to prepare and pot. Order some Foliage Pro as you'll need a fertilizer with micronutrients. Add a tiny bit of vinegar to the fertilizer water.

My dwarf orange tree is coming back. In 2 months, all leaves have curled, turned yellow/brown, and fallen off. At what I thought was the end, green curled leaves fell off, smaller branches have all turned brown and died. Thought the small dwarf orange was a goner. First, my mistake was I left the soil that was from the original pot around the roots. For some reason, the stuff they used clumped hard, and would just soak all the water in, so in a week it still felt moist. I didn't check till all the leaves have fallen off, and I thought it was too late. I later made my new soil with plenty of rocks at the bottom and used potting soil with the little Styrofoam looking beads mixed well in and moved the tree to a larger pot. I used about 10 drops of miracle grow plant food, and just let the tree sit there for a week, 2nd week I just very lightly watered, barely sprinkled it. 3rd week, small buds and leaves are forming all around again, small flowers seem to be jutting out of branches that I thought were almost dead. So now, i'm limiting my watering down to 1 to 2 times a week and this is just a basic light sprinkle till it re-establishes itself. Then I will start watering it once a week fully as before when the roots start growing more. But so far so good. My lesson? Even in the heat here in LA, these small dwarf trees do not need extra water, if you see leaf curling or browning tips and leaves falling off. Cut back on the watering. this picture is from my cell phone, so not the greatest, but I hope hope you can see the little buds of leaves and flowers starting to jut out.
