I was wondering whether I should give my sinensis a warmer winter to continue its growth because it lost all its leaves last winter-spring and had to recover or is that worse than giving it dormancy?

if you can't provide it with some extra light then simply don't go for higher temps. your tree will be happier dormant, with lower temps and light level, than with higher temps and insufficient light. which usually results in leaf drop sometimes even followed by twig dieback. a citrus tree won't grow unless all of the three, temperature, light and humidity thresholds are met.

good luck,

Is it 1tsp or 1tbsp to a Gallon of Water?, saw the ratio a while back, can't find the correct amount to use.
