this used to be a pretty big grapefruit....the big leaves soon fell off and in no time every leave was gone...I cut it pretty drastic and now i have some new leaves... What should i do? can it have full sun? easy on the water? I think that is the reason it almost died!! (too much water...)

I take it this is a seed grown plant ? Looks like it is comming back nicely. Give it full sun & it should do fine.

Don't overwater & fertilize very lightly.
