Theree's a chance could be spider mites.you'd see trails on the leaves and the leaves may curl& might see ants(they heard about the bugs& came to eat)
This would be early sign of mites

also you mention lack of fertilizeing.The oldest leaves would show the 1st signs of nutrient defiencys.Longy is good for this topic.I believe he told me 1st yr fertlize 4 times& the 2nd yr 5 times. A fertilized plant thats healthy will fight off stuff better than a poorly fertilized one.they make citris spikes also,but i'm good about fertilizeing and my kumquat proably gets more than it needs being its doubled in size at 2 years,but grown inground versis your container.I have a Meiwa. they have a tastier fruit. they do like alot of water.especially on hot days& windy days

I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!
