Mine suffered a lot in the last 2 years.
Eventually repotted it in a new compost and some manure and I sprayed it for scale insect (twice) and I treated it for vine weevil (seem prone to that).

The potting mix was made heavier then normal multi-purpose compost as it is a tree.

The pot is 34cm dia and 30cm deep, I allow it to dry out a little on the top before watering. Your pot looks too small and it may be suffering form getting too dry.

They are a tropical plant, think 40c and a humidity of 100%, they do not like cold they do not do cool very well either, if it is trapped between the window and a curtain then it may be getting too cold.

I seem to have it about right now as it is throwing out 3 new shoots that will form new branches from the main trunk base.
