Your orange tree must have lots of direct sunlight all day long to do well indoors. Unfortunately, the repotting has aggravated its problems. Larger pots and fertilizer should be limited to plants that are healthy and growing vigorously.

You can try pruning off all dead branches. I also suggest that you move it back into a smaller pot so you can avoid keeping ther oots wet for too long.

If you cannot provide lots of direct sunlight, then it is probably a lost cause no matter waht you do.
