I also noticed that all the leaves on my Flying Dragon seedlings are also turning yellow and dropping from the tree.  It is that time of the year. Flying dragon should survive inside a home no matter what room you put them in. - Millet

I was thinking that as well.

TriangleJohn:
When they drop their leaves they are dormant. When they are dormant they tend to rot if watered too often. So I would wait for them to lose all of their leaves, move them into the warmest room and only water them a tiny bit, let them spend winter on the dry side. Once they start to grow more leaves in the Spring, start watering them more often. None of my citrus like to be sitting in wet soil. After it gets cold I only water them once a month.
