Get some liquid citrus feed and feed it regularly during flowering/fruiting. Also, unless you live in a soft water area, ideally water it with rain water rather than tap water. At least, that was the advice given to me for my Kaffir Lime tree.

also when it starts producing leaves, try to put it in full sun. If it's indoors or in shade the new leaves grow very large and aren't particularly attractive, also the stems grow quite long
