A heavy perlite soil mix, Minimal watering(once week), and afternoon shade for the first week or two...And like others said a small pot to help reduce rot...Good luck

Thanks for all the replys everyone , appreciate it...Im goin to examine the roots tomorrow to check for root rot, and plant repot in a new Medium... If i can find turface , would Chicken grit work? I have used it in my mango tree pot, to make "Als Gritty mix" and it drains very well..Also how about extra perlite?

I foliar feed 4 times a year, fertilize every 2 months with 8-2-10 slow release, And these were planted in miracle grow cactus/citrus soil.The leaves that fell off were all still green...I had scale on my mango tree next to it but took control of them insecticidal soap, and pulling them off one by one, but havent noticed any on the citrus trees...
