People on various forms say repotting should only be done in the spring. Personally I have repotted in just about every months of the year with no problems at all, you can do as you feel best for your tree. The 5-1-1 mix is pretty straight forward. It is a blend of 5 parts small sized bark, 1 part peat and 1 part perlite. I don't use it, but it seems to be a good enough mix, especially for smaller sized trees. For large trees in bigger containers, I don't know if it could give the tree enough anchorage to hold up a tree in fruit. Looking at the limequat's leaves I would say it could possibly be from under fertilizing, or it is possible that they are just getting to be old leaves ready to be discarded. A citrus tree does not waste anything. When a leaf becomes to old to perform it duties, the tree removes the nitrogen from the leaf for use elsewhere in the tree, then discards it. That's why old leaves begin to turn yellow before it is discarded. Citrus leaves have a life span of just a little under 2 years (about 22 months). I can't say for sure as I have never used Foliage Pro, but 1/4 tsp/gallon does not seem to be enough nutrition for citrus variety.
