I would leave it in the mix if u have tons of perlite in the soil it will help miracle grow just uses to much peat moss in there mix. There are wetting agent in the mix but not as much as the moisture controil mix. The moisture control mix is more what four winds are referring to. Before I knew better I put a seed grown Meyer lemon in pure miracle grow citrus mix.it didn't kill the tree but the tree didn't live up to its full potential. When I repotted it a year later the soil was so compacted and root bond its not a good soil. I would keep the tree as it is until it recovers if u repot it again with it sick you will be signing its death warrant. Just reduce your watering and keep it lightly most but not wet. By lightly most I mean almost dry but just barely damp. I hope this helps.

or, you could repot it into a much more porous mix as soon as possible. Since root rot can set in fast especially while the roots are trying to adjust...

If you are having a problem with moisture, you could either wick the pot, use much more perlite, like 80 percent, or sift out a lot of the finer particles such as the peat to make it more barkier, chunky, or use much more pine bark with just a bit of the potting mix...You have many options to make that mix more porous..

Your plant will not die of 'shock' unless it's roots have been mishandled or you have improperly introduced it to light levels and fertilizer while it adjusts...

I personally think it will die of root rot more so than the shock of repotting it again into a mix that will dry out much more faster.

Hope this helps.
