Photos always help; and because they lose all their leaves does not necessarily mean they are dead.

The Meyer tends to be quite sensitve to significant light changes; it may drop most or all its leaves, only to replace them with new leaves better suited to the new light.
If you change the container (transplant shock); and change the light conditions at the same time you have double jeopardy. My advice would be to leave it in the original container 2-3 weeks, until it adjusts to its new location; if it drops its leaves, leave it until it starts to grow again before transplanting.

Watering is critical also; if you over water a Meyer it will drop its leaves; if you let it get too dry and then water, it will drop its leaves. The good news is it will recover from all of these.

A caveat... when you transplant, do not fertilize for at least 2 weeks; the absence of fertility encourages the roots to grow in search of food; after the roots grow then the leaves and branches will grow, and they need food.

That is the key John, they MAY drop all their leaves. I have finally been able to make mine hold on to all their leaves with your advice and taking temps into consideration too.

I found that Meyer trees subjected to extreme temps changes also may drop their leaves. Worse then Ficus and we know how sensitive they can be. That is why I try to acclimate them to the temps they are going to be subjected too indoors as well as outdoors.

I appreciate what you have to say about Meyer trees. Thank you.
