No root pruning, all I did was comb out the roots so they can grow outwards, threw a cd under it with a small layer of soil on top What do you mean by a small amount? Make sure the roots have a good covering of soil. to encourage the roots to grow outwards as well. Gave it a good watering and am keeping it in shade. If it's in full shade all day, find a place where it is mottled shade. When you see it's recovering, move it out into the full sun.

Anything I'm forgetting?
Hi ma7t,
Make sure you give it a drink of Seasol a couple of times a week until you see it recovering.

Regards Ray
Yeah the roors are sweet, when I said with a small amount of soil on top I was referring to the amount on top of the cd, between the cd and roots.
Moved it into mottled sun. Just need to feed it now.

Thanks heaps Ray for all your help.
