Donīt panik. Soaking in cool water is never a good idea and especially
not on a tree that has been stressed. Not so sure about the hormones and
fertilizer either. Scince the tree has lost itīs leaves you should be
careful with the watering, let the soil dry up between waterings. Place
the tree in semi shade. Put a clear plastic bag over it (preferebly with
some sticks in the corners of the pot to avoid the bag laying against
the branches) to keep the humidity high.

Hello!
A massive heat wave came through yesterday (40 degrees celcius) and COOKED
my 10 yr old chinese elm. The leaves have shrivled and come crispy and fall
off when u touch them. I wasnt home at the time, otherwise Id have moved
him. He's still green inside, and has tiny green soft branches which havent
dried - will he recover? I soaked him in cool water with root hormones and
feterlizer. Will the leaves recover? Or do I have to wait till next spring?
(He drops and rebuds at spring).
