growing lime tree in a pot

I am receiving a lime tree from my family for Mom’s Day. I live in Carroll County, Georgia. It is currently in a pot and about 1-2 feet tall. Should I leave it in the pot til it gets bigger and then plant it in the ground? And, what should the pH be for growing a lime tree?
