From my indoor "bible"...Paul Lesniewicz "Bonsai in Your Home" (If you are going to try much indoors, BUY this book. It's great.) "Always keep the plant uniformly moist, because it will shrivel easily and simply stop growing if the root ball has been allowed to dry out." I let one of mine get too dry and all the leaves went brown and then dropped off. But I kept it watered and it is now greening up again (6 months later) so hopefully yours will make it even if this was the problem.

Jacks advice is good...that will elimate or confirm root problems. My guess is it's the watering.
