Hi There Teliko & welcome to bonsaiTALK

A picture of your tree would be really helpful. *and knowing what season it is where you are now.

Cotoneasters behave mostly like evergreen shrubs, but when they get very cold they can shift into a decidous mode and drop leaves. *

Even when given the best of care, some amount of leaf turnover is normal. *Leaves will not last more than a year or so before they will be shed and replaced with new ones.

Are the leaves falling from the interior of the tree or the exterior branches, or everywhere? *Is there any sign of branch growth at the tips of the branches?

And of course, we have to ask where the plant is located, indoors or out.

You might want to take a look in the ***FAQ*** for watering hints. *It's currently #22, but it keeps getting pushed down as more items are added. Keep in mind that too much water can be a bad thing.
Regards,

Matt
