Exclamation repotted maple and now leaves wilted

I bought a grafted maple about a year ago. I think it is about 10 years old since the graft. I did not repot is last year because I wanted to give it a chance to get used to the new environment.

About 1 week ago I decided to repot it. I cleaned all the old soil from the roots and repotted with a mixture of about 1/3 potting soil, 1/3 fir bark, and 1/3 sand. I did not do much root pruning and I used the same pot that it came in. I also decided I would repot this tree as a root over rock. Most of the roots are still under the soil. Just as far as they were before I repotted it.

When I watered it, I put some superthrive in the water. I only did that twice when I noticed that the leaves were all wilting. I have been watering as needed (it has been raining a few days since it was repotted) since then.

The leaves are not drying out, but I am not sure what to do with it at this point. I do have some vitamin b1 plant starter that I could give it, but I dont want to make it worse.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
