You said you've been submerging bonsai every night?? have you been putting your finger into the soil about an inch or so to feel if its dry, Watering to schedule although convenient can be one of the worst things to do. I say you maybe over watering it. Also is the tree outside or inside, keeping them inside for long periods of time can also cause problems. I don't have much experiance with privets , i'm actually recieving my first one on thursday . My advise is water only when the top inch or so appears moderate dry and put it outside if it is'ent already. Privets are pretty hardy and it should hopefully make a full recovery. good luck
