Hi
Picked up a little ficus for the window sill, I don't tend to go for indoor bonsai usually.
It was in a terrible pot and hadn't had much care. I repotted into a better pot, didn't mess about with the roots but some of the longer roots came off. Repotted it in akadama without giving it much though. It's been keep watered fine and has plenty of light but it's starting to lose leaves.
Could it be adjusting to it's new environment or should I repot in a more suitable medium?

It is adapting itself to the new conditions.
Ficus can lose all leaves and still grow new ones quite happily.
DON'T repot it again, wait at least one year to do that.
