Help! I bought my wife a
and its leaves turned pretty brown. We read up on it and suspected root rot, so we unpotted it, removed the soil from the roots (it was in all-dirt), trimmed the rotten roots, repotted it with new soil for the root ball and bonsai soil (that shell/rock mix) lining the container as recommended. She also trimmed off the brown leaves.
Some leaves are still turning brown! Help - can anyone give us any advice?

Things will not change instantly. I hope you have not got it inside, if you have get it outside now. Then wait, keep it watered and hope.

Beginner repotting newly purshased trees seldom succeeds. That has caused a lot of dead trees.
All you needed to do was move it outdoors and problem would be solved.
Now, whats done is done, put it outdoors in shade to recover and focus on watering.
