I need help, I'm almost in the middle of the summer, and I got as gift two bonsais around a week ago ( Snow Rose & Bougainvillea bonsai ). They looked healthy on the first two days, but after that, I noticed that they were losing many leaves over the past few days, and today I noticed worms inside the soil. I am still trying to figure out what to do right now because I am a beginner and wonder if it is due to over-watering or the worms/bugs. I do not want to lose them; any advice would be highly appreciated.

I dont need a photo to tell you that a tree that dies off after just two days in summer is because lack of water. Water more and more often.

These pictures are under Full spectrum LED Light for plants, the temperate from the room, and after watering the bonsai, the one in the worst condition is my Serissa Snow Rose. The leaves keep falling even with just blowing gentle air on them, and I keep picking up the ones that fall on the soil; I've been following the recommendations from the website for Serissa and Bougainvillea bonsai, but I don't have an idea what is going on with them, I was told these plants were indoor plants when I got them as a gift, and I live in an apartment, so I won't have a chance to put them outside in the sun, and the weather outside most of the time is cold. (I have been watering them daily, so I am worried it may have been too much water. I was told to water daily if temperatures are over 90 degrees).
