This plant has lost leaves prematurely, you have it inside. That is a killer. The picture does not show anything other than it is inside not where it must be. It may be alive only you can tell that.

Indeed what is happening is that your tree is dieing. If you are in the nortern hemisphere, put it outdoors now. If you are very lucky, it will survive winter, but I doubt it.

Getting ready to sprout in late september is a serious issue. It really needs to go out and go dormant right now. The growth must be stopped. If it flush growth now, it will empty all reserves and can definetely not survive winter.

I have been there. Hot and cold are subjective terms.

The motel where we stayed had heat but no air conditioner. If you don’t have A/C running all day your summer is not hot.

In winter my electric bill is about $4 a day. In August it was $14 to $17, lows temperatures might be 90F/32C and highs 105/35. That is hot.

You did get cold right.

There are no such thing as an indoor tree. Not one species in the entire world lives naturally indoors. Here are the correct classification:

Temperate trees: these are trees from temperate regions. They should be outdoors all year. If not totally hardy to ones local area they may need some protection in winter. Coldframe, unheated greenhouse or a shed will do. Never ever indoors. Your maple is such a tree.

Subtropical trees: are trees from warmer areas. They should be outdoors all year but needs protection from frost in winter. 5 degrees is optimal for most. Heated greenhouse is the way to go. Theese trees should never be indoors.

Tropical trees. Most of them we use in bonsai are from hot humid climate. But there are trees from dry biomes as well. They should be outdoors all summer but needs to be brought indoors in winter. They can survive livingroom conditions, but not thrive in it. Somewhat cooler in winter is better 10-15c. Heated greenhouse is the best.

Trees from all three classes is sold as indoor trees. However I have never seen maples sold as that. Anyway, indoor trees is a scam. Most of them will die If kept permanently indoors. Some will survive one or two winters. None will thrive.

Temperate and locally hardy species is the best way to go for beginners as they demands less work and investments for winter.
