Do not fertilize every 14 days unless you know exactly what you're doing and are you waiting till the soil dries up a bit before watering again ? One more thing : remove the vase and just keep the plastic pot because the vase will just keep it too wet and it will rot .

1) You might be over-watering. Soil looks very organic.
2) You don't have to fertilize so often. What type of fertilizer are you using?
3) Trees like being outdoors. If temperatures are about 45 degrees, consider it taking it outside. If your tree spends its entire life indoors it is unlikely it will thrive.

If you take it outside, take it to a shadowy spot until it recovers, do not put it on full sun yet. What type of fertilizer are you using. And that soil... what type of soil is that? do you know?

The soil looks quite dense. I am going out on a limb and guess that when you water it, a lot of water runs off to the side. When you water, does the soil absorb water properly? Try watering with luke-warm water. Iam going to gueess it is probably too dry..

I don't know about that fertilizer. I guess follow instructions. If you take it outside, don't just take it "for a little bit" trees don't like to be moved around. The way it works is, you take it outside for the summer. When temperatures reach 7-10 degrees Celcius (for this particular species), you bring it inside and keep it inside for the winter. you don't have to wait until it gets that cold though. Read about bonsai soil mixtures and repotting. Your tree is not doing so well. And my guess is:

1) Bad soil
2) Doesn't like to be indoors under such bad condition.
