Exclamation My new Ligustrum Nitida is loosing to much leafs?

Hi all,
Like the title says my bonsai is loosing way to much leafs...
I have been stupid when i bought 'm, bought 'm online so they had to send 'm to me in a box... Probably wasn't too healthy... Got 2 from the same site...
The other was loosing a lot of leafs, seemed to have insects, could leave some sorts of web? Litle orange/red creatures... Could anyone name this one... That tree i got through and is growing healthy green leafs again...
I am a bit scared for the one in the title... He's loosing to much leafs as i said allready... When i got 'm the pot was broken and it took some time before i found the right pot? With the new pot i thought he'lld stop loosing so much leafs... But, haven't found any bugs though... Does any of you have an idea? I'm going after a vitamine cure, hope that will help...
Hope any of you can help me out

Use insecticidal soap. It is safe and works great.

Thx on the insecticidal soap, i'll keep it in mind...
He's still loosing a lot of leaves though, don't wanna loose him...
Have been overwatering for probably 2 weeks, maybe longer, could it be his roots started rotting?
Now i'm watering when he feels dry, about every 2 days... Not to much water...
Have not seen any insects...

yes but just do that don't over water specially if the tree is planted in cheap soil. you need really good draining soil to water often if you dont you can easily kill your tree.
