my mother bought me a bonsai for x-mass. everything looked fine, I pruned it a little, watered it. just the other day all of the leaves started falling off . I feel stupid but I don't remember what type of tree it is. my mother is an interior landscaper but knows almost nothing about bonsai and is trying to help me out but I really need some good help.
here are some pictures

It's a Ficus and it's dry. Clean off the last of the leaves and soak it in a basin for about an hour. Mist the trunk daily (or more), and water every third day. Get it away from the heat source or whatevetr is drying it out, and it needs indirect bright light. And water...
Awful bumpy trunk; ask Mom about scale...
