Bonsai -med size from IKEA had for 1 year leaves r falling

Please advise I am not sure what type of Bonsai I have - I bought it at IKEA a year ago. It seems to have been okay until recently the leaves are falling off. It is not a minature tree it stands about 1m High, I thought by moving it away from the central heating this may help prevent the leaves dropping, did this a few days ago and it seems even worse now. It has been repotted into quite a large pot with a lot of rocks and stuff underneath the soil for drainage, this was done a few weeks ago. It gets watered 2x aweek and the soil looks great to me - fairly loose and moist. But the leaves although very green do seem dry to the touch and as soon as they are touched they drop off in handfuls. I have been reading through the forums and notice that some of you mist the leaves daily - is this appropriate for my type of tree?
Please help as I want to treat it right.
Thanks
