Hello, im new at Bonsai, i have this tree 1 week. should i be worried? I fertilized with npk 6-6-5 yesterday. I water when the soil is dry, it has drainage holes, and it's very hot now, 30 degrees, I was left in the sun for 1 hour, so maybe that's why?

looks like the roots are having a hard time getting water up. Do you water sufficiently?

Soil should never be dry.
 
I water 3-4 times a week when it is quite dry.
 
I keep mine full the full Florida sun, about 7-8 hours of it. Inorganic substrate. I water every day in the summer.
 
I've had this one for about 3 years. With the exception of right after a repot, it has always been outside, in the sun. You can see in the second picture plenty of brownish leaves but as long as it's growing new ones I don't worry.
