I'm going to be honest with you. Weeping willow bonsai trees need to be kept outdoors. They just don't do well at all indoors for very long.
Start transitioning it to outdoors it will do better.
Day 1&2 2 hours outdoors shade
Day 3&4 4 hours outdoors shade
Etc until she's outdoors full time.
Then transition to the sun the same way after the shade adaption.
Keep her watered don't allow her to be bone dry.
She will love the humidity outdoors and the sun once she adjusts.
But indoors is a death sentence. ☠️
Be sure to prune your bonsai trees as well they need it to fill out. To prune bonsai trees and I say trees because you have a Fukien tea tree as well. The Fukien is a great indoor plant. They do well indoors.
When a branch gets 6-8 leaves prune it back to 2-4 leaves. When you do this the branch you cut will branch of creating 2 in its place. It also helps the leaves stay smaller. Both of your bonsai trees will really benefit from this. Don't be afraid of pruning! The more you prune the better they look! 🩷

I included photos of my bonsai trees that do well indoors.
1. Fukien Tea Tree
2. Ming Aralia
3. Ficus Retusa
4. Ficus Ginseng
5. Chinese Elm (although I do think the Chinese elm will be better outdoors. I'm moving them out when our weather cools)
6. Desert Rose, I also keep those indoors. Mine are small I grow them from seed
But, I understand wanting indoor Bonsai. So, I wanted to give you ones that will grow well for you and be successful.
The Ficus Retusa is my oldest it's over 30 years old!
There really are not many that can be grown successfully indoors. But all of these will do well for you.
I'm not great at staying on top of pruning but, I try!
