plant dying, help

it's leaves kept falling off, repotted the plant and sprayed neem oil. plant stopped dropping leaves but leaves turning brown/looking down, not greeny anymore. any plant experts can help?
3ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 5 months ago
How much light and humidity does it get? Is it outside? It looks like it’s in a pretty wet potting mix. How often do you water?
@MamaLinne
it gets northeast indirect sunlight, indoor plant . humidity I'm not sure but I'm in tropical climate area. soil is a mix of universal soil and lava rocks. I try to water at least once a week
@eternalwatcher is the soul stating really wet? It might not be getting enough sunlight to be able to take up once a week watering. Do you check if it’s getting dry before watering? And does the pot have drainage holes?
@MamaLinne
the new pot has drainage hole, the previous pot only had one, which was when it was with clay soil. I do check like the top layer of soil if it is wet or not before watering.
Did you buy it as a bonsai? There are a ton of good videos and podcasts on keeping bonsai- it’s a pretty particular process- I finally gave up!
