It is not, my school apartment has regular AC and heating. The temperature stays around 70 and I usually water it every other day depending on the soil
The soil drains very well and i just recently raked it
It sits in light all day. I don't close my blinds as I'm on the second floor so it gets light, but i do think the soil is causing problems. My moss died when I moved so im looking for more. However, I have no way to put it outside and it did just fine indoors when i was home. Should I look into repotting it with new soil?
Not without supplemental lighting anyway.
Indoor light, as bright as it may be, will never compare to outdoor light. A grow light will be your friend until you manage to get it outside during the warm season. You can get a cheap grow light off Amazon really cheap.
I totally didn’t notice them! I treated it right before I left but it’s been about a month and a half so I’ll see if I can find a time block to take it outside to treat it and let it dry under my watch.I don't think it's a soil/water problem. My first thought...given the move...was spider mites. Upon closer inspection, you do have a bug infestation...though possibly aphids? Hard to tell from the pictures.

I think I can see some on the "healthy" leaves in some of your photos as well...but really hard to be certain.
As an FYI: a pane of glass can cut photon levels in half. I've measured this with a decent lux meter. Full sun with glass open: 100K lux...typical for full sun in my area. Cloe the glass and 60K lux with the meter in the exact same spot. Some glass cuts more...some less.
Also, outside, shade is significantly brighter than inside. Outside, light reflects everywhere. Inside, it only reflect through the portal of the window. So you are getting significantly less light than you might think. I grow trees in windows all the time...if you think about what you're doing...it can be done...but NOT for all species
Also, should I invest in a light?
INdoor light is 70 percent less than outdoors even on a windowsill. Do no put more moss on the soil. It complicates watering. Repotting should be done in early summer for this species. FWIW, a relative of mine had a big Natal Plum bonsai for 30 years. She kept it in direct sun in Texas from late Feb. to late Oct. It overwintered indoors and was never happy during that period. Once back outside, it flowered and produced fruit every year. It did "fine" for four months, which isn't that long. It's showing the accumulated stress from that period. I'd invest in at least a grow light, preferably a larger set up if you're planning on keeping this inside. FWIW, ficus bonsai are far tougher and less finicky indoors than this species.
Do you know what they were when you treated it before? Did you treat all the neighboring plants at that time as well?
