Answers:
Christy gave you some fairly good advice, except you must never set up any kind of watering schedule. Water only when it needs it.
FIRST, you must determine the species of tree, then examine the type of soil. You may send a photo or description of the foliage to me at:
wchoat@american-bonsai.com and I'll send you care instructions for that particular species. You may also want to look at the Bonsai Care page of my website:

Are you watering the roots or just spraying the leaves? You should be watering the pot until water runs out of the pot and you should only be doing this only one time every other week. The only reason to spray or spritz the leaves is because most bonsai need humidity, it is not done as a watering technique.
Try watering the pot and see if his leaves perk back up. I am betting that his leaves are drooping because you have not given any water to his roots, which is what carries the water up to his leaves.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
