Unfortunately, there are a lot of reasons why a plant might drop leaves. However, one sure thing is that repotting is stressful for any plant and this one's been repotted twice in short intervals. Short as far as a plant is concerned, that is.
It could be that the first repot stressed it out enough to drop leaves and it just needs time to establish. We try to ship the plants dry to prevent rotting in the box. It could also be responding to that drought stress. It could also be a light issue. A symptom of too much (and too little) light is dropping leaves. It could even be a stress response to fertilizer. Did you fertilize it at all? Did the soil in the 4" pot have fertilizer in it?
You could email our excellent customer service team at info@mountaincrestgardens.com and they can help diagnose what's wrong. Be sure to included a couple clear pictures of your plant as well as the following information:
1) Growing conditions (full sun, part sun, filtered sun, indoors, outdoors, etc.)
2) Soil used for planting
3) Watering schedule
4) Does the container have a hole for drainage?
