| I bought this bonsai, but don't know its name. Can you help me identify it so that I can take good care of it? Thanks! |

| Can you show us a close up of the foliage in focus? It could be a dwarf citrus of some kind. But the edges of the leaves look as if they might be toothed. Are they? Do the leaves smell citrusy if you rub them? |
|
| Leaves appear to be opposite, a Euonymus perhaps? |

| Salt, I think you're right. I didn't spot the opposite leaves. In which case Euonymous does look like a possibility. |
|
| Those leaves look like they have slightly scalloped edges, is that correct? Regardless of what this little plant is, you need to remove that stake ASAP. It looks like it's awfully tight. |
|
| Ardisia crispa or A.crenata? Rgds |
|
| Sorry about the quality of the photograph! I really need a new camera. Anyway, trying with my friend's camera this time. I think it's way more clear now. Yes, the edges are a little toothed. It doesn't smell citrusy |
|
| It certainly looks like a Euonymous sp. now. It's a hardy shrub rather than an indoor plant. |
