Help Identify Please

[chefmateo]

I made several cuttings last summer & a couple of them I forgot to label. This is the only one I'm in doubt about. I can't tell if it's one of my buttonwoods or ficus. Can anyone confirm? Thank you.

Ficus microcarpa

I do have one Ginseng Ficus I took cuttings from..so that could be it. The woody part looked more buttonwood. I'll assume that's the correct call. Thanks.

I do not know buttonwood but ficus are quite easy to distinguish by the new terminal buds enclosed in a sheath that drops off as the leaf unfolds. Ficus also have milky latex sap so if you cut a leaf off it should be easy to tell (assuming that button wood does not have latex?)

I'll cut a little bit & see what comes out!

Can you guys please identify this plant

Hard to say so far: if the leaves are opposed, could be Acer tataricum - but I see maples everywhere, it could be hundreds of other plants !

You need to give more particulars. Houseplant or shrub or tree? Big, or little? A branch or twig showing the bark & arrangement of buds & leaves might help, too.

According an plant identifier app on my phone , Its apparently a Italian maple, and my bonsai is not an zelkova but a Chinese elm bonsai

Holly is regularly available at nurseries in bonsai sizes. They are sold at Christmas time as inferred houseplants, but are really outdoor shrubs/trees.

You need more expertise in growing easy stuff before you attempt hard stuff. The smaller the plant, the more difficult it is to nurture. This is especially true of cuttings.

I have a chinese elm bonsai and not a zelkova as it eventually said.
