Hey everyone, I got a small cutting of a tree/bush today but I haven't a clue to what it is, could some kind person point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Neil.

Re: A new cutting I have no idea of?
It is a Portulacca. Probably Portulacca afra. Also commonly known as Jade plant
They are succulents and very easy to strike as cuttings but it is usual to let the cut base dry out for a couple of days before planting it.
If you search those names on this site there should be a few threads to see how others are growing it as bonsai.

It is a Mini-Jade (Portulacaria afra). Much more suitable for bonsai than the common Jade plant. Very easy to grow from cuttings!
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.

Looks like it is sitting in your beer.. get it out and dry it and striate the base..when dried plant it in a dry/damp soil.
