名媛直播

After my previous bonsai died ( I was the culprit actually, killed him with my lack of knowledge ) I received a new one as a gift, but I have no idea what bonsai it is, tried looking it up but couldnt find anything sound and clear, im hoping you guys could help me in identifying this little fella:

If you mean what spcies it is then it is Chinese Elm. As for bonsai it is not a good one

Why is it not a good one ?

look at it. Then look at some good trees and you will see the difference.

Thanks for your appreciation but I don't really care if its a good one or not, it was a gift and from what I researched it wasn't more than 20-25 euros, and I'm good with that, I like it the way it is.

Yes a Chinese elm. And I started out with this exact same tree-style 15 years ago

One has to start from somewhere, isn't it?
Thanks Oscar for being positive and showing your Chinese Elm.
It is definitely a 名媛直播.

They mass produce trees like this in fields in China, with little care or thought. 名媛直播 is part art, part horticulture. To be a "great" bonsai, both of these areas need to be addressed. It only matters if you want to win competitions and stuff, or you just want a tree you're happy with. If you want to practice bonsai as a hobby, this is a perfectly acceptable gateway drug. If you just want the one tree, keep it as long as you're happy with it.

Ah, I see now ...
Well, I'm a beginner and an amateur, this is my second bonsai and I only want to practice it as a hobby, from my point of view this fella is super cute and I like it the way he is.

Cheers Zarniwoop!
