Sappy leaves on my Bonsai

[kemar1972]

Hi all -- please help. I was given a Bonsai plant from my co-workers about 5 months ago. I have it sitting in my window at my new job, and I thought it loved the sun, but now I am wondering. The leaves of the plant have become dry and some have a sap on them. Is this normal? PLEASE HELP

What is the species of the 'bonsai plant'? It may be normal...then again, not many bonsai species do such.

I am not sure. The planter just says Bonsai.................
How do I tell?

Try this...go to https://evergreengardenworks.com/acer.htm and 'browse' through the listings there as there are a number of pics that may help you at least get close. Brent has many 'popular' species pic'd on the numerous pages (keep hitting 'next page' until you finish/find it).

Or maybe do a google-image search for Chinese elm, fukien tea, and other species you find listed in various threads here. I bet you will find it like that...

HTH,
