  • Question

    I got some bonzai seeds from a friend but after planting them it clearly doesn't look like bonzai leaves do me. It's growing at a decent pace with just a few hours of direct sunlight and water when the vase's plate is empty. It's currently located in Portugal. I searched in Simple Key but couldn't find a plant with similar leaves. What plant is this?

    Answer

    Dear XanaRaquel, I'm sorry that I cannot identify your plant with confidence. Cultivated species are not within my realm of expertise (Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants). That all written, it looks to be a tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicon).
