I need help with my bonsai. I received it as a gift, but I don't know what type it is or how to take care of it. I uploaded a photo of it to flickr. Can someone take a look and at least let me know why kind of bonsai it is?

It's an African jade, and if you email me at;
wchoat@american-bonsai.com , I'll send you care instructions that are too lengthy to put here.
You may also want to look at the Bonsai Care page of my site:
http://www.american-bonsai.com , and do a 'quick find' search for "African". You'll see several that I have. It's a shame that the person who gave you the gift didn't get good care instructions. Apparently not a reputable seller.

Looks like a jade bonsai. I would treat it just like a jade plant in that it is a succulent and needs very little water. Water only when the soil is completely dry and allow the water to run through to prevent moisture build up.
Good Luck

It's a Jade plant. It doesn't seem to be bonsai yet, but they can be formed into gnarly specimens quite easily. RScott
