I also say "maple"
the instant I saw the photo, I thought "maple" with no hesitation.
I will say...97.3% sure!
maple seedlings often have leaves that look different from the "mature" leaves.
so its not surprising that one leaf doesnt look like a maple right now..(but actually, it does.)
based on the red trunk, and the leaf shape, its probably a "Red maple"
Acer rubrum
(which is not the maple that has solid red leaves, that is a "Canadian Red maple" or a "Red Norway Maple"..the regular "Red maple" has red stems, and green leaves)
let it put out a few more more leaves, and post a photo again in a few weeks..
im willing to bet it will look much more "maple-ish" very soon!
i hope you're wrong, or else you just made me look stupid
It does look a lot like the birches/alders i get all the time from spag and not much like acer pseudoplatanus and campestre. (those are the only seedlings we got here)

Oh boy. Just realized this post is from Cindy, who's in Singapore.
Now I need to ask, where's the sphagnum from?
The plant I have shown grow in Canada and the very northern US states.
