I’m loving your channel and the fact you focus on baby jades, there is not much content on them on YT in English. Thank you :)

Can you make a video showing how you get primary branches to grow where you want them? Maybe if you did a series that follows one or a few trees from the start would be dope.

@@LittleJadeBonsai I have a young Portulacaria afra. I really would like to know how to train a young plant to develop into something that looks like a tree. We know that the Portulacaria is actually a bush and it grows naturally like a bush. It takes some kind of know how to turn a bush into a tree. Please help.

Brand new to bonsai and just bought a little Jade pre-bonsai. Scouring the web for information and how to get started and this video is the best so far. Would love to learn your thought process on how you trim to establish your branching when you're starting from the pre-bonsai stage.

Great video! I watch a lot of bonsai videos and yours are some of the very best. Simple, informative, they give me something I can USE. I live in Florida and have lots of ports in my landscaping, many growing down and over large boulders. I've never focussed on making them into bonsai but now I'm INSPIRED. THANK YOU!!!

I would like to see a series of vids on starter trees also. from small cuttings. how to create primary branches etc. would be good as I'm guessing you have enough to use different trees at different stages to speed up the series , rather than filming over say, a 5 year period. great video, looking forward to seeing more 👍🏼😊

Can’t wait to see how mine will look in a few years? I also just repotted it, do you recommend waiting before trimming or can I do it right away?

Little Jade Bonsai. Nice video. I enjoyed the tree and your insights. There seems to be a lot of back and forth about sacrificial branches, and thickening up trunks and branches, but I've also thought that more division leads to more foliage thus everything lower than that gets thicker. Especially with fast-growing trees like the PA. I'm in MN, so my trees need to be inside for a long time, but my trees are loving my plant room environment right now. Are you trimming all year long where you are or do you back off for a while during winter season whatever that means where you are?

Kown as speckboom ( specckled/spotted tree in Afrikaans. Or elephant bush . The leaves are tasty added to pastas cut & diced adds a tinge of citrus. It's value is also that it's proven to extract more carbon dioxide than nything from the Amazon rainforest. So please grow them into hedges & do ur part for the environment. As a succulent it also doesn't need much watering.
