Thanks, I really like this combination!

I'm not at that stage with any of mine yet. But I think next year or even later this year I might bite the bullet

Thanks Paris, very nice to hear!

It certainly drains well Jay! I see you got some new pots too, maybe we can add the potter to our road trip to Montreal!!

@@TheBonsaiZone awesome idea!

You are very welcome, thanks!!

Thanks, I'll look into that once my window screen runs out!

Thanks Marysol! How are your Jades doing?

@Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone They are doing fantastic!! I'll have to do an update episode! I absolutely love that Gollum Jade... My precious 💖 You are the best!

Me too, I'm looking forward to the summer growth!!!

Thanks Dave, it's a little gem!!

Thanks Harrison!!

I was surprised at the thickness of the surface roots! All my Jades are cuttings and they only have fine roots!

Thanks so much, me too, it's small but awesome!!

Lol, my hair decided to go that style, so I went with it!!!

Thanks Ashley, that clears it up!!! Your succulents are doing really well!!

Good to hear, buddy, looking forward to the next update on them, be exciting to see where you go with them :) -Ashley Bonner

Thanks!!

Thanks Ben, I see you've been putting out a lot of videos lately, awesome!!!

Yha I been trying to put out a couple videos out each week

Thanks!!!

I have many cuttings of this variety, just waiting for you Xin!!

Thanks Philodon, it's such a nice pot!!!

Thanks a lot!!

I wasn't patient enough..... You answered my question moments later. I should've known better, you always inform us thoroughly. Thanks!

Stumps to bonsai!!!

@@TheBonsaiZone How Cool is that? Real cool! You are the Master.

Thank you! Cheers!

Cats rule!!

Yes, you should be able to find a nice oval with a lip!

Haha I was seeing the skull too

Yes, I see it too, it's got Tats!

Terima kasih telah menonton videonya!!!

Yes, it was quite a surprise!!!

I'm not sure Beth, I would guess about 20 years at least by the thickness of the roots!

Thanks, I'm not sure any of my trees deserves a pot like that, but I sure like the pairing!

Yes, I'm sure the cuts would heal well is sprinkled with cinnamon! Yes, we kept two of the kittens, a male and a female. The male in the video always hangs out with me, his name is " Stripy Stripe" They are 6 months old now!

Lol, yes!!!

Yes it is, he loves sitting on top of my computer! He always jumps down on the keyboard and then into my lap for a good petting and sleep!

@@TheBonsaiZone That's so sweet

HELLO!!

Yes, you can do both, but keep the soil dry and give the tree good warmth and light!!

I think it comes very quickly, I believe just a couple of days?

Thanks!!!!!

Washing the roots is safe, even if you cut the roots. If you do cut the roots, you need to have them callous over before you water the the soil. They need a at least a week to dry and form a protective skin over the cut. Cleaning and washing the roots has no effect on them. If you haven't pruned any roots, the soil can be watered right after repotting, but then let the soil dry out before watering again, keep repeating this water cycle! I find only dead or rotted roots will break away easily when washing and combing out the roots! The healthy roots are quite tough!

@@TheBonsaiZone thank you nigel

​@@TheBonsaiZone😊

Thanks Bob, good to know, maybe Amazon or straight from the Bonsai Supply?

They tend to grow much faster if the tree is placed outside for the summer in full sun. You do have to transition them slowly to sunlight, or the tree will burn!

I have a 2023 playlist Ben, or you can scroll back looking at the date in the video titles!

This was a larger Jade that was cut down to a stump. The branches then grew in place!

Crassula ovata "Gollum"

@@TheBonsaiZone okay Thank you

@@TheBonsaiZone yours looks really beautiful

I'm in-between them both, I used to have one of each, but they both didn't make it!

I have it under a strong grow light and I didn't do any root pruning, so I hope all goes well!!

Hi, if you don't mind me adding my opinion about those grow kits. They are well assembled as a bonsai kit. The biggest issues I have with them is they start with seeds. Starting with seeds is incredibly slow. And if a person isn't skilled in growing from seed it's very easy to lose an entire year of attempting to grow bonsai without anything to show for it. Hardy trees have special requirements to be successful. Then you have to watch out for fungal issues like damping off. I grow hundreds of trees from seed. It's a lot of fun but you could easily spend 2 years of effort before you even put it in a pot. Then it might be another 25 years before you have something decent to look at if you've done everything right and the tree has cooperated. My suggestion is if you are really determined to start a bonsai from a kit I wouldn't let that be your own point of effort. I would also purchase a tree from a nursery center or tropical tree from ever you can get them and start working and caring for a live tree or shrub just in case the seeds fail. You can easily buy a live plant for the cost of a bonsai kit and it will give you something to study as you gain skills in the mean time. Anyway I hope that gives you something to consider. Take care. DK

@@dk2614 ya you are mostly likely right.

@@johnb58 I don't want to discourage you from trying! But I wouldn't want you to be discouraged after trying! I think Nigel made a suggestion once that if you want to start than start with a lot of stuff. Killing trees is kinda the price for learning bonsai.

Hello John, I would suggest you start with an inexpensive Ficus from a chain store. They are great trees to learn with and are hard to kill!!

I agree with the above. Starting with a tree is easier to begin with. Learn how to care for it and keep it happy, then branch out as you please

Got it, thanks!!

It's a science experiment!!!
