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.

THANK YOU!!!!! This is so helpful!! I am so excited and this is my favorite plant because I rescued her from a Walmart trash can. She’s so big now and I have her babies all over my house. It’s so lovely.

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!!!

Thanks for this! My spekbome (P. afra) are several months old and were grown from truncheons. They're looking very sparse, and I've realised it's because I've just let them grow basically untouched! Poor things are going to get the pruning of their lives today...

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.

Looking forward to a repotting. I've gotten so much conflicting info! Seems I let mine get to dry during some portion of the process. Everything I hear or read implies they will rot if they even look at water, anytime near or after a report.
