I’ve learned more from this video about wiring than I have from watching dozens of professionals. Thank you.

A big Hello from South Russia! You and Nigel are so satisfying to watch. The experience and knowledge that you‘re sharing helps me greatly.

"It's impossible to wire a tree without dropping some leaves." Challenge accepted, sir 👍🏽

I saw a little pot of portulacaria at Home Depot on my last trip, and of course the plant guy in me is depressed come winter time so I had to boost my spirits a tad. Get home and start doing my research on what I got, and here I have a plant that I can have so much fun with over years!! Thank you so much for sharing everything and bringing us along the journey with you. I am definitely going to be consulting your channel :)

I just purchased my first tree and your videos have been the most helpful thing I’ve found on the internet. Thank you!! Keep em’ coming

Thank you for doing these videos. Most of the vids I see are on other bonsai and I know our Portulacaria are little different. You worked your magic and turned it into one of the loveliest tree ever.

Thanks for the video - your enthusiasm is contagious! You do a great job explaining everything. I love the idea of the tree style 'jumping' out at you; it must be more interesting than trying to make it conform to your ideas.

Great explaination on how you wire a young bonzai

Thanks for this video. You do a great job at explaining the process 👍

This is the most helpful video I have watched about Jade Bonsais.. thank you so much..

Thanks for the video , I have 2 Portulacaria Arfa that were given to me as a gift, I’ve hopefully cures the saprophytic fungus issue, and now need to take the plunge and try and prune or maybe wire them, I have no idea where to start , but this video has helped me a lot. Please keep posting !

Just got my first dwarf jade bonsai 😻 thank you for the video I learned so much!

Thanks for this! Gives me some hope for my Mediopicta Dwarf Jades. I got them in a bunch, planted them really close together in a circle, and used a stick to train them to grow straight, which ended up causing me some problems. I realized they would block light from the inside, and it was making them unhealthy. I untied them from the stick and let them lean apart so the insides can get sun. But now they’re curved and starting to stiffen like that. Good to know they’ll still be easy enough to shape after next springs repot.

Learned a lot, thx for the video! I love your jades

thank you for the demonstration! this makes learning easier 🙌🏾

I love your videos! I'm a relatively new owner to this plant and a completely new idea of it being a bonsai. Learned a lot from your videos :D

Your videos are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing. You are awesome and so are your little trees.

I've been watching a lot of your videos and I'm learning quite a bit actually

I love your little trees. I just pulled a big portulacaria out of the ground and I’m going to try this. So neat thank you😄

So glad to have found your channel. I’m in TX too but in zone 8a, probably a little colder. Had already bought a couple portulacarias just for house plants was looking for health and care tips. Didn’t know one could do such fun things with them. I envy your collection. Now what ideas I’m getting! Thanks too for the soil recipe. Really hit the jackpot here ^_^

Thank you so much! I appreciate your knowledge…. You are my go to for my new Bonsai’s!

These grateful little trees are right up my alley cuz I'm always messing with my plants. I just potted a little Y shaped plantlet and it only has rabbit ears on one branch. It's an experiment 🤗. Thank You!

It was a relaxing video. I've learned a lot, too.

😊Lovely tutorial, well explained. Thanks for sharing.

Another great vid mate 🤙

Learned something new. Thanks man for this. ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.😻

Your channel is so underrated

Thank’s for video!! Very good !!

Great video! Thank you!

Thanks, I like your video and it workstation for me . I am a Portulacaria Fan and have a couple of them. Keep it up with your videos they're very educational. I am from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Love the video.

Thanks! Just bought my first and am a newbie. Just subscribed to your channel.

Really enjoyed this !!! Very Helpful . I appreciate your time to share your knowledge with us.

Great video, lots of useful tips, thanks for sharing 💕👌

Thank you, I did learn a lot from you.

Yes more vids! always looking forward to seeing your uploads. Awesome info. can you do a video on nabari development?

Thanks for excellent application and information 👍👍🇵🇷

Thank you for the wonderful video.

Hello Jade, thanks for all the insights to your experience! it made me interested in the Jade trees. They are amazingly easy to shape, arent they? do you only grow super small or do you also take larger ones and turn them into bonsai? you know, .. there are so many ugly Jade trees in peoples windows, - i often ponder to get one of those and make them become beautiful bonsai trees. would be nice to see a video about such topics as well. thanks and greetings from a curious beginner...

Enjoyed your video. Many years ago I was a member of a Bonsai club and I learned alot from the members. Im now retired and started again on my own. Your explanation on wiring is soo spot on and explained very well. You provided ideas on where to purchase wire and scissors that cut wire also which I appreciate since on a fixed income makes this hobby much more reachable for me...do u have more videos on other types if plants?

Great job

Great video brother! I would love to see your take on soil still. Every day is a chans to learn and I want to know how you do it because what ever you are doing seems to work well.

Great tips, thx!

Thank you for this video

Nice video!

Beautiful creation

Thankyou nice explaination

Woww..so beautiful❤️

Thanks this vedio. Wonderful

Thanks for this. I started a grocery store tree two months ago in order to learn Bonsai. I was wanting to know about how long to leave the wire on and you answered my question. 6wks to a year or so.....R

Thanks a lot for this vid! Would like to get an update on this tree

Nice technique friend 👍 New subbed here 👍

Keep up the great videos. Have just got my first Dwarf Jade inspired by your collection and videos. Think I read somewhere you had a book on the way? If so look forward to it!

Thanks for this. I just got a portulacaria afra last spring and I've already got two bonsai in development, guided by your videos!

i´m learning so much with your videos. Do you have an opinion on using the big leaves jade as osposed to the small leaves one?

Me look a video about wiring jade plan a very nice 👍👍

Great video! How does the sacrifice branch make the trunk thicker?

Nice video

Any chance we can get some update videos for some of the trees that you've highlighted in your videos? Love your channel and you do an amazing job with the little jade. Keep up the good work!

excellent video! you were so patient in sharing your thought process. Loved it!

Can you cut out small wedges and wrap it to cause more curves? Thx for your time

I worry about cracking or snapping the trunk so I haven't tried this yet

Nice one

very nice

I just wired a couple of branches on my jade today. How long should I waint before removing the wire??

Hey love the content my afra has reddish stems, as it ages will it turn to a more woody bark colored like yours or did I buy a different sub type?

thx a lot

Great informative video, I learned a lot to properly set up my jades for wiring. Can you provide a link to the type of wires you buy for your plants? Thank you!

I wish i could find someone in my area to help me wire mine :( no one here knows how and that’s because i offered to pay lol. I love your detailed video i guess i’ll be stuck with just admiring since i don’t think i’d wire mine myself.

Hi hello, I liked your video. Just have 1 question for you. What size of wire were you using on your Money Plant? 🙂

How would i know if I can wire the Ports?i mean how old is the Port supposed to be to be wired?

Nice

Hi, Gilbert. I live in NE OH and have brought my ports in for the winter. I loaded the top layer of soil with osmocote throughout the summer with great results. Thanks for that tip. Would you recommend removing that top layer of soil to get rid of the fertilizer over the winter?

Is there a specific period to wire our jade bonsai?

re enjoying your videos - i do love a jade!! Im going to get some more Ports - if ever you want a collab video let me know.😜

Sir, Which type of wire can be used and from which shop it is available ?

Please, what's the best period for wiring?

You started to mention it,... but where do you get your wire?

👍🏻👍🏻❤️

Please, could you tell me how you adjust for Portulacaria irrigation? What land do you use? Thanks so much. Greetings from Milan (Italy).

Mr. Cantu how much water and sunlight do they need? My jade tends to have dry leaves that fall off and when I started watering it more the leaves just fall off. Thanks.

💯💪

Last year Cuttings i wish in Europe they would grow sooo easily. But nice video !

In much of traditional Bonsai they go by the two branch rule. That entails having branches on each side of the trunk that are about even with each other. They are wired with the same wire. This opens up the tree so that the trunk is more visible and it has a continuity to it. I much prefer smaller trees. A foot and a half being there tallest. I have seen trees that are much taller but not all people have the space for that.

What does bending the Portulacaria Afra do to water distribution, if anything at all? You mentioned not to water it for about a week prior to wiring, so I'm wondering what effect wiring will have once you do water it.

So long we don t see you ! I hope that s cool for you, what about your little jade?

How often do you water your little jade?

Do you fertilize them?

Do u use bonsai soil?

Could you tell me the make up of your soil, it looks mainly gravel . Thank you, enjoy your videos. Bobby. Australia

Where do you buy your jade plants? Is Lowes or Home depot a good place?

Do you sale your bonsai.

U replied me on instagram, a dream come true 😄

ЗДРАВСТВУЙТЕ. ПРИМНОГО ВАМ БЛАГОДАРЕН ЗА субтитры на русском языке.

I got the advise to not water it for 2-4 weeks then do the wiring the trunk is very bendy !!

That was great but holy shit you talk a lot. That said, the content once you got into it was super helpful. I don’t know how my geriatric jade is going to enjoy being a bonsai but if it doesn’t, I’ll try again with a younger specimen. Thank you. 😊
