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.
Yeah that would be awesome! I struggle to put it all together in my head. Having a playlist for one tree from start to finish would give us an idea on how it progressed. Amazing trees...you got skills bro!
@@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!!!
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.
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 👍🏼😊
Have been following you this year on Instagram. Very instructional. Am learning and applying your concepts daily and since I am in my 70's am looking for some more established ones to add to my small underdeveloped collection so I can also do some maintenance work.
I learned so much from this video! I have old (20 years+) jade plants have massive trunjks and are actually pretty wild looking, which I like. But thanks to you, I'm going to try my hand at turning in a newer plant into a bonsai. Thanks for the excellent videos.
Very awesome! I love what you are doing with ports. Very underutilized bonsai. I think you should do a video on a neglected port and teach us how to get it into “little jade bonsai” shape.
I love how you promote constant cutting while Nigel Saunders trims every year... I can see both of your results, which are both amazing, so I know I can experiment and do whatever my trees need! Thank youi so much for the information
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...
I just love your obsession for lil port! you are a proud owner of some very beautiful ports! I would love to see a demonstration on how to start Port RootOverRock. I guess ROR design is so in demand and many viewers will benefit from it. Waiting for it eagerly!.
I know this is a couple years old but it is new to me. Great video. I use a tomato clamp thingies, that is a Japanese word meaning duhicki, and string or wire. The clamp doesn't mark plant and easily comes off without cutting.
awesome video. awesome tree. This was the info I needed. I just started with a dwarf jade and had no idea how to develop ramification. My suggestion for video idea is how to develop roots/nabari, I have a jade with a pretty thick truck that has roots only growing on one side.
This is an awesome video very helpful. What I would like to see and others will agree im sure is how to develop a plant. Show us more of the process on a progressing plant rather than a maintenance plant.
Great informative video! Can you make a video on turning nursery stock with really long branches into bonsai? I feel like I just have to completely prune the branches off from mine and start over in order to make it look nice.
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.
Might I suggest you change the camera/video angle, so one can see where the trim/cut is being made. Your hand/fingers block the actual cut point on most. Your explanations are great. But actual visually observing each/majority of the cuts can really be helpful. Thanks for your videos.
Nice tree! I’m just getting into bonsai. I’m collecting bonsai material and I think dwarf jade might be a quick and easy way to go. Keep those videos coming. What type of soil can I get by with as I don’t have regular bonsai soil available
Another awesome informative video, thank you! I'd love to see what you can do with a nursery stock port afra :) Also do you just lift up the root bowl over the years to get those exposed roots?
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?
Tree looks beautiful! Got my first bonsai tree this weekend and it’s actually a portulacaria but the variegated version. I’m a bit at a loss on how to start trimming and stumbled upon your video. 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?
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.
Thank you for the suggestion! It’s on my list to make for sure. 👍🏼
That would be awesome ! I’d love to see how to get a Portulacaria to grow from a cutting into credible bonsai tree 🌲
Yea me too, got a few I have started, really enjoy your videos! Thanks for all the work you are doing!

Love the Jade bonsai! My mom has a Jade in the yard that has just grown wild and now I'm dying to work on it. Thank you so much!
I already learned so much from you in this video. Looking forward to learn more from you in your future videos
Thanks for the wiring tip. I have been doing a lot of trial and error. It helps to know that there are other methods to wiring.
Absolutely beautiful. You are the king of dwarf jade. I hope you come back with more videos.

Thanks, i needed this video. Best explanation ive found on yt. Cheers
Love your videos and learn so much every day ❤
Great vlog mate👍 I'm in the early stages with my mini jades so this is really useful information.

Love this! Yes you gotta do what works for you. I have done both but prefer to trim often. Thanks for watching!
Love your bonsai 🌳
Love your trees , your videos are awesome 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...
Thanks for your video l! I learned more how and why to trim than anything I've seen today on utube.
That makes me happy! 💚🌳

INSANE growth!
I just love your obsession for lil port! you are a proud owner of some very beautiful ports!

Beautiful tree
I’d love to see, starting development of a bonsai jade. How you get it to the shape you like to then do this type of maintenance

That's why I made this channel, to help people.
:-)

Thanks for all the info! Any tips on transferring a port out of a bonsai pot and into a larger pot to generate more growth?
EXCELENTE TRABALHO PARABÉNS GOSTEI MUITO 👏👏👏
How to grow that thick roots? And do you repotted roots little above the soil so that they are thick?
Helpful tips
Awesome tx 👍
I just started on jade trees. Trying to trim an old one to slanting position., & a few young one to straight positions.
Bonjour je suis patio né aussi par cette plante j'aime beaucoup tes vidéos qui sont très inintéressante.
+1 Passe une bonne soirée.
tnx for sharing . . .
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.
Beautiful tree!! After how long would you be worried about the wire scarring the branch or root that you tied together? Super helpful video!

I learnt more in this vid in 2 Min than watching bonsai masters go blah blah blah ! 👍🙏
Muy bonita la portulacaria

HI! Love your video here in Italy! Do you use the cork bark variety for you bonsai?
