Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this video!! It was breaking my heart to cut back my 2 stem Jade plant to the bark but after seeing your video it encouraged me so much that I cut mine back! It was so encouraging that if you where willing to risk a 20 year old tree I could take a risk with my tiny little plant!☺️
Mine is only two and a half years old and looks big, strong and full of leaves, with two thick central trunks. I've never pruned it. It gets morning sunlight and is very healthy!
Greetings from England! Thankyou for posting your hard pruned Jade Plant after 7 months. I pruned my old plant, a week ago, and I have set some of the leaves, which are now producing tine Jade Plants.
@@EatwellFarm you should prune that one new branch so the plant will not continue to grow it and switch to the other one (it always have two "buds"-sometimes a plant just needs to be "told" what to grow. Wait until new pair of leaves show up and then just pinch it with nails or smth. The plant will grow a new branch. And then, when you will decide its time for an old branch to grow again (better if it will be already little lignified-cut it, leaving 4-5 pair of leaves (depends on where you want new branches to grow). And give the tree some good lighting.
I can't imagine pruning such a magnificent plant back to a stump! I really don't understand why you trimmed the roots. Could use some explanation. This seems brutal. Like, it will take five years for it to look normal again.
Thanks a lot for this. I have a question for you. after the hard pruning, what is advisable. Exposing the plant to direct summer sunlight or to leave in indoors with minimal / indirect sunlight.
Video molto interessante! Ho sul balcone questa pianta un po' trascurata e mi piacerebbe trasformarla in bonsai. per favore puoi aggiungere delle informazioni come il tipo di terriccio usato, quale filo di ferro usare ed altro... grazie!
Amazing how different growth gets in different environment. I got a 30 year old Jade plant and it about as thick as this but healthy (partly due to that i was not repotted for a good 15 years or so lol) but also our long dark winters in Sweden. Has to be indoors most of time too. Umm by the way, maybe you should invest in a better knife with longer blade, looks dangerous too 😉😊
Mine is 6years old and allmost that big. You have enough light for your plant? And pls take a longer knife, it's better for the plant to just cute once 😊😊
In the Video, I cut the root because I want to make it small to fit in the pot and also to remove some dead roots out. But you can cut the root again when the roots bound (run out of space for the roots to go).
Haha poor thing isnt even rootbound after 20 years, than gets deheaded, than cut parts get intensly touched by hands, root pruned and made wet before being repotted, this thing is going to have a hard time growing back if it gets placed in the same spot it stood
I think you can plant them to grow the tree further. I will find out, because I just did this with a large jade plant that I cut back heavily, including one big main limb. I put that limb in water with growth enhancer for a few days, and then planted it. So far it seems to be fine. Time will tell!
I have an jade 🌳 , 10 years old. And it looks like an real little tree. If I don't watch it for a week, start to be ugly. How it's possible that this jade tree is steel alive 🤐?... I care of mine too much? 😮
Maybe overwatering? Check the soil. Put your finger in the soil to the first knuckle, if you can't because it's too compact, it needs repotting. If your finger comes out feeling damp, don't water it. If it comes out feeling dry, water it
It's always so funny to me how many specialized tools/equipment people use for bonsai. Special soil, special scoops, special mesh for the bottom of pots.....POTS, a special poker to help settle the special rocks/soil. Special knives, clippers, concave cutters...the list goes on! Don't be a sucker! There are so many alternatives to not waste your money. 🤑
You will cut the roots only 2 reasons. first, when you want to keep them small as Bonsai Tree then you trim the roots to make it fit in the small pot. second, when the root bound (run out of space for the roots to go) then you trim them to keep the plant survive and continue to grow. Don't worry about cutting Jade plant roots because they are hard to kill, just keep in mind that after you cut the roots, please wait a couple days or a week before give it watering. Hope this help!
Please buy a longer bladed knife, ideally a serated one. You mad eme nervous seeing you cutting towards yourself with that blade, once slip and wrists are cut. Great video though.
I don't think 🤔 you should have cut that Crassula - Jade Plant so severely perhaps a little less of the large cane's length could have been left intact. The Crassula aka the Jade Plant grows so slowly to have one as large and as old as that one deserves a bit of respect and reverence.

Quick question. Is this essential (cinnamon power or candle wax) or can you hard prune without the aforementioned? Building up the courage to chop mine up but want to ensure it doesn't back fire. I am doing research well ahead of time looking to prune early next spring if that is the best time to do so.
would love to see an update on how this is looking one year later- any pics to share? ❤

Thanks for sharing. You did some heavy root pruning which taught me something. Jades are so hardy and a pleasure to work on..

Its surprising how few feeder roots it seemed to have.
They're amazing plants, aren't they? So many different varieties too.
Such a pleasure to watch 😌 happy to be your 1k subscriber!
Yay! Thank you!
우와 20년된 우주목!
한국에선 Crassula portulacea monstrosa 'Gollum' 이것을 우주목이라고도 부릅니다.
잘 봤습니다!
Wow Wonderful Bonsai ^^
Thank you for good sharing~

Talk about a commitment to a haircut!! 😱
That's going to look awesome!!!
Thank you Nigel!
Beautiful!! Is that bark and a clay substrate or turface??
Superb 👌👌👌
Wow.... Beautiful plant.

Really nice one .
You are lucky enough that your plant gives you two branches 🙂
Just prune the top and it will branch :)
@@DelightfullyDoe I pruned it but she gives me only one branch.
So sad nah!

They love direct sunlight, just leave it in direct sunlight! After a week you should see the new growth to form.
@@superbonsai7537do you have an update on what this looks like now,
Good
What do you mix for the soil please?
Мило получилось

Que tierra echa? Vale un sustrato universal?

The way this dude uses that knife lol
How does such Extreme pruning not kill the plant?
I wanna see an update after 1 year!
It’s doing great and healthy, I’ll do update video soon!
defo want to see an update! @@superbonsai7537
Pudge, the butcher 😂..
BONSOIR ! MERCI VIDÉO JOLI ------ 28 MAI 2022 PARIS 14h19' SOPHIE
Where can i get that type of pot?
Does trimming the roots help with growth or just a choice you made for the pot?
any ideas? i would like to know that as well
I have always heard that trimming the roots will slow growth. I believe he did this to make the plant small enough to fit the pot
As I know usually they prune the root trying to give a balance between roots and leaves and also for the pot
In the Video, I cut the root because I want to make it small to fit in the pot and also to remove some dead roots out. But you can cut the root again when the roots bound (run out of space for the roots to go).
Oh wow so cool
that would be tough to do, after 20 years just chopping it down.
Hi! What is your potting mixture please? 😃
Перлит, цеолит/серамис и кора?
Que.pena..cortar.el.arbolito.mas.se.vera.bien.un.bonsai.
Potting mixture please 🥺
Can a plant survive only in sand? Or what kind of soil is that which look like a sand?
It can survive in sand if it has fertiliser. The leaves won't grow as big (which is a goal in bonsai)
That plant never had enough light, now you can wait another 20 for it to return to size
I would keep it small as a Bonsai, when they grow will trim them back again.
Haha poor thing isnt even rootbound after 20 years, than gets deheaded, than cut parts get intensly touched by hands, root pruned and made wet before being repotted, this thing is going to have a hard time growing back if it gets placed in the same spot it stood
Yep.
Thanks for comment. Why not rootbound?? Because when rootbound I keep trim the roots and repot it often, I will never let it sit there for 20 years...
People don’t understand bonsai techniques, and that root and branch pruning is what created this beautiful plant lol.
I'm confused is that a Crassula Ovata or Portulacaria Afra?
Ok I tried my best to look closely at the leaves and I think I can see the jade type leaves. 😂
Please share the soil mix.
Essa planta vai se alimentar de quê De Pedra
✌️❤️🔥🇦🇺
Did you repot the off cuts.
Do you replant the cut branches?
They could be rooted yes.
What did you do with the parts you cut off?
I think you can plant them to grow the tree further. I will find out, because I just did this with a large jade plant that I cut back heavily, including one big main limb. I put that limb in water with growth enhancer for a few days, and then planted it. So far it seems to be fine. Time will tell!
Let them dry out about 2-3 days then plant them in well-Draining soil to make another plants!
@@superbonsai7537 thank you so much
I have 5 year old jade and it’s trunk is 5X thicker than that
potting mix?
Tengo un jade de más de 20 años... Ni loca lo podo.
All Jades can be cut back , but yours needs more light and fertilizer , mine is much bigger all around and it's 3years old.
I think OP is growing bonsai so deliberately keeping it compact
Ok so my "just a little off the top" pruning method can't kill my jade lol. Yours was decapitated and it still lived!
Was ist das für Substrat?????👍😉
I tried the same before, but the overall shape doesn't look balanced, or good looking
Needs further pruning then. Overtime it will develop into a shape, it's not instant
Yo diría que ir acortado del el de la habilidad más largo en el de los lados más bajito para hacer un arbolito
I have an jade 🌳 , 10 years old. And it looks like an real little tree. If I don't watch it for a week, start to be ugly. How it's possible that this jade tree is steel alive 🤐?... I care of mine too much? 😮

This is true. For some folk collecting tools is a hobby they enjoy. But isn't neccesary. It's optional if you want to
Excuse me, why do you cut the root and what roots should you cut?
Don't do what they did. Trim only the fine roots and never EVER mess with the root ball.
You will cut the roots only 2 reasons. first, when you want to keep them small as Bonsai Tree then you trim the roots to make it fit in the small pot. second, when the root bound (run out of space for the roots to go) then you trim them to keep the plant survive and continue to grow.
Don't worry about cutting Jade plant roots because they are hard to kill, just keep in mind that after you cut the roots, please wait a couple days or a week before give it watering. Hope this help!
Ну и что дальше? 😼😻😸
this video gave me anxiety!
That's not 20 years old unless it's light starved..
Please buy a longer bladed knife, ideally a serated one. You mad eme nervous seeing you cutting towards yourself with that blade, once slip and wrists are cut. Great video though.
⭐You wrecked it! Should have cut to bottom node with green growth. the trunk looks good though. ⭐
Half video of steam cutting🤦🏻♀️ get longer knife!🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
20 years down the drain
L
It is not 20 years old
You misinderstand how these plants grow

But now he has 4 jade plants instead of one..
Thanks for comment, it depend on people, but for me I like to keep them short and small as a Bonsai Tree, that's a reason why I decided to make a cut.
Mich nervt diese Musik!
Butcher
Maybe, but it will grow back stronger
Number one foolishnes
I'd suggest looking at other jade's online, this is common practice in the bonsai community
Looks really shitty and dead to me. 1 Month later is not interesting. Need something like 2 years later.
Why nothing to seal all the cuts you made at least some cinnamon powder or carefully candle wax big mistake!!
Quick question. Is this essential (cinnamon power or candle wax) or can you hard prune without the aforementioned? Building up the courage to chop mine up but want to ensure it doesn't back fire.

@@Michael-dr5re i like to use something due to fungus or disease hard pruning i i use the candle wax ..
@@Michael-dr5re same hear hard decision to prune go ahead!! Do the research your the MAN !!
