- This is a detailed pruning and repotting video of a 6 year old Jade bonsai (Portulacaria afra bonsai)
I take my time and show you how I prune a Jade bonsai. I do not prefer wire training for Jade plants as they are very quite fragile. Rather I use the clip and grow technique to promote new growth for a thick canopy formation.

The end result was very pleasing. I was kind of stunned by the amount you reduced the plant. It seems as if you took about 40% of it. Have you ever killed a plant with such a large trimming?
Thanks. 😀 haven't killed any yet. In my experience such hard pruning has always yielded good results for me.
You have to try pretty hard to kill one of these.
I just saved a jade plant a lady was actively trying to kill (not very well) but its got lot of leggy branches and hardly any foliage. All leaves are wrinkled but not dry. I'm reviving the plant but have done minor pruning of dead or leafless branches. Currently it has a tall cascading look (presumably from being in low light in a garage for 2 yrs) ((More like plant torture if you ask me.)) I quite like the look but would enjoy more growth and separation of branches given I can revive it. Fingers crossed. I just wanted to share :)
Not sure if you can kill portulacaria Afra lol
Great all-in-one video-thanks. Amazing how much you whacked it-that gives me comfort!
Best one I’ve seen yet. Thanks for doing demo without words. 👏
Thank you
Lovely tree! 🌳🕊️

Cool sounding birds in the background.
You must have a sign that says "Please honk your horn. I'm doing bonsai."
😀

Beautiful 💕🤝
Beautiful
Thank you
senang rasanya melihat video ini
Please come clip mine LOL I lost a couple leaves but I think that's normal around this time of season. Very nice upload 👍
I would love to if I had the opportunity 😀 thanks
Too much water if it drops leaves.
👌👌👌
I am like: God why?
Then the answer : keep the larger picture in your mind
❤️
I think I'll never try my hand at Bonsai, if I have to chop off so much of it's growth.
Yes its part of the process but it pays in the long run. Actually some bonsai masters believe in completely defoliating the tree once a year to spurt dense growth of the foliage and it also reduces the size of the leaves.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist ohh didn't know that. Nice👍
Can we propagate zed from its cutting, if yes what should be the media to propagate
Yes Portulacaria afra commonly known as dwarf Jade (though not a Jade) can be propagated from cuttings. Here is the soil mix czcams.com/video/GdfvAkH6TSM/video.html
I bought a Juniper and the guy told me to just let it grow out before I started cutting on it well I just assumed the same for the jade.Now my jade is ,well you know. I'll send pic.I was wondering if you could give me any idea where to cut at .From the top down.Thank you I'm trying to figure out how to send pic
You can send on insta. Thank you
🥳👍🏻💚🌳
i know u can propagate the cuttings of ypur jade bonsai..
thank me later😉
Apni ki bangali?

Proportion of bonsai soil mix??
Heres the bonsai soil mix video

This plant is planted on what type of soil mixture .... please share me the information to get a idea of jade bonsai in future because I purchased a 4 years old this variant and it's still in nursery grow big . I didn't repot yet for any mistakes and lastly the plant may die , I have a bad experience of portulacaria death previously.
I was asking before you repot the plant and please give me a suggestion for getting lava rock , I have brick chips and white small gravels but lava rock no idea.
And after repoting you will keep the plant under open sky ? Because lava rock will hold the moisture for long time and it may damage the plant . Please give me a suggestion.
Lava rock and what is the difference between lava rock and brick chips and gravels . My 2 jade ( small leaves) plant died because I used gravels and sand , charcoal, vermicompost .
Pls watch below video for my bonsai soil mix (click on link in blue)
czcams.com/video/GdfvAkH6TSM/video.html
You can use brick chips in place of lava rocks. Lava rocks are porous and they hold moisture as well as beneficial bacteria. Keep the plant outdoors but under a green shade net as summers can be extreme.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist
I have already prepared your suggested bonsai soil mixture same and I planted 2 ficus microcarpa in same bonsai tray as everything (materials) is available in my recent stock . Let's see how it works. I wanna share my new repotted ficus microcarpa that same you suggested. How can I show you the picture ?
And if possible please share me a few pictures of your terrace garden green shade settings as of now my everything is (pole) ready but I can't get the idea of setting of green shade settings and accordingly purchasing from Amazon .
You repot the jade only 1 one trowl of bonsai soil mixture. And then place the plant and for side setting you pour 2 ya 3 trowl of bonsai soil mixture. It's enough for hard pruned jade bonsai tree for future growth ?
Can you please suggest me from where I can buy lava rock , if you share me a few pictures of lava rock closely taken from mobile camera ?
My whatsapp number --- 9434247055.
It's my request.👍
@@debkousik8943 you can share pictures on my Instagram message box @the_urban_nemophilist. I live in South India. My mother is taking care of the bonsai garden in WB. I can send you pictures when I am there for repotting during September or October.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist
Wow Amazing. It's so kind of you that your Maa also is a nature mate please convey my regards to her . Okay definitely.
Please give me a idea of getting lava rock for online purchasing and also the green pruner you use while you were pruning ficus microcarpa in another video which one you didn't disturb after purchasing from nursery almost 2 years.
I have added the lava rock and secateur buying links in the description section of this video.
This is not a Jade plant, its not even related
It’s a portulacaria afra also know as dwarf jade in these regions
@@TheUrbanNemophilist Yes i know what it is, its not a jade plant its not even related to the Jade plant, its the Elephant Bush.
Indeed it’s also known as Elephant bush. In our region it’s also known as dwarf Jade and people relate to that name more in the region where I live. Thanks for the note.
