    Great work mate. I love that little lizard pot too! I'll have to check out my local pet shop now. Nice little forest you've got there, thank you for sharing.

      Thank you! I got the lizard pot from petco if that helps you find it. Cheers

    I feel you- the dusty blue glaze is one of my favorites and hard to find

      It’s a nice color for so many trees that have cool grey bark. I think that’s why they look so appealing to us all.

      Thanks and yes I hope it works. I don’t really prefer the all white leaves anyhow.

      @@tacobonsai Im still new to these also so im trying to learn how they respond to pruning myself... I remember watching a guy who specializes in these and he said something about when you remove one leaf you get 2 back but I wanted him to clarify on this but has not responded so far... the video was by @easternleaf the video title is "Cork Jade Bonsai with Frank Yee" check his videos out too - Jay

      If you can get one, you totally should! They are very simple to care for in most environments

    Nice little succulent. I tried the 99 cent lipstick and after trying four different ones I found the fragrance offensive

      Oh jeez. I have to try to imagine the poor people who have this on their face … directly below their nose.
      The fantasy makers one wasn’t too stinky. I haven’t opened this one yet but I will have to see. Maybe it will be an outdoor only wound sealant. Thanks for the heads up sir!

    It’s required to eat your tree on camera if you do so 🤣. The regular PA ones taste a disgustingly sour to me 🤣

      Next time! I liked them but it’s so smol that I didn’t want to take too much off the top. When I go to prune all the bar branches back, I’ll toss em with some salt and have a little bowl.

    Did you have the GF/wife’s permission to steal her lipstick? 😂

      Closest thing to that is my cat and it said specifically “not tested on animals “ 😂
