  • Hey everyone!!
    Here is a tour of some of my succulent bonsai's. These are all a work in progress but I am enjoying the results so far. Succulents make some nice, easy bonsai which yield some very rewarding results with little work. Plus they are oh so drought tolerant ;)
    Hope you enjoy and hope you can make some of your own succulent bonsai!!!
    Happy Bonsai-ing!
    Chris

    I have a Bonsai baby tree not Succulent though. I just repotted today with fresh soil and fish fertilizer AFTER 3-4 years lol. I just water it and pruned when it needed that was it. I'm suprise when I pulled it out of the pot the roots did not rot it sat in water for 2-3 years. The leaves always dark green. I just start get into succulents. I usually get thr rare ones that most people don't have. Yours are beautiful! I've NEVER seen them before I want them. Love it!

    Picked up a few succulent plant giveaways at the local botanical where I work. Thought of bosaiing them. Found your vids. Good work!

    I’ve been moving in this direction as well, using smaller and smaller pots. I only really got into succulents this year. So easy to care for, and it’s fun propagating them.

    The two bonsai with rosette leaf arrangement are most likely aeoniums. My guess is aeonium haworthii, but I can't be sure. Many species look very similar, and there's a lot of hybrids/cultivars/etc.

    Very nice! I love the trunks on the jades as they age. I think yours looks really good with the larger trunk and smaller leaves. Awesome job on all of them! I just picked up a small jade the other day. I think it's going to be a fun journey with this one!

    Believe it or not, I saw one (and someone else also confirm she has the same one in her neighborhood) of a tree size elephant bush - yes a big tree size of a house of this succulent plant (or tree?) - if you interested I can share a photo.

    ps. the one at 04:52 is an Aeonium haworthii I think.

    gollum and hobbit are actually 2 different jades. the hobbit has smaller tube leaves the gollum looks more like shrek's ears. i have a 10 year old gollum that was a house warming gift from my friends as just a little 2-3inch plant. its now 2-3 foot wide and about 1-2 foot tall.. never seen a echivaria bonsai.. most suc growers cut them off when they gt leggy like that. very cool plants tho.. i so relate to your channel.. im a poor mans glass artist for 20 years just started doing bonsai over the winter.. im hoping to be able to make some boro(pyrex) pots for a few of my smaller trees soon

    Seems like most of the succulent bonsai I've seen have always been short and chunky. Isn't it possible to do a larger somewhat thinly branched succulent? Right now I'm experimenting with Montauk Daisy, which kinda looks like if a chrysanthemum was a succulent (in fact it used to be called Chrysanthemum Nipponicum), and I'm not sure where to find a more traditional looking bonsai out of such types of large woody succulents.

  • @toddstropicals
    @toddstropicals Před 7 lety

    You should give boswellia and commiphora trees (frankincense & myrrh) a try, they require very little work if any to attain a very funky look to them. I have several of them and and have grown to really like them.
    Bursera trees are cool too...Gollum jade tree= crassula ovata
    Thanks for sharing! And yes I subscribed too.

    The Ariel roots can be put in drinking straw and into dirt. It will make then grow faster and thicker, into ther dirt.

  • @growingthings6232

    nice job man that flower looking Bonsai Succulent you are working with is a Aeonium I believe

  • @alakmuert4733
    @alakmuert4733 Před 7 lety +3

    the ''flower'' succulent is an Aeonium arboreum

  • @sonakbi
    @sonakbi Před 5 lety +5

    Love this video from Korea :-) I just wonder do you value variegata (rare) succulents in your country? As we are crazy for Variegata (rare) succulents in Korea here. We call it 'Gold' succulent if I translate from Korean to English. If you or other subscriber can reply to my request! It would be awesome!!! 💖 💖 💖

    • @eldakane9525
      @eldakane9525 Před 4 lety

      I really think it depends on the grower. I personally LOVE anything Cressula Ovata. I feel drawn to bonsai Portulacaria Afra, which is very similar to the Cressula Ovata. I found it at a local hardware store. It is a Portulacaria Afra Veriegata. It is till a fairly small plant. I have seperated a small part to start the bonsai process.

    • @Shadowashai
      @Shadowashai Před 3 lety

      Well I'm from South Asia. The variegata succulents are really popular here. Everyone is looking for ways to make their garden look unique and exotic.

    Hey there! I just bought a succulent Jade plant today and am looking to make it into a bonsai. I know it's a stupid question but is there anything I need to do convert it into a bonsai or do I just put it in a pot and wait? Thanks and sorry for the stupid question!

    • @PoorMansBonsai
      @PoorMansBonsai  Před 5 lety +2

      No worries for the question!! There are couple options really. If it already looks like a nice tree ish shape, you could place it in a small bonsai pot now. But if it looks far from a tree, then I would plant it in perhaps a bigger pot so it'll grow faster and start trimming the foliage so that it back buds and new branches form. The more you trim, the more branches will develop, which over times will thicken all the foliage and will make it more and more tree like! :) That's a simple way of explaining it. haha hope that made sense! Stay tuned for more succulent bonsai videos that might help you out. Cheers!
