  • The development continues on my large Jade (Crassula Ovata) cutting that was given to me from Joey. I'm working on creating a nice succulent bonsai forest. This variety is known as a finger Jade or Gollum Jade.

    Happy new year Nigel, thank you for a year full of inspiring bonsai content. Looking forward to another year off growing bonsai. Best wishes for you and your family 🎉

    The leaf pruning reminded me a bit of needle thinning on a pine, for example. I think Jades have the potential to be great Bonsai if you give them a chance!

    Crested succulents make great associate plants for bonsai and have a weird coral look to their lignified stems.

    I made some big moves on quite a few of my jades this past summer. Unfortunately I screwed up on several resulting in some rot. Some of my favorites were victims. This forest is looking nice

    I think the scaring also weakened the tree making it more vulnerable to insects and disease

    • @michaelcowart6100
      @michaelcowart6100 Před 6 měsíci +2

      I love jades. I think the trunks are beautiful and they will acquire an aged look with time. Like any tree when cut they will go into a healing mode. When cut too many times this can exhaust a tree and the tree will eventually sacrum to pests and disease. There's no hurry, just give them time and they will show their age.

  • @NoDecaf7
    @NoDecaf7 Před 6 měsíci

    Ah I always wondered why you seem to prefer the baobab style for your jades. I appreciate the inclusion of the detailed explanation! That's something to think about, now that I have acquired a little jade.

    Love the video! I have a large, 40 year old crassula ovata, do you have any tips on rooting very large cuttings?

    • @dk2614
      @dk2614 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Large cuttings root the same as small cuttings. Simply wait for the fresh cut end to dry before putting it in quick draining soil and only water occasionally in winter. During summer you can water more frequently if outside in the sun. Winter you run the risk of rot since the plants aren't growing with vigor. Best of luck to you!

    • @Stettafire
      @Stettafire Před 6 měsíci

      It's very difficult to ship cuttings outside of Canada FYI. Best place to find Jades is in a place that sells houseplants

    I’m in California. I see jades all the time. You just can’t get fine ramification on them. It’s just not their nature.

  • @OutsidethePot
    @OutsidethePot Před 6 měsíci +1

    Since when does a bonsai need to be a tree? It’s what you make out of it.

    • @Stettafire
      @Stettafire Před 6 měsíci

      I think there is a lot of self-important elitism from some folk who try to prescribe what is/isn't a bonsai. I disregard such people

  • @AliRaza-tr1oc
    @AliRaza-tr1oc Před 6 měsíci

    If you dont mind i want to say something. I have watched a no of videos but never seen a plant that looks like a tree. All of your plants are just starting plants. Do you have any plant that look like a bonsai?
