Turning an Overgrown Jade into a Bonsai Tree
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- I have had this Jade plant in the front yard forever. We have cut it up in the past and used it in arrangement as well as made new plants in my yard. Looking for a more sculptural look, so I decide why not try bonsai.
Thanks for watching😘😘🌵🌵

My heart dropped when you said you were putting those cuttings in the trash
me too.. i hope she re-planted them ALL! :)
I wish I was friends with her so I could get those big cuttings
When I pruned my big jade plant ,I offered the cuttings for free on offer up I couldn't just throw them in the trash..
Concur on all, I just got my first jade and I lost some in transition but I given mines away
Nooo don't putting in the garbage
I have never seen such a big jade plant. Thank you so much for sharing dear friend.
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Axel Blaine Instablaster :)
@Nehemiah King i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Nehemiah King It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
@Axel Blaine you are welcome :D
This had to be a lot of fun to do. Thanks for showing us all the fun you had!
It WAS fun! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I have one that is 33 years old and thinking of doing a bonsai as well. Thanks for the inspiration .
Omgosh! If I was your neighbor I would totally take those cuttings off your hands! The final prune looks great!
Thanks so much!! I did repurpose a lot of those cuttings. 😉.
@@Sarahleanned I'm so glad you posted this comment because when you kept talking about your trash guy I was mortified! Where I'm at in Canada, you could probably make a lot of money selling those cuttings! I see the tiniest jade stem cuttings going for $5 all the time!
@@hannahsaxon1407 The trash man reference was more because it was starting to get really loud, LOL.
OMG so many Little plants to grow wow along it's roots.....i could replant all of it
I started to cry when pulled out those little Jade sprouted and cut those branches. I envy that you thrive your Jade plant planted direct to the ground... I hope I can do this also...
What a specimin. Literally a bush, that's awesome
👌🏻Nice & huge JADE IEVER SEEN👍🏻
I think I’d be so happy even just to have some of the pieces that you just tossed over into the pile :-)
It's beautiful!!! You can arrange a market of Jade😃😀😊dear Sara
Hi Sarah, I have more jade plants than you can poke a stick at, and that is excellent work.
I'm too late to suggest anything, but I'd like to see the plant now, after a year of growing.
It's a fantastic Jade, thanks for the video!🥦
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. I can do another update soon, it’s probably ready for a little prune. I did already do an update after 8 months. It is called “45 year old jade update”.
Wow , beautiful jade plant ,love it
Nice cutting!
Thank you!
Amazing how big that jade is. Its hard to say what to do with that front piece. I think you did great!!😁
Thanks so much!! I’m really liking the bonsai look so much more.
Хорошо получилось!
Thank you! 💜🥰🌵
That is a beautiful tree. I'm devastated by the thousands of dollars you'd into the trash!! Where are it located?? My grow zone would never suport this beauty!!
If you are thinking about cutting off any of the thicker ones I would be interested in buying a cutting
realy pretty!!! good job!!!
Thank you!!
Amazing Jade plant 😍
Very very nice👍👍👍😊
Glad you like it! I recently posted a very short video of it in bloom. Jades are blooming like crazy here this time of year.
Nice work
Omg big succulent ! I love it thank u for sharing your amazing succulent. Merry Christmas and god bless u Maam.
Thank you Remy. I’m amazed how big he has gotten too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!!
Amazing work of art.
Thank you!! Happy to hear you liked it.
Take that bottom left lowest branch out, but you did an incredible job with the tree pruning!!
Thanks for the advice.
Very good, looks much better
Thank you!! Always worried about pruning too much.
@@Sarahleanned I do have 3 large jades and I start to prunning it now it looks much better, always checking the Internet for examples. And you mentioned the correct thing, do everyday small step and see the difference
Can you do an update video on how the plant managed the pruning? Thank you!!
Yes! I can absolutely do that. Planning on doing a summer plant tour and I will make sure I show the jade plant.
Nice plant you have there. So cool...maybe you can try basic wiring the branches. It would look a lot cooler.
That’s a great idea. I’ll have to try it next time I prune. Thank you!!
Any chance we could get a follow up of the jade?
I did an update at the end of the succulent summer tour about 5 videos ago. But, I can include another update in my next video.
@@Sarahleanned thanks! I’ll check it out!
I wish I had those jade tree so beautiful
Wooowwww
Truly beautiful!! Jades are amazing. I would just leave it as is unless branches start to hang.
Oh damn, that's a big Jade! The plant looks amazing. Can I ask where are you from? I really like these plants but they would die instantly outside in my climate.
Thank you! Southern California. Rarely to be ever get below freezing.
It looks great
Use that rooted branches you removed n plant it in wide bonsai pot to make minutare bonsais
Looks so much better now that you can see the trunk and tell what it is
OMG
Absolutely beautiful Jade. Where do you live and would you happen to have an update on this beauty?
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. I did already do an update after 8 months. It is called “45 year old jade update”. I also did an update a few months ago when it was in full bloom. I’m in Southern California (San Diego county) where these jades grow like weeds. Lucky me. 😀!!
So beautiful new friend here
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed.
Please, can you show an update?
I have a couple videos, they are under the Jade Plant playlist. Thanks for watching. 😀🌵❣️
You can sell those cuttings online from 10 to 80 dollars depending on size
Really? Contact me on IG.
I'm going to preface what I'm about to say with:
You did a great job, beautiful work!
But I must say, First: you did not 'bonsai' the plant. You pruned it, and made it more aesthetically pleasing.
Second: If you took the cuttings to someone who knew about bonsai, they would have paid hundreds for them... I almost cried when you said you were waiting for the trash man.
I paid 200 for mine because someone did a little wiring and put it in a nice pot. Next time please talk to an enthusiast and let the cutting live a second life.
Thank you. You are correct, this wasn’t technically bonsai but more pruning. Wow!! $200 for a bonsai Jade, I’m sure it looks amazing. That’s interesting about the wiring, I have more plants I’ll have to look into doing that with. Here in San Diego, there is no shortage of this type of Jade. I’m very fortunate to live in the succulent land of milk and honey for sure.
@@Sarahleanned Check out the 'We are The Bonsai Supply' Chanel and search for jade styling. You seem to have an eye for style. I'm sure you could get good at it with some practice.
@@adamrose5690 thanks. I will definitely check it out.
@@Sarahleanned As a former San Diegan myself, I was laughing at the above comment. Jade was essentially a weed in my yard and I must have thrown away a million bucks! I had a massive clump taking over my yard. Now that I moved away, I definitely see why people would be shocked at the waste and would be begging for cuttings. Send me some! ;-) haha
@@julzgulz1992 LOL. Yep. They do grow like weeds here that’s for sure. Most San Diegans in fact actively dislike them I think. I’m glad I have learned to see their beauty.
Do you sell them ?
Glad you liked the video. No I don’t. I think they would actually be a little heavy to ship.
use those cutting for propagtion i too say though!!
Where are you from😊? Can we have some of its branches !!!?😆😉
Leave it...let it grow in for a while... Beautiful plant!!!! Just my opinion...
Thank you Shane. I did!!
I think you cut off too much. The Jade looked so beautiful as was and you couldn’t resist over cutting.
I understand how you feel. Thankfully this type of jade grows like a weed here and would go back to about the same look within a year or so. Thanks for watching.
Can't hear you after camera moves to jade
OMG EXQUISITE!!!!!!! 🙂
please don't throw these baby away, or tell me where it is!
did she say...trash????? shes trashing those cuttings????? ohhhhhhh noooooooooo
Bonsai means plant in a container, nice tree though
If u care about plants than you shouldn't do that ..
Awwww you butchered her :(
I can see why you said that. It took me awhile to come up with nerve to finally do it. I’m quite happy I did it now. But good news is that if I wasn’t, it would grow back. 😉😘
Booooo!
