    just got few weeks ago this plants, though I have 2 huge grown up but I want to learn from new Portulacaria
    or Elephant Bush ... you did a great job Jay,, super impressive ... love all your fancy tools : have you seen the channel
    of LITTLE JADE BONSAI ? all his Bonsai os just this Jade Plant ,, thanks you found me and now I found you through TOM :
    I read your about, like you I started my channel with my son ( 2021 , my active loading ) he is my Editor but 2022 he went to college

    That pot by Izabella is awesome. Really diggin that. Please send my compliments to her.
    Nice work on the Port AF. And lesson learned, crotch growth is not desired.
    I like the idea of taking the big one down and making a second large tree out of the upper half.
    By the way, my cubs would eat those cuttings clean. Lately I’ve been coming home to find some of my trees magically missing a few leaves. I wouldn’t mind so much if they kept my vision in mind.
