Portulacaria Afra (dwarf jade) Pre-Bonsai First Styling
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 бер 2024
- This is the first styling of a portulacaria afra pre-bonsai that was initially a branch cut off of a larger tree. About 5 years ago, I stuck it in a shallow pot and let the roots grow out of the pot and into the ground. This allowed the trunk to thicken quickly, but I didn't do tons of maintenance on it, so it started to lose its shape. I decided to trim it back last fall so it could begin its journey toward becoming a bonsai.
Beautiful P.Afra collection
"I think I have enough trees." What, is this a comedy channel now? 😂
😂😂😂
excellent. I started at Bonsai when I was 67. And so I don't have too many years to leave things in the ground :)
You can make quick bonsai by starting with already developed stock!
Im new as well at 64 but its about the journey for me
Just got my first Jade Bonsai 47. I have about 130 house plants, but this is my first bonsai

Very nice little tree Zane. Just a tip with P afra cuttings - retain as many leaves on the cutting as possible. The more leaves, the quicker it'll produce roots. You can always style the cutting after it produces roots. Keep up the good work. Always great to come across another P afra enthusiast. It is a great species for dry-climate bonsai.
I’m in a desert climate so I really appreciate you using these as bonsai. I bought a mother p afra plant recently and I’m going to try to make little bonsai with the cuttings
Great specimens for warmer climates!
Its got some great bones and thickness. Excited to see where you take this over the coming years!
Thanks, me too!
I love your thought process. Awesome Jade. Im only 2 years into developing mine and im in UK so no chance of growing such a lovely tree
Thanks for watching! If you’re in a colder area, deciduous trees like maples grow very quickly. It’s fun to have variety in the garden 🪴
What a nice collection of trees you have.😍🌳🌳🌳
Hi mate!! so happy to see someone with same hobby😊
nice sharing bro...
What was your process with the thick trunk cuttings? Did u let them callous or did you potted them directly on soil right away?
Its because I have a 8yr old portulcaria jade with a 3 feet in length of thick trunk and nice form for bonsai but want to hold of to see if I can find someone propagating thick trunks but no videos yet
I put them in well draining soil and don’t water for a week. Best to propagate when it’s warm outside. Late spring and summer are ideal seasons for this action.
it's been weird cold here in my part of AZ too. i was able to get some trees out a couple weeks ago... and today... snow is threatening...
Give us some guidance on making splits like yours grow
Amazing and very informative video🎉
Glad it was helpful!

Xin chào bạn, tôi rất mai mắn khi được xem video bạn người cùng sở thích đam mê cây bonsai giống tôi, chúc bạn nhiều sức khỏe thành công trong cuộc sống ❤❤❤❤
Dwarf Jade is the crassula sacrocaulis, not the Portulacaria Afra. This is an Elephant Bush/Spekboom
The reason for scientific or botanical names is that common names differ by region. Dwarf Jade, Miniature Jade, Spekboom, elephant bush, pork bush are all common names for Portulacaria afra.
I still dont understand why people wire trees into a pot, I dont even wire in my forests. Never had one fall over or go backwards in 50 years. After repotting aftercare should ensure that the tree isnt in a position to be blown or knocked over
With shallower pots there’s no way to keep some trees in position without wiring. Better safe than sorry
