Hey Zane! Small world! We went to grad school together and I remember you talking about bonsai as one of your final projects. I was the guy that did somewhat funny videos for most of my projects, including at least one with you in it. I am an avid gardener and have been for most of my life. I've maxed out most of my garden space; my specialty is cacti and succulents. However, I thought I'd try my hand at bonsai and was considering building a plant shelf dedicated to that prospect. I bought an orange bougainvillea the other day and was going to give that a try. I have 4-5 bougainvilleas in the garden and believed it'd be a good candidate. I searched "bonsai bougainvillea" and heard your voice - "Wait what?" I'll start watching your videos now for your advice. Great to see you continuing with your passion.
What a hard decision,But it looks great.I just started with portula,so I learn a lot from you.
Thank you!!
Looks gorgeous!
Thanks, it's getting there!
Hola hermano saludos desde mexico, soy un suscriptor de tus hermosos videos me agradan tus bonsais son preciosos, hermano una super pregunta!! que tanto hay que regar las portulacarias yo tengo algunas pero quisiera saber cada cuando hay que regarlas, te mando un fuerte abrazo y que Dios te bendiga siempre saludos desde mexico y gracias por compartir tus videos en horabuena y muchas felicidades por tus bonsais de tu hermano jose Manuel de mexico
Thank you! I water my portulacarias once they dry out 100%. It depends on the soil and season but if you use well draining soil then usually daily in the summer
Muchas gracias por tu información agradezco mucho saludos
A beginner here, I found your video very interesting…. Thank you for sharing all your work! I learned a lot today! As a new subscriber I have not watched all your videos…. Hopefully when I watch them I will be learning enough to get going with this new project for me.. I transplanted today a Jade plant I had in a large pot with other plants and a timely advise from you to place them on the ground since I had placed on top of a stone… should a new transplant get 3-4 hours of sun or no sun at all?
3-4 hours should be good since jade is a succulent. Enjoy the journey!
Hello beautiful plants - please let me know what substrate you use for them - what mixture? May BONSAI be with you - best regards 🙋🏻♂️
I just uploaded a short about my soil mix. Enjoy!

For is good Portulacaria afra - acadamia- lava- pumex 1:1:1?
I thought the smaller limb on the bottom added width and shape, kind of a miniature fig tree look, looking at the display along the back wall you do seem to tend towards a similar style of design.
I totally see what you mean on that branch. It was the lack of thickness in relation to the upper branches that made me decide to remove it. I definitely have a style so went with what was more comfortable. Thanks for the feedback!
Am I making a mistake by placing my clippings and branches in top soil instead of well draining soil ?
Yes dwarf jade will rot in wet soil so need well draining soil. They propagate best in the summer
@@zanestrees I’m in Florida and I use a raised planter box and the soil dries out within a day or 2 should I still make the switch ?
Do you leave them outside all year?
hi man! Best soil for that plant???? Greetings from Italy
Hello! I use cactus/succulent soil while the plant is in development but when in a bonsai pot, I use pumice/lava/akadama. I have a video all about my soil mix on my Instagram and TikTok pages.
@@zanestrees tnx for the quick answer! Tnx a lot
@@zanestrees.. hello,there… thanks for that information… some of us have no access to those social sites, have you thought of posting on UA-cam also, sometime? I am just beginning to get involved in this aspect of working with plant and I would like to have as much information as possible.. I saw your video when you first worked on that Jade “tree” and the result, the outcome of all your work is outstanding!
I just uploaded my soil video 👍
@@zanestrees THANKS! 🙏
I need your advice! I will contact via insta .
