- After a cold day in the orchard, I'm repotting my new "arm size" Jade, getting it underway as a bonsai!
The tree is a Crassula ovata and is native to South Africa.

Thanks for all the inspiration, Nigel! I found your channel ages ago when looking on YT for “jade pruning” and absolutely love everything about your channel - from the plants to the biking to the truck!
I was able to save my grandmother’s rotting jade because of your videos. Thanks for sharing your journey with us all!
Wonderful, great to hear!!!!
It's interesting how jades can survive and grow with just a small ammount of roots like your has. Quite a resilient plant!
Who doesn't like big jades and the landscape totally improved it (as usual when Nigel's magic hands are at work).
I really like the upgrade on camera quality inside the greenhouse! Awesome.
That's a very nice fat jade, that's going to be giant in no time. I agree that's theb Goldilocks pot for it Nigel. "Just right "
The best channel to learn about jade plants!
That is going to be an amazing bonsai one day! Thanks again for sharing your day. I know this will seem odd, but the best part for me was seeing how you prepare the soil! (I’m a newbie)!
You should style your jade to look like one of those African baobab trees, also it has a similar bark texture as a baobab would in the wild
I thoroughly enjoyed this big beautiful jade repotting video. Love hearing your thought process from pot choice to the red rocks & turfise for visual effect. Great camera work as well. Many thanks.
Lovely result from the repot, Nigel, a great beginning in the Bonsai Zone
Nigel you should keep a bucket of ice water in your truck to warm your hands! On another note, I absolutely love your cinematography, the forethought of placing the camera in the truck so we can see you getting in and starting it up is a real nice touch!
i Learned a lot of you. i love crassula Ovata, you can make fast bonsais with them, specially if you have a older Tree. 🥰🤗
I just got one for my wife in a 4 inch pot. It shows great promise; 6 inch high main trunk, 2 nice low branches and lots of clusters up the trunk. I repotted it last night cuz it was growing crooked. So much root! I dont know if I will be allowed to style it, but I will get plenty of cuttings over the next few years.
Good morning Nigel. What a good final aspect of such a humble material!
Wow how much difference a pot and landscape can make. Absolutely beautiful!!
It's definitely worth saving the sifted out bits of perlite and turface, whether it be for seeds or in the garden.
Ok... now I'm jealous 😅🌳❤👍
Welcome to the family
love that mid-video sifting!!
You’re a magician.
Hi Nigel!! 👋👩🦳️👋 Very cool arm sized Jade, with nice planting; the reddish rocks and decorative soil covering.
Did you think of trying to find an old looking wooden dollhouse sized chair to lean back up against the trunk? I know, I know, it's kind of cliche', then you would have an "Armchair Jade". 😉😄😂
I continue to love your work Nigel and how much you share. With your viewers and your community!
I need me an arm sized Jade! Look nice mate, I'm so looking forward to seeing its progress!
That truck is freaking awesome. So jealous. That thing is worth a ton of money.
But that leak is super easy and cheap to fix
I have the same kind of jade never did I thought they get that big or bigger of trunk. So my two year old tree is just a baby.
If you like desert style bonsai, maybe some day I see you growing Artemisia tridentata, commonly called Great Basin sagebrush. I have a yamadori I field collected on my tribal land over a year ago, and it just explodes with new growth in the spring. Will flower In the fall, and stay green in the winter. Very aromatic when pruning. If you ever get a chance to work with them I think you as well will fall in love with them.
Watching you take the time to sift the soil reminds me not only of how greedy I am when it comes to these things, but also how much haste I put into my every day actions. Perhaps from time to time, you need to slow down and enjoy the good things.
Edit: Its amazing that the top shoot landed in the middle of the top scar, it will be able to create perfect taper!
You really need a nice stiff nylon brush with a fine handle for scooping away dirt, your art is very much like uncovering the bones of dinosaurs.
Great video! Thanks for taking us for a ride 😁 The arm-sized jade is beautiful and the big branch scar reminds me of Grandmother Willow, maybe this one is Grandmother Jade lol
The Jade is doing well so far, I can't wait to get it outside for the summer!
Crassula is amazing for bonsai! I have found that they like to grow in pire lava rock,excellent for succulents!
Great new tree that’s the one you got for 10bucks nice score
Using scoria/lava rock for topping can be an invite to mealy bugs which like laying eggs and living in the holes in the scoria.
Thanks, good to know!!!
Hahaha No squeaks!
I'm surprised you didn't save the fine soil like last time. Something majestic with brushing it off the stone though.
Niceeee! 19:54 the Jade would look good as a baobab in my opinion (since it have that strong and thick trunk).Anyway,I can't wait to see the development of this tree over the time.😊💡🙏
Thanks Nigel. It's cold again down here too.
I like very much the music in the end, seems going to the weird now^^........
That thing is insane! :D
Thank you for this great video, and for pronouncing the word "Bonsai" correctly. I hear banzai being referred to as bonsai all too often.
Thanks Chuck!
Long time viewer, first time commenter. I absolutely adore the videos you put out, it is very inspiring.
I was watching your older video on making bonsai soil, and I have been shopping for the ingredients this week. However in today's soil you didn't use organic components, as you did in the other video. I was wondering if that is because you were preparing it for Jade, and aiming for very low water retention.
Again, love your channel; great videos, warm and educational. Thanks!
Great video, thanks! So perlite+Turfus for the soil of your bonsais? No organic material? Just fertilizer in the water?
That is correct!
@@TheBonsaiZone Thanks for answering ! I am going to try. I tend to over-water with nursery soil that keep lots of moisture. Are you using the same fertilizer grade for all your bonsais? What do you use? I have 7-9-5
@@GabrielDaty I use a water soluble 20-20-20 with micro nutrients. the brand I use is Plant-Prod. I add a small pinch to my 2 liter watering can.
@@TheBonsaiZone Thanks Nigel ! Here (in the US) Plant-Prod bag was expensive but I found affordable 20-20-20 bags from 'Grow More' that seems similar. Maybe others reading have had experience with it?
Following, I’m gonna wait for updates on this one.
Thanks Jeffrey!
My jade outgrew my window, got it in a tent setup now, it’s a monster
It's got wrinkles because the roots are new and not supporting the plant with enough water, this happens to large cuttings like this. When the plant becomes more established those wrinkles will smooth out and become solid again.
That pot will be perfect for the next couple or three years, if not longer. I can see this becoming a truly majestic jade tree.
That having been said, you should perhaps shift your focus from that community garden to getting the dang greenhouse built. Maybe ask those that you help to help you?
You don't need the stress of another winter like the one we just had, and the plant room is woefully inadequate.
Lecture over.
Regards My Friend 👍🙏
I haven't seen any "hydraulic" problems with shallow pots. I use only shallow pots for every of my bonsai. Actually water from shallow pots run away much faster than higher pots. Shallow pots are wider and usually have more holes on the bottom, so water runs away instantly. Especially with light, bonsai soil which is water-permeable.
Nigel I am curious. You mentioned at 25:30 that you can let the jade trunk grow if you don't prune it (good summer also).
Is this a better way to get a thicker trunk than heavy pruning the top branches and side branches?
I asked a chat bot (PI AI) what dormant oil was, and he asked if I was having an issue with pests. I said no, I just heard Nigel mention it on UA-cam. The AI was like, “Ah! Nigel Saunders! He is a bonsai expert with a lot of tips and tricks.” 😂 - AI is getting crazy 😅
LoL, I am trying really hard to propagate some fruit bushes and trees, as a present for MY Local community garden. We hope to score a garden plot this year, but either way, I can do something to help.
Maybe you could rewound the big scar on the side and let it heal with the inner surface. Might speed up the healing of that area.
I have a similar looking jade Nigel ..
Hey Nigel what grade/mm gaps are in your soil sieve? Also what is a typical price if you know. I’m in the market for one. Thanks in advance
I think Jades look good in terra-cotta pots
Hi Nigel, I have found your last few videos have a better videography than usual, what did you change?
I know nothing about mechanical things, but can older engines run well on high octane?
I pot the cutting of tree ,it is one of ficus variety,
After 1 and ½ month it start budding, new 2 new leaves coming to cutting but when I remove the cutting from soil it haven't a single root fibre, can it possible
Hello nigel. What’s the tufted means soil mix? Blackpool is what type? Here in india it’s different
Any updates on this one?
$1.45 per L sounds alot like what we pay for regular here on the island 🏝️
My mini jade died recently it’s so hard fir me to keep them watered properlyv
For the next one, forget about keeping it well watered, it is almost impossible for a jade to die from lack of watering.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Bom dia, Flor do dia!
1,25 C$/L ?? ppuuh in Germany we pay 2,22 C$/L thats 1,5 €/L
Please fix your truck and make a haircut. You look like a real Canadian. lol
Oh for sure, eh!
Foist

John the Foist is foist!!!!
Oh noooooo hahahha

Noice!
The back part of bonsai is wrinkled, it means that is dead... this plant is gonna be die... with no roots... the wrinkled part in it... bad future. i see it to many times Nigel
