Shriveled Jade after 7 month without water | Glorious Revival

Jades are real masters of drought. This jade was not watered for 7 months, and it bounces right back after watering this succulent bonsai for the first time in spring.

I just started my Jade journey today.

And.. how is it doing?

[@grandmagrace9453]

Such a beautiful jade tree- just beautiful.Very nice. I do just about the same thing with mine. I just brought mines in A little after Thansgiving just before the first freeze. I feel like they do better when I leave them out till it gets good and cold then move them into a cold house- I put them out in the spring on the first warm rainy day- They love that soaking and flourish in it. Thanks for sharing!

They are so easy to grow just take a leaf or even a small little branch stick it in soil and it will grow and they grow fast too

Beautiful tree and lovely video. Very informative and concise. Thanks.

[@CrazyPlantLady911]

I'm surprised that the leaves didn't drop off and you were able to revive them (and they didn't even really turn that yellow). Is it because it was in REALLY good shape beforehand? My jade plant gets yellow leaves that drop off regularly.

Yay

[@austinvickymoore3656]

Would love to have one of these... could probably let it grow till I die and pass it to my daughter

[@joewatkins1667]

That's such a nicely shaped tree

[@Ficusforev]

Very cool!

[@TOMSAI]

Amazing 😍

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thanks 🤗

Beautiful! They're amazing, aren't they?
Try to get some more sun on it, but do it very gradually so it doesn't burn. 🌱

[@GrowingBonsai]

It cannot get more sun. It is in 16hrs of sun a day.

I have a Crassula ovata Jade that has very similar structure as yours except mine seems to have large leaves.
Is your Crassula a slightly smaller leaf variety or have the leaves been reduced in size?

[@GrowingBonsai]

Hi, this is the normal "common" crassula ovata. It does not get a lot of fertilizer and in summer sits in full sun. I think the density of branches has helped in reducing the size a bit.

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Do you generally not water it inside over winter? I really liked this short :)

[@GrowingBonsai]

It depends a little. This one I just.. Ahum, forgot about I suppose..

[@judacous2699]

I haven’t seen many jades yet but this one is very pretty, how long did it take to get to this?

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you. This is now 9 years from a cutting. See more about this tree here: ua-cam.com/video/NEhSP34iY0U/v-deo.html

[@diveactive]

My room and windowsills are full of them. I always thought they were called money trees but the right name is Jade?

[@SubconsciousLight]

Crassula Ovata, Money Vine, Dollar Plant, Fortunate Plant, and Friendship Flower:)

[@neiceyd.6102]

I just bout one. And I’m nervous and don’t want to harm it. I have it inside and am wondering about lighting. What do they like in terms of temperature?

[@GrowingBonsai]

you mean a jade? THey love heat, sun and when hot and warm, water. IF it was indoors, trqnsferring it into full sun needs to happen over time, to avoid sunburn1

[@natedykstra1498]

Is this a crassula or a portulacaria?

[@CDF936]

It's crassula, portulacaria has smaller leaves.

[@GrowingBonsai]

This is a crassula

[@pansepot1490]

Perhaps it’s pedantic but that’s an Indian elephant.
I don’t know why but I have always disliked succulent plants. However beautiful a jade bonsai is to me it always looks like a fat weed. 😭

[@suntzu957]

Jade plants are so ugly, waste of water air soil space

[@GrowingBonsai]

[@djnick59]
