- Bonsai Life Stories by Little Jade Bonsai. This is a mame size tree I had been training for 6 years until I was thrown an unexpected curve ball. This is the tree that inspired my logo. I made a critical mistake by waiting too long before repotting. A family of rove beetles began to eat the roots and it developed root rot. The reason I noticed it was because all my other trees were plump after heavy watering but this tree had wrinkled leaves. Wrinkled leaves are a sign water isn't reaching the foliage. That could mean it either needs more water or it's root rot. It was definitely the latter. I was able to save all the upper branches by turning them into cuttings. It was a tough loss but we persevere and life goes on. Enjoy!

A really awesome life lesson!
Thank you Nigel!
Yes in fact, it really is painful when such a beautiful bonsai is affected by root rot, appreciate your decision to convert it into 3 to save it👍👍
Thank you!
How to avoid root rot
Your videos have taught me a lot about Jade plants. Yes, Sad to know about your plant but you also learnt and shared a Great Lesson for Life
I appreciate that my friend! 💚
this went from interesting to inspirational, well i liked the quote at the end
I'm so glad you were able to save parts of your "logo tree" and turn a negative thing into something positive. Looking forward to seeing how the new trees develop over time!
Thank you!
Your jade story is genuine. That’s v commonly taking place. Hats off to your confession
Thank you Anita!
Thanks for sharing !! So true it’s all on how we respond to what life throws at us.
Exactly! Thanks Bobby!
Beautiful ❤️🥰 as always, appreciate your patience and spontaneous decisions to save them .....keep rocking

Thank for sharing friend!!!
Thank you!!!!
So inspiring!
Fantastic video!
I love the progression and I admire the life lesson at the end even more!! Great work
Hi there,
nice one again, I am sorry how it ended up - I like the learning you took away from it!
A great training progression with a sad ending but as the life of one small bonsai has ended, three new little trees just started their journey. Looking forward to new updates!
Thank you!!!
Can't wait to see a new one!
Wow bro great video and message loved it!!! Keep making them!!!
What an awesome little video.! Gives me hope for my 2 little cuttings on my first ever step in to Portulacaria afra and bonsai for that matter.! 👌🏼🤞🏼
I l9vved your last lines. And the music too. Good job!
Thanks again for the inspiration! Great video 😊
Madre mia!!! que belleza!!!!!! Thank you!
You. Are. The Jade Whisperer.

@@LittleJadeBonsai sorry about the rot. It's so tough losing a tree.
beAutiful message in this video!!!
Love it
Nice u'r logo..👍👍
Awesome
খুব সুন্দর ভিডিও। অপূর্ব 👌
Awesome video! Maybe you wouldn’t mind doing a video about how to root cuttings? I’ve tried and never seem to have success. I’ve got 4 little jades so I’ll keep trying but any tips you have would be great! Either way keep up the good work!
Great Jade videos, love all the trees you have on the side of your house. Can I request a video showing how to prune the branches, from where to cut them and how to plant cuttings to grow trees from them.
Thank you very much
Like it ❤
Nice sir...very inspiring me
Thank you!!!!
I like mame...👍
Super 👍👍
Thank you!
Beautiful tree you developed!
Did you learn all the Bonsai knowledge yourself? I've been trying to grow bonsai on myself and also read books on it, however I find it hard to decide what is suitable to do next / design decisions.
😍
Eu estou cultivando portulacraria afra...
It would be cool if you could make a cluster style bonsai with the cuttings. I'm not sure how well this plant would grow like that though.
music👍👍
Poor mame tree :( but I k ew before you pointed it out upon seeing it that it musta been the origin of the logo, very fitting!
All my Portulacaria including o es I had for a year or two just aren't growing well. Do you have any advice for me? Thanks in advance and for the inspiring specimens :D
great video as usual. I have a medium sized p. afras that I recently put into a bonsai pot. They were originally planted in a 5 gallon pot with regular garden soil along with several other plants. It is pushing some new growth but a lot of the older leaves don't really plump up after waterings. Is that pretty normal for recently repotted and root pruned p.afras? Keep up the content!
Yes it's normal. It takes a while before the tree can recover from the stress of root pruning. I would stay consistent with watering and give it time and fertilizer.
What’s the technique for developing small-leaved, dense growth around a cut or back on branch? Fertilizer, I get. But is there constant pruning, too?
This is a Beautiful presentation with a sad yet hopeful ending. You teach so well through experience. I purchased a portulacaria afra 12/15/20 and am concerned about the leaves that continue to drop. There is a lot of new growth but the new leaves shrivel, dry up and drop off. I wonder if I should take a look at the root system because of this.
Unless you are heavily watering, I wouldn't. They always drops leaves when brought indoors due to the change in environment. I'm currently working on a video on leaf drop that I plan to complete soon.
@@LittleJadeBonsai Thank you for your helpful reply. I am eager to learn from your video. My little tree has been and will continue to be an indoor tree. I live in an apartment. It has not been overwatered because I am treating it more like a succulent, but I did give it a good watering today and trimmed back a number of branches because it was so leggy. PATIENCE, patience :-/ I know. Thank you again.
How did u save these branches? Just cut them and dipped into the soil? And did u use any hormons?
What’s a cheap price for a turntable and what is a good link
Sou apaixonado por portulacaria, pena que não tem a tradução para o português de suas experiências para aplicar nas minhas plantas.....
😎😎😎
Cada cuánto es el riego o cuando se siembra se coloca al sol o sombra muchas gracias por la información
Are you sure this is mame and not regular size elephant bush? Leaves aren’t looking that big. Thanks
Attaboy

I would have flipped a coffee table then been filled with greater regret than before.
