      Hey Nigel! Unfortunately, I don't I found this pot at a local Bonsai nursery in Florida and thought it was super cool! They don't ship. If you'd like a couple, I can pick them up the next time I am in Florida and ship them to you. :)

    wow awesome job Jerome. I love the way you styled this portulacaria forest.. I have several tiny rooted cuttings of portulacaria afra (about 6 months old).. what would you typically recommend? Do you let them grow bigger first before putting them into a forest setting or just plant them together to form a forest?

    • @WeareTheBonsaiSupply
      @WeareTheBonsaiSupply  3 роки тому

      I would plant them together already! The more time they have to grow, the better the root spread will look.

    Ive enjoyed your videos and am a subscriber. On other videos you have done. videos for like your specimin port. You mention not messing with the roots they are very fine and dont like to be messed with. Then here with the jade forest you say the opposite that they can handel root reduction np. In my experience with the ovata is it can handel anything chops mistakes, abuse ,even the frozen tundra while inside the house in a south window of course. Is there any difference to the care of the afra and avata jade ?

    After how long would you generally get rid of the ground wires holding the tree's base, and how would they be removed? I guess it depends on individual species growth to prevent the wire cutting in right?

    TIP for everybody. Don't waste all that time picking and racking the root ball. Just grab it by the trunk and smash it against a rock or the ground. Shake off the soil maybe a little rake through and done. Now trim roots.
