- Maintenance trimming an overgrown portulacaria afra bonsai forest. This forest was gifted to me by my good friend Bob in 2016 and I've been working on it since (5 years). Hope you enjoy!

My favorite new channel I have found. My brother left a jade plant at my house before he deployed to the military and I didn't know what to do with it and it just kept growing then I found bonsai and I now have 10 or so of them all in the small 1 to 2 year old range and this channel has been a great resource on what to do with them. Cheers!
Wow! Gradually I'm getting addicted. ❤️ Love from India
Lol! You pruned more off than you received from your friend in the first place! How nice to have such a concrete memorial of your friendship and still more bits to pass along to a widening network.
Looks like a masterpiece 💚
Thanks my friend!
Love the forest
Great looking forest Gilbert! I love that you show before and after shots of your work. Keep up the great work!
What a difference the trimming made! It looks great!
Thank you!!!!
I just picked up a nice jade. Your videos are nice, good info thank you
Very nice forest!
This forest is awesome! This is quickly becoming my favourite species! Great tutorial as well 👍
Thank you! It’s my fav too. 😁
thats supperb, before pruning nothing was visible, but once pruned all the trunk lines n individual plant structure got visible so well🤝🤝
A fantastic looking jade jungle. Great work of art. I would love to make one such Bonsai jungle for myself. Thanks for giving a great idea.
Great work little Jade Bonsai
Love love love it!!
FANTASTIC ......... Love your Videos ive been growing them out of beer bottles and beach stones ...I love my Jades ....I give cuttings to Friends but more cuttings than Friends .................
Thank you for uploading your videos your the best 👍
Looks pretty good 👌🏻
:O nice progress, looks great after pruning :) and the video quality is awesome :D
Thank you!!!!
I'm envious of the amount of growth you get. In the last few months mine have grown maybe a couple of centimeters if that. Yours are looking great though, maybe send me your hundreds of surpluses clippings xD
Awesome video, love them all!!! Is it posible that you can make a video of your fertilizing routine?
It’s in the works!
You inspired me. Just started my own little forest of cuttings. Wish me luck ^^
Awesome! You got this! Stay consistent and trust the process. 💚👌🏼🌳
@@LittleJadeBonsai Thanks :) I folow your advice. Cut to first set of leave and wait. One day I hope to have several style of ports. Its such a fun and play full plant to bonsai :)
Gilbert, nice work. I'm a Port afra enthusiast also and have many forests ranging from small ones like this, to ones so large they're too big to move. I really like this one. My only suggestion: Look front-on at the composition, and just to the right of the main tree, there's a small 'Y' shaped tree in the back which distracts the eye. I would replace it with a single stemmed tree that's more in keeping with the rest of the forest.
Like it !!!

You’re very inspirational, thank you. I appreciate your common sense solutions. Thanks!
Just one word woooow
It looks amazing! As I was watching this video I kept wondering: have you ever done a flash forward to about two weeks after the initial filming to show the subsequent growth? It would be great to actually see what you’re talking about. Love the videos, keep doing it!
What is the best fertilizer for jade bonsai
Perfect video about Portulacaria afra. I wonder if I put 5 to 6 P. afra together if they would grow together as one, like ficuses. Have you ever tried something like this? Well thank you!
Love this video! Excellent info! I’m just getting started in Jade and can use all the info I can get. Love the way you explain everything! What do you fertilize with, how much and how often? I’m hearing that Jade doesn’t need lots of water. Not that often. Any tips and tricks you can pass along would be helpful, and appreciated! This forest you just created is amazingly cool!
👍👍
I wonder how the repotting can be done? All looks nice..
Just started planting from cuttings 2 years ago just using potting soil.
Then your channel pop up two weeks ago and im a big fan already.
So I bought some turface and landscaping mix for repotting
My question now is how often do I need to water them and fertilize them as well
Thanks
Hi. My twin brother and I are looking to start trying bonsai for the first time. After watching your videos I decided I want to try and do a jade forest like you. What are your recommendations and steps for me to take to create something like what you have? I haven’t been able to find a place that sells a large jade plant to be able to create multiple branch cuttings to make the forest so what can I do? Also where can I find inexpensive bonsai pots for forest type bonsai? I mainly been able to find regular size pots for individual plants but not big and shallow for a forest.
I Love it...🪴🌲🌳
Amazing!! How often should i be trimming? Mines not filling in much
What do you fertilize with. They are beautiful
Gilbert. Where did you get that table? Looks like a good one.
Really cool forest. Thanks for the video. Do you mind sharing what substrate you have found works well for you??
Anything works for the port. afra. If you have long rain seasons, plant in a very free draining soil with lots of aggregate. If you have very warm long summers and cant water everyday, use something with a bit more organic matter and a substrate that holds back moisture. It really does depend on your climate. That being said, these little guys love lots of air in their roots and cane take drying out really well.
We live in a Mediterranean climate, Algeria. Is mud rock with pine bark any good? Thank you for these videos. I am waiting for the answer.
Bravo! Sei un artista!

What stand are you using in this video? Looks to have some great articulation.
Ever used variegated form of portulacaria afra? Are you able to grow them inside your home? Do they need to be on a window where sun will hit them? Thanks, I like all your videos, very informative.
What do you fertilize with? Thanks
How do you get the trunks so big. That is an elephant bush right
How you do repotting of this forest, Repotting can change the placement ?
🔥🔥🔥💚💯💯
What fertilizer do you use, and how do you fertilize them 🤔.
That would be a good vid👍🏽😀
If the tree has healthy roots, a high Nitrogen fertilizer can be used to speed up growth. You can also use a regular regiment of slow release fertilizers over the entire growing season. The more you cut, the more they grow!
How often can you trim Jade trees? I live in south Florida so similar to your environment, thanks!
Where u been ..
What fertilizer do u used and how often
How often watering a woods? It looks very nice...
I water daily from spring to late late summer.
@@LittleJadeBonsai thank you for answering..I have succulent ovata..The leaves are falling down if I touch it.. It is not a bonsai tree..
What’s a good price for a turntable please leave me a link
I use jade cuttings I want to create a thick trunk in my jade how many years should I grow it I want to over grow it and trim it to have a thick trunk how many years should I grow it and trim it I want a very thick trunk what is the max trunk size for portaculria afra
If you want a large bonsai, plant your cuttings in a very big container or in the garden. Let it grow for a few years until you are happy with the size, then dig it out of the ground saving as much roots as you can, and cut the top back to start your bonsai. First grow the trunk, then grow the branches.
Do you sell your trees
It's really one of my favorite in your collection , Inspirational ,I tried to do something today with lots of old 4" type material , but can't make like this ...
Kindly add me on FB friend request I had sent u , since a long time I am following you in P.A Group ,I have became a big Port addict ..all ur plants are lovely
