Does pot size matter for growth in training a portulacaria afra for bonsai? - Little Jade Bonsai

I wanted to make a video to show how pot size can affect the growth on a dwarf jade. The timeframe was 8 months from start to finish. In summary, yes the larger the pot, the more your roots will grow and develop resulting in matched growth up top on the foliage.
So in my opinion, if youre trying to train a bonsai, don't rush to put it into a bonsai pot. Train it in a large container to develop it quicker. Because once you put it into a small bonsai pot, the growth slows down dramatically.

Glad to see you back on UA-cam. Hope to see more updates this season!!

[@stylist_bitter6194]

So excited to have you back!! My favorite bonsai content on YT, missed you friend :)

[@CoryandStuff]

Finally! Great to see you back on UA-cam, you always had the best content for ports.
Surprised how little the smaller pot one grew even though it did get a bigger pot.

Привет из России! Рад что ты вернулся! Лучший канал по бонсаю из портулакария афра. Выпускай видео почаще! С октября прошлого года формирую свое растение и очень доволен. Поставил хороший свет, обрезал. Сейчас к весне повторно обрезал новые побеги уже и наложил проволоку. Растёт очень быстро.

[@thorge3997]

Yeah!

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

That is an incredible and very unexpected result. i have been potting up slowly as I would with all my cutting related material. I shall have to follow this example now and see if it was just 'slight of hand and mirrors' :)

[@mikeshobbiesandrandomstuff]

Yay!! It's been forever man glad your back.

[@Armistice023]

You’re back! Awesome. If you have more videos in the works, I can’t wait! If you don’t, then no worries!
Great video showing the growth over a few months. Hard to see with most channels sometimes

[@serabonsai]

[@nino32902]

My girlfriend was just make fun of me and said little bonsai so thought I’d check out to see if you posted and was so glad to find you had . Hope all is well

[@anwarallie]

New subscriber. Here in South Africa we call this a “spekboom” literally bacon tree as the leaves are edible. It’s very prolific and where I live I’ve got so many of them that they’ve formed a hedge. Only recently did I think a small piece of it looked like a bonsai tree, hence finding your channel. Vey informative and helpful. Love your work.

[@cindylundberg125]

Wow! What a difference. I am just starting my adventure with them and need to keep them on a small size. Thank you for the experiment

[@user-wd6rt7cu8i]

[@user-hn8vb9eh4j]

Hello! Your videos are very helpful, thank you. Glad there's a new video! What is the volume of a large pot?

[@owendouglas5220]

Great video thankyou!!!

[@brianmitchell132]

Great video. I love comparisons. So are you using just bonsai gravelly soil? I've seen some folks use regular potting soil to grow faster

[@CheeseDimes]

That’s so awesome ❤

[@jessiealonzo2660]

It's been awhile I haven't seen ya, anyways thanks for the knowledge.

[@Bonsai_Core]

Finally ❤🎉

[@michaelmason4206]

Wow!

[@mt_yuji]

Great video, I'm curious about the root development. What exactly is happening that produces more growth? Is it the extra soil that is holding more water?

[@gagansharma7572]

[@sportfisher4208]

[@LearnToTradeInternationa-vm7mn]
