Hi Nigel. Thank you very much, Im so glad you enjoyed it! I will have to do a follow up on the rest of his trees.
Nhiều cây già , dáng cụm rừng đẹp🎉🎉🎉
This is the most amazing collection of jade I've ever seen. Simply stunning
Couldn't agree more!Thank you so much for the support.
I don't say this but this but in my personal opinion I think this is so far the best spekboom I've seen thus far. An Ive been following lots of guys on different platforms cause bonsai has me interested. An most of the guys aren't local like Dr swartz.. I'm a colored from Cape Town an I'm gana go out on a limb an say for the good Dr skepboom grows in his back yard am he an couple of buddies got together to do some sleep over jeep hike trip seeking trees maybe the spekboom it self lol. So Mr doctor thank you for... Not sure how to put it in words but it just feels different when someone speaks about something indigenous to the country that's from the country sometimes special through all this country. You should do more of this doctor lol so I can learn more
Indigenous trees remain vastly underappreciated in South Africa, making it a rarity to encounter someone with such an astounding collection of them. What's even more remarkable is Dr. Andre Swart's distinctive approach, drawing inspiration from African-style trees rather than solely adhering to traditional Japanese styles. Visiting his Bonsai Paradise was a true blessing. I look forward to returning in the future to delve deeper and ask more questions.
Beautiful 😊
Every tree is an work of art 😊
Liked your technique not to wire the tree.
Thank you very much. Dwarf Jades do very well with clip and grow techniques.

Calling a spekboom (Portulacaria afra) a dwarf jade (Crassula ovata) is technically incorrect, as they are totally different species, and "dwarf jade" is a misleading name.
Hi Ray, thanks for the comment. Yes, you are 100% correct. I live in Cape Town, and obviously we call it Spekboom here but in many countries overseas its called Dwarf Jade and even Jade plant . We cant choose what common names these beautiful plants are given in other countries.
Dr Andre inspired me to grow dwaf jade bonsai. I’ll love to visit and tour his collection someday!!
Glad you are inspired!!! It was such a blessing to visit his collection.

Chú chơi nghệ thuật rất khoa học
Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều vì đã hỗ trợ bạn của tôi
I think for some plants you can get away with just using stone and don't need to worry about nutrients/organisms. Autotrophic plants produce their own sugars. Ive had multiple cuttings of dwarf scheflerra in a pot of fine white silica sand that they use at golf courses. They're all root-bound in the same pot with many aerial roots. Idk if they are considered autotrophic but I assume they are by the way they grow. I find that most plants that you can take from cuttings require very little so long as you give them water and drainage. Regardless of whether you have good soil or not, there still microorganisms in the pot even if its just an empty pot
Very interesting points, Portulacaria Afra can grow in nearly anything including water. But they thrive with lots of fertaliser if you are wanting fast growth then you should nuke them with fertaliser and they grow like crazy. Thanks for you comment.
Ongelooflike mooi bome. Die styl is besonder interessant.
Baie dankie!!
Can you give the details of the packs of earthworm soil? What is that exactly? Great video.
Hi There, thank you very much. The mix in the black fertaliser pods is a home made fertaliser mix consisting of Bone Meal, Bounce Back, 2/3/2 (fertaliser) and Worm Tea. Hope this helps?
Incredible. I always recognized the potential of portulacaria so I have a couple myself. But new ones and nothing remotely close to this scale. Such inspiration.
Thank you very much, Im glad you are also inspired. They sure do have amazing potential.
Love your video Andre, very educational.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s very great
Thank you very much
please clarify what he was talking about , no water for many days .thank you
These plants are full of water, in their leaves as well as in the trunks and branches. They can go for weeks without any water.
Good
Thank you very much!
This garden and trees are magnificent & mystifying. Thank you for sharing sir.
Thank you very much for the comment. Im so glad that you liked it.

@dwarfjadebonsai some of the best I've seen. He's got a lot of knowledge, and seems like a nice bloke.
What sort of ski boat bearings are used to create the turntable?
It's just the mechanism is used for the seats on the boats that rotate. Obviously made for the sea / water as to not rust etc which is the key.
@@dwarfjadebonsai Got it. Boat seat swivel, thank you.
outwordly...simply incredible
