- As Jerome carefully begins the repotting process, he shares the incredible journey of this resilient bonsai, which has been a part of his life for over a decade. We learn about its humble origins as a small pre bonsai and the care it received during its formative years to become the great piece it is today.

I have never seen a Jade so amazing.
Thank you so much 🙏🌳
Yep, this is by far the most beautiful jade I’ve ever seen. The pot is amazing as well. Your explanation on how to trim, repot, fertilize, using proper soil, and your tree’s history is most informative. How long would you wait to water after repotting a 15 year old jade tree that suffered from stem rot? The roots that had damage were carefully removed along with the wet soil around the root ball, the infected branch that connected to the main branch just below the soil line has been cleanly cut away from the plant. It’s been in fresh, dry succulent medium for 11 days. It was definitely overwatered, which caused this situation. Any help would be much appreciated. It’s so cool seeing how well you’re taking care of your trees 🌳!🤘🏻
Hello, I am from Iran, I follow your channel, I use a lot of your experiences about the Portulacaria plant, but unfortunately we do not have your facilities here, such as high-quality bonsai soil, anyway, I am very happy with your channel. I met... you have a lot of fans in Iran, especially among flower and plant growers... good luck
I've heard some people from Pakistan crush clay bricks and select those to the right size as a more available alternative in their country
What a lovely specimen !!
Beautiful Bonsai 😍
Like it ❤️
My friend, thank you for good sharing 😊 Have a good day
Thank you Friend!
Stunning.
What a tree!!!😍😍😍 You answered my question about whether it had been exhibited, and it has a provenance! As far as the pot, the shape and size balance the jade beautifully. I’d like to see if a bit more subdued, warmer color and more oval shaped pot, brought any enhancement. I am interested in following the development and refinement of the currently lowest 2 branches on either side. Perhaps displayed on a stand, the lower branches would feel more stabilizing, especially the longer, lower one. 🤔 BUT, an ABSOLUTELY beautiful, healthy, vigorous, thriving happy jade tree!!!! Way to go Master Jerome-san 🌿
Love the yellow/cream pot!! Thank you for all the info and history on that gorgeous tree!❤
Amazing tree❤❤❤great job in getting it to look so wonderful now
Can you tell me if I understand this correctly?
Frequent pruning = lots of ramification, making the small branches and leaves more dense
Pause pruning (let grow out) = thickening trunk & main branches, but leggy growth?
that is correct! The leggy growth you need for the tree to thicken up. As the branches get long and leggy they become quite heavy and the tree has to thicken up to support all of that heavy growth.
Awesome to see this tree's past. This is a cool video. 🎉
Thank you 🙏 glad you enjoyed it!
I have dwarf crassula pre-bonsai in tiny pots. Also I have large portulacaria afra, which grow much faster. I know them as elephant grass, and some of them are quite big. The two are definitely different from each other. It's kind of hard to find information on the dwarf crassula. Your portulacaria is really beautiful, though.
Great looking jade.
Wow this so big jade bonsai..
All good
This tree is gorgeous. I have a 25 year old jade but it’s only been in good soil and cultivated to be a bonsai for the past 2 years. It’s gonna take a while for it to look like this
Pot is much better than the old one
Slow and steady my friend. Thanks I think so too.
I really appreciate the music in your videos :-)
Brilliant tree bud.
Thanks man
Just wanted to say hi, really enjoy your videos. You did a good job at Ben Agresta's garden, the Japanese Black pine (the big one) in the video was mine for 30 years and you showed your care of it in your video. Thanks
Thank you so much 🙏🌳
👍👍👍
I have an Afra that had spider mites and l treated it with soapy water a couple of times. It’s lost all foliage and im worried. Any suggestions?
My ports dont seem to mind being worked on root wise. Granted mine are much smaller and not developed. I even fully cut the roots off one of them because of reverse taper.
what a great tree and super video. You mentioned that the best time to repot portulacaria is summer. Is that also for mild climates the case? I live in western europe. I'm really a fan of portulacaria and have around 100 plants. but I don't seem to get large trunks on any of my plants. any tips? In summer they are outside and in winter I put them inside in a growing tent.
To answer your question yes summer is the best time of year to repot Jades anywhere and to grow larger trunks you will have to let the plant just grow without pruning back and give it time. I have videos on my channel where I’m working on jades too that might help you if you are interested.
do you water it after a repot or wait? does it go right back in full sun? thanks again.
It goes right back into full sun, and I wait to water it until I see new growth.
❤❤❤❤
Great video my friend, I see you mentioned Texas in your video. What part of texas are you in? I'm in Austin Texas, and would love to check out your place.
Thank you! Our manufacturing facilities are in houston. Unfortunately, it isn’t open to the public and there aren’t any bonsai on site. 🙂
How big is that pot? I need to look for a pot for my huge jade
Beautiful pot for a gorgeous tree…wowzer…
Question…do portulacaria afra like more nitrogen rather than a balanced ratio fertilizer…thanks so much
Thank you 🙏 🌳 high nitrogen is what they love. We use our 18-4-10.
Hi from the U.K. I have a quick question, which i hope you maybe able to help with. I have a porticularia bonsai and it seems to be recently dropping healthy leaves. The leaves are not shrivelled and are plump, any ideas what might be causing this? I only water when the leaves start to crinkle slightly. Thanks. James
The only thing I can think of not seeing where it is is it might be needing more sun. Hope it’s doing better.
I would like to do some decorating to my Fig-bonsai. What is best to use for making grass-like for ground cover?
Moss
My portulacaria is 49 years old, but it was not cultivated in bonsai form. I'm doing what I can with it.
I can image the styling possibilities! Take it to a master if you're a novice.
This Jade is indredible😍
Which soil mix do you use,please?
This one ☝️ 🙂thebonsaisupply.com/products/professional-bonsai-soil-mix

The bon Sai looks stunning. May I know What type of this bon Sai called please?
Thank you! It is called portulacaria afra or dwarf jade.
What are you doing in Texas? Do you have a location here now?
We have our warehouse out here for the past 4 years. We just recently moved out here to be close to the business.
