Thank you so much for being a subscriber. It means the world to us.
Holy cow! I can’t believe you got that much growth in a period of 10 years. That is a spectacular tree.
The level of knowledge, experience and skills is unparalleled.
Highly informative video.
Thank you channel for sharing useful things.
Love this video! He is a great presenter - and has a terrific vocabulary! True craft mastery! They (the couple) are so cute too 💛
Very good video with superb explanations and good styling decisions! Thanks! If only my wife was such a good help as Mary by repotting oder other Bonsaiwork. You're a great couple and I wish for you it remains like that.
See your just giving it out..ive been looking to find the secondary development videos...this is in depth..just how I love bonsai up close and personal..thank you..no beading around the bush with you my friend.

Thank you Nigel 🙏🌳
The can be only one Bonsai Saunders. Need you to turn around and go back Sir.
The Dog trotting by was a very nice touch. Anywhere Dogs are, there is Life & Prosperity. LOL
haha his hair got a new trimming as well 😂
I love how you got a haircut in the middle of making the video!
Hahahah! But of course! Some videos take a few days to film. You are the only one who noticed, good eye!
LOVE IT!!!! I had a nice Jade Bonsai, if it were still alive it would be over 20 yrs. Well after about 5 yrs. hehe a football came over the fence and direct shot DAMN, it had to be my jade!!!!
Whoa! Greetings from South Africa.. Very nice specimen 👌🏻👌🏻
Desmond thank you brother 🙏🙂
8:58 You caught me there.......... i was jaw dropping for seconds.....
Jade, Bougainville, ficus these tree are very strong and hardcore plant.. whatever happened they always tried to survived and Gives quick response !!!
This is important video,lovely video......THANKS!
Thank you!
Awesome..good job 👌
Give the tree a haircut, like you got between edits!!! :) Looks great!
Hey Lyle, I have no idea what you are talking about, hahahah
WOW. SUPPER😍
Thank you! Cheers!
What do you mean “wait for them too respond” how do you know the Jade or desert rose is responding? Beautiful jade by the way
I have a tiny tiny little jade from walmart so we will see what happens in like 15 years!
Hey bro would you clarify your watering process again , I’m confused … you let it dry out , then do the repot and defoliate , then water it ,, then let it dry out again , and wait for it to respond ?? Or do t water at all until it responds ?? Thx !!
thanks for your videos, they have been very helpful. I ask you if cuttings should be brought in for winter(zone 7/8) especially perennials. thanks. Peter
Great vid. Thanks! I’m in Fla. and got a Jade pre-bonsai this year. Hope in 10 years mine will look half as beautiful as the one in the vide. How long will you leave the wires on before cutting off? I haven’t tried wiring mine yet.
Is it better to put inside or outside
Hey Jerome, great video, I’m just curious as to what ratio you mix your pumice, lava, calcined clay and bark? 1:1? Also, I noticed in a lot of your videos at the shop you speak of your all purpose soil that includes all of the above plus charcoal and expanded clay and turf ace I believe? Which is your most recent mix and why did you happen to change it? Thanks!
Troy Torman hey Troy, the mix with charcoal was our first mix and we perfected it over the years and now use lava pumice, calcined clay and pine bark.
How did you get the trunk to be so thick and impressive on a plant that is only 15 years old and only been in training for 10 years?
very easy! you can thicken up trunks very quickly by letting your trees get over grown. I would let it grow out to about 3 feet away from the trunk and then cut it back hard, and let it grow out again. If you do this over a period of time the trunk will thicken up pretty fast
Wait for the tree to respond. You mean wait until it pushes out new growth, THEN water it?
Yup when the tree starts to grow that is the tree responding 🙂
Is There an update?
hi, is it possible to get it to flower in a humid environment ?
Hey Axelris, most likely not.
Hey, I have a question I got hold of a cutting of a main branch from a bush, I chose that one because it’s already thick but I don’t know if it is too thick, 2 fingers thick, would I be able to get roots from that cutting?
Did you put the tree under shade ?
Yes I did, and no water until it started growing again
if you were to sell that what would the price be?
It is for sale, shoot me an email at info@thebonsaisupply.com please
💕💕🌳🌳🌳💕💕
he trimmed the tree and his hair too. hhahah
The new angle makes so much difference I'm in the early stages of growing my mini jade and alot of the jade videos are not in English so I just have to learn by watching. So thanks for this help and information. Keep up the good work 👍
My heart almost stood still with nearly everything you did to that tree:D This is such a different approach to treating plant in comparision to tropical plants like I collect.
Very nice tree. The Jade is a perfect subject for those of us that got into bonsai when we were too old to wait 30 years to get the results we're after. :0)
Never too old!
You really got me with cutting the wrong branch at first haha. You really pulled off the “getting a haircut in the middle of the video” and didn’t think we would notice.
He forgot to say that if you get a haircut during the process, the plant doesn't get depressed about being trimmed up.
This guy provided me with so much straight to the point useful information about my Jade bonsai my brain is swollen. I push that subscribe button so fast it was like an auto pilot move...It was meant to be.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I have watched this video multiple times because it's so instructive in handling a mature portulacaria jade bonsai. Thank you!
😂❤thank you, I have jade plants all my life, but never really made it into a bonsai tree.
I love it, mahalo
Excelente trabajo Amigo no veas que portulacaria bonita ,a mi me encantan soy un enamorado de ellas tengo un canal en TH-cam: portulacaria bonsais leo
Pero vaya ni se me acerca a estas preciosidades sois unos Maestros como me gustaría aprender con vosotros un fuerte abrazo desde España ✅🤓🌟👋
When Mari repotted the cutting ( The branch ) did she just put the branch in soil or did you wait til it rooted? thank you for this video. Love your Jade tree...
I notice you also prune your hair, I know you're trying to get our focus on to the tree but can't hide that from us.
Hey Steven, Actually I pruned my hair twice during that video. Why do you think I wore a hat at the end? LOL!
We are The Bonsai Supply OMG, I missed that one after the repotting process.....damn it... but won’t happen again in the next vid
Absolutely a beautiful tree! Did you put your cutting directly in bonsai soil or in another mix to get the roots to start growing?
Thank you David! Mari planted them directly into bonsai soil
Love the PA! I'm excited about mine in ten more years!
“That was the wrong branch”😂🤣😂
Me 😱😅
У вас самый лучший экземпляр портулакарии в мире 👍
Hi there, I really enjoy your channel and after watching your videos on Jade Trees i was wanting to ask a question. If i have a Jade Tree 20 years old and i cut a major branch off and pot it for say 1 year. How old is this new (but old) tree?
Hi 👋🏻 thank you for your kind words. So it gets a little tricky, but the branch’s age depends on which branch you take the cutting from. The bottom branches are generally older than the branches towards the top. So let’s say your tree is 20 years old perhaps the bottom branches would be around 10-15 and the top maybe 5 years old. Something like that.
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Thanks for that mate, makes sense. I have been making Jade Tree You Tube videos recently feel free to have a look.JADEKING 64
Helps a lot for beginners like me. From Philippines here, Tnx!
i watched this video about 10 times and im telling you its 1 amazing tree. i really waiting u to upload more videos about portulacaria afra bonsais trees that would be aosome ! aspeicelly will be nice to see this tree at the moment :)
I’ve got a jade bonsai about 70 years old and I want to bonsai one of my other jades
Thanks great video
Hi Jerome, Thank you it is a very good video with superb explanations and good styling of the Portulaceria afra (here in South Africa we just call them spekbome, if you translate it directly to English it will be called "bacon tree") keep up the good work.
I have a question. It's regarding cuts . If it's a smooth cut at a branch to remove a stubb above a ring does everything above the lowest ring or node suffer. So the cut is a previous heal cut I wanted to smooth out. But had no ring behind it except above and below a large branch on the main trunk. I simply chopping for taper. Thought smooth out the cut with the trunk. Then noticed no rings except above and below the branch. It's large . Just not sure if these cuts heal or am I going to get big diie back. Of so I would just cut now rather then risk rot to the entire tree. Because I'm just not sure how jades heal a cut like this. Ty hope I made sense.
That would be so difficult to cut that back so radically!
Kind of weird about the flowering only in dry climates because I have many Portulacaria Afra here in Phoenix AZ, extremely dry, and I've never seen a flower. Great plant. Leaves taste good imo too! Green apple taste.
Very huge n healthy tree, very nice vedio 👌
Thank you Mangesh
Your video has so much knowledge. Was definitely doing alot of things wrong. Thanks a million!
I can't believe how thick the trunk got in only 15 years. Is a Jade Bonsai tree the same plant as a Jade Plant? It looks the same except for the fat trunk.
A..M..A..Z..I..N..G 😍 😍
WOW. So impressive...
Hi Jerome… what do you do with the old mixed soil… can you reuse it. And I have a d jade that I would like your opinion on. Let me know ho to send you the pics or video. Thanks Alex
Im in southern california, what time of year would be best to do this. Thanks
Defoliating a Jade? You're killing me. My dear, I struggle to keep them fully aided!
Love p afras. Easy to care for, grow fast and make beautiful bonsai
how long is the wire left in place love the channel this plant and adenium are favorite my plant produced flower here in metro Phoenix
if it flowers this year i will send photos
it is in a large container can you give me advice on a fertilizer thx BillyT Buckeye AZ
I have a small single stem plant and it is only about 4in high right now. I would like it to get a thick trunk how should I trim it?
Me encanta este árbol, se ve genial!! Hay personas que no lo consideran un árbol real, pero de todas formas es una planta espectacular. Yo tengo varios en mi colección y me gustan mucho, pero tu bonsai es sin dudas superior!!! Un abrazo desde Argentina!!!!
Dang I was sacred re potting a 7 ear old couldn't imagine how you feel
I would like to see that tree from the beginning or did you buy it already made?🤔
Dam, did the complete opposite of what he said to do on a repotting. Hope my tree makes it 😔😔
When you say, wait until they respond, how will they respond?
That branch that bothers you is very natural looking imo

Are you even old enough for this? Did you get this tree when you were 10 y/o?
If that jade could speak, you would have to censor it
Hi Jerome, thanks so much for the inspiring work on Bonsais that you do....I have a question....if i partially cut through a 2 inch trunk of a portulacaria afra with the technique used to bend the trunk quite drastically( i think you know what i mean...if not i can send you a link) and then bend and tape it up....will it survive?
I have accidentally damaged quite thick branches and taped them up and they have fused and survived...
Keep up the good work...kindest regards
lello
Hi thank you for your kind words. I know what you are talking about. Unfortunately jades don’t fuse back together so this technique wouldn’t work.
An elephant bush is not a jade. Stop click baiting
After how many days we have to water after repotting
I have a mental problem. That process seemed so violent to me.
Why do you use the wire on some branches please?
Excellent vid. Thanks!
Am 23 right time to start bonsai 😅
What is the advantage of defoliating the tree?
both of you got a haircut.
Sscrp 👍🏻❤️👍🏻
Great material! I understand why that that first branch is bothering you. I would definitely remowe it. Thanks for sharing.😀👍
Didnt know you can twist these branches like that. on my tree they would just fall off >.
8:58 things you dont want to hear xD
Thank You!
I couldn`t understand when to water after repoting?
I generally wait 1 week. Repot only in Summer.
Nice👌👌👍👍👍👍👌👌👌😊😊❤❤
Wooow this monster 👍❤
It's painful 💔 act...
Um, that's a elephant bush, not jade. Jade is crassula ovata.
Portulacaria afra, dwarf jade, pork bush, elephant bush, or just jade are all the same in the bonsai community.
Bagus sekali amazing 🙏👍
