I used the keiki paste on my 3 different types of Jade plants and boy did it work!!! My variegated Jade busted out new growth at every single spot where I put it. Too bad I can’t post photos here!
Hi Jeff… love your Jade plants. I have one right now and will plan on pruning it soon. But my concern is, I always get mealy bugs on my jade plants. What do you do or use to avoid it? Thanks, Jeff
Hi Jeff! I majorly pruned my 12" bowl ofjade. You gave me the inspiration do it! Lots of thicker woody stems. After about a month there's a ton of new growth. I think the overall effect will be a small forest as opposed to one tree. Yours are beautiful!!!
I took your advice and pruned mine about a month ago. I am amazed how fast it started to put out new growth! Your video was very helpful👍 Thank you for the info!😊
I would like to know more about the "mother" jade plant, how old it is, how often you haven taken cuttings, what sort of care is provided, and what you plan to do with this plant in the future. Thanks!
I have a small jade plant that is only about 4-5 inches tall. My goal is to turn it into a bonsai, and your videos help prepare me for what things I need to consider and do while it grows. Thank you
I just gave my jade a hard prune. I also waited to long to water since spring started and gave it edema. Can wait for my bald Jade to fill out. Thanks for the tips. Your channel is the only reason I figured out how to prune mine. Great Video!!!
I've got some older jade plants (6-7 years old) with nice woody stems. But, I've neglected them for several years and I know they would benefit from pruning, even though I'm late! It's mid June. Yeah, it's a little scary, although I've done it before with good results. The thing is, ending up with way more cuttings than I care to deal with. I wish I could find some way to give all of the cuttings a home.
Hi Jeff, I have been following your tips about jade care and pruning. I feel so confident to care for my jades thanks to you. Really appreciate the video 😊 cheers
@@EverythingPlants It was well over a hundred but ive recently given a lot away for a charitable cause. I now have about 10 left that im going to start growing again, i will do a video over the next couple of days.
@@LetsDoBonsai ok.... Sounds like I need to check your channel lol. Do you apply similar pruning techniques to yours as explained in my video? I'm not teaching about bonsai techniques, but simply how I prune them.
@@EverythingPlants feel free to take a look, i have doen a few videos on Jades but not really gone as in depth as you have here but i certainly will on my next one, I will reference your channel as a lot of my subscribers have a soft spot for Jades despite it being a Bonsai channel. They all know i have a real soft spot for Jades. I do utilise very similar techniques as described in your videos. Maybe we can do a crossover one day
@@LetsDoBonsai that would be great! Jades are one plant that I constantly get questions about and of course I'm happy to help. These are special plants and I hope everyone gets one!
You are the Jade master. 🙌 When you prune, do you find that any new leaves grow from bare nodes? Or once the leaves fall off, that node is done making leaves? I lost quite a few Jade leaves from thrips, mealies, and the treatment. Thankfully pest free now. 🤞
I’ve found that you tend to get a few nodes producing leaves like this at once. The trunk of my jade has been looking pretty bare for the last two years but I’ve moved it into a sunnier spot and suddenly I’ve got growth from about 10 nodes where leaves have fallen off in the past
Any tips on how I can stop my main stem of my jade from bending,I turn it occasionally to try and prevent this problem but it keeps wanting to bend, its health otherwise , I had it staked for a month and it straightened up but it reverted to its original way after a month or so. It’s not curling up , more on a slant bent
Ok, thanks for the info, if I prune will that help the main stem be able to hold more weight in the future? my main stem is pretty thick, but your jade main stem is significantly thicker them my jades.
Hi Jeff, don't think I can grow any type of Jade plant, because I only have a North facing window. Unless I use supplemental grow lights. What do you think?
I used the keiki paste on my 3 different types of Jade plants and boy did it work!!! My variegated Jade busted out new growth at every single spot where I put it. Too bad I can’t post photos here!
Oh wow.... Very interesting. Did you make a little cut in the stem and then place the paste? You could send a picture to my Instagram
What is Keiki paste and where do I buy it?
@@sandramoss8726Amazon. And it’s like hormone paste. Cytokinin and something else
Hi Jeff… love your Jade plants. I have one right now and will plan on pruning it soon. But my concern is, I always get mealy bugs on my jade plants. What do you do or use to avoid it? Thanks, Jeff
I do love your Jade videos. They’re so educationally brutal!
Thanks so much!!!!
That last cutting you showed would look great for bonsai. I think I might give it a go when I prune mine. Love your jade videos!
You should!
Perfect timing!
Happy pruining!

Thanks, excellent video! Is this the way to prune other Jade variants too, like Jade Gollum for example?
magnificent mother plant Jade there in the background ❤
@@not2nigh1 thanks!
I love being able to watch your jade's growth, Thank you for sharing

Oh...I'm so good to hear. That's why I make these videos. Thanks for this comment!
Thank you for the good advice!
My pleasure!
Your video is a tutorial on how to prune a bonsai! ❤
Haha. Pretty much.... just showing how to shape a jade plant
Can jade be bonsai?
I also take off any leaves on the stem below or at a branch point.
This is so helpful, thank you! I need to prune mine but I wasn't sure how. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
You gave me the confidence to cut my big old tree, and boy did I have a mess to trim away.
I'd love to see a before and after picture of you have them. Send it to my IG account if you do
Hello what if the leaves are flat ? What can I do
Hi Jeff - Your inspiring me to get my Jades out again and get a video done - Keep up the good work im loving everyone of these videos!!
How many jade bonsai do you have?
@@EverythingPlants It was well over a hundred but ive recently given a lot away for a charitable cause. I now have about 10 left that im going to start growing again, i will do a video over the next couple of days.

Awesome pruning tips Jeff!
Thanks! 👍
I don’t have a jade but I’m thinking of getting one do watching this is very helpful. I just sort of whack things off. Then it looks awful.
Haha. You should definitely give a jade plant a try
Hey great video. I was wondering how you deal with scale, I see a spot syarting to develop on mine. Thank you for sharing
I've only had scale on one plant and it was very bad.... I threw it out. Haven't had any issues since
Do you cut each large branch as a separate entity? Or cut the plant as a hold.
Will it grow from any area that is brown already?
Great video as usual Jeff 👌🏽
Thanks 👍

It's probably top heavy and you can prune or simply remove some leaves

Hi Jeff, don't think I can grow any type of Jade plant, because I only have a North facing window. Unless I use supplemental grow lights. What do you think?
If you have a grow light, it would do awesome! I really like sansi lights for their affordability and quality!
@@EverythingPlants gotta try one out. It would probably improve overall plant growth. I imagine . Thanks for the info. 🌿🌱🍄🍁🌼💐🌺
@@Adele-i7p I'll be tossing my out for the summer as well!
@@EverythingPlants Jeff, your going to grow it outside (Jade plant) for the summer. Awesome.
@@Adele-i7p I haven't put them outside in a few years so this summer I will
Can they tolerate direct sun?
Does anyone know why my Jade plant stem is still green and it's like 6 years old? Why doesn't it look like a tree?
It's probably not receiving enough light and not maturing. Feel free to send a picture to my IG account if you want me to have a look
