Creating Miniature Succulent Bonsai

I create five miniature bonsai from a Portulacaria Afra 'Lilliput' plant. I bought the original plant at Walmart for 5 USD, and the pots on Amazon for 15 USD. The 'Lilliput' cultivar is a dwarf variety with small leaves and internodes that is great for small/mini bonsai. Succulents in general are a great option for mini bonsai, as they can tolerate drying out and therefore cultivation in small pots.

Well that's really cool u were able to separate those to get several lil bonsai trees to pot up 👍

Thanks, glad you liked it. If you haven't seen one of Nigel Saunder's (The Bonsai Zone) videos on his mini bonsai (he's got a few videos featuring them now), I highly recommend them. His minis were my inspiration. The book "Miniature Bonsai: The Complete Guide to Super-Mini Bonsai" by Terutoshi Iwai is also great and an inspiration for these.

@@BonsaiNorthwest thanks for the recommendation 👍 I've only seen a couple of his latest videos so I'll have to look for those with the miniature trees

Six weeks ago I did a major trim on my PA and rooted about twenty cuttings. I was thinking about trying to make one look like the 4th tree of yours, a little conifer style. I like 4th tree.

Thanks for watching. I'm glad the 4th tree sparked an idea, I think that's my favorite tree as well. Best of luck to you.
