[@SuperManning11]

This reminds me of a stone sculptor that looks at a huge stone and sees something extraordinary amidst the ordinary; and then through talent that most of us only dream of, is able to find that element of beauty and bring it to light for the rest of us. Truly a beautiful work of art! Chapeau!

[@WhataPlant]

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🕊️ such msgs are real motivation for me! 🌳😊🙏🏻

Does anyone else get nervous watching such hard pruning? But the end result looks ancient and magically miniature. Otherworldly.

[@chasingthefish9042]

Ports are almost indestructible. Don't like the root base? Cut it off. Don't like the branching? Cut it off. Hard prune zero problems. Only thing they don't like is over watering.

[@WhataPlant]

Thank you so much! 🌳🕊️

[@WhataPlant]

Correct! And over watering solution is well draining soil’ 😊

[@kailash2930]

yes - i find it very difficult to cut away branches - but i think we have to make bold decisions

[@RobleViejo]

That thing got butchered

[@erikm8372]

FYI, this plant is _Portulacaria afra_ aka ‘elephant food’, because it’s edible by animals and people! So, technically it’s not the true “jade plant”, which is _Crassula ovata_ with larger leaves and more forms/cultivars available. And jade is definitely not edible. Sometimes just touching jade can cause skin problems, or any Crassulaceae plant, for that matter, including _Crassula_ or _Kalanchoe_ which seem to be the most sensitive to people’s skin… Both make for good bonsai though.

[@ashlee9046]

❤❤❤

[@Blue2crows]

I thought that’s what it was. Good eye

[@lisettewatkins1344]

Same thought as soon as i saw it

[@Congiary]

I was wondering how it grew so fast!

[@thewindgamer2607]

How do you tell the difference?

[@phenixwars1]

I appreciate that this video took 2 years to make! It came out beautiful and inspires me to learn more about making bonsai. Subscribed 👍🏼👍🏼

[@helenamcginty4920]

Back in 2003 I found a pot bound English beech tree in my late mother's greenhouse. She also had a collection of bonsai dishes. (Like me she often had several 'hobbies' on the go and never concentrated on one.) I still have it with me in my home. It looks lovely especially when its delicate leaves are out. I have a pomegranite as well and a species of cyprus or similar both grown from seed.

[@LaughingInTiny]

This was weird to watch. HUGE appreciation for the bonsai making talent... but also I'm going to need every single one of those cuttings to be turned into new plants...😂

[@GaiaCarney]

@LaughingInTiny 😂 that’s why I have so many jade plants! I just can’t let the trimmings ‘go to waste’

[@michaelhoward487]

This tree is a knockout. Great vision and execution.😮

[@WhataPlant]

Thank you so much! 🌳🕊️

[@shaileshk4486]

This is how i feel about life... if you grow steadily and slowly, the outcome will be lot stronger and better for a long life. And no fierce force can break you, your mind will sustain through the impossible!

[@nekane6168]

I have no words. Simply jawdropping work of art.

[@WhataPlant]

Thank you so much! 😊 For your kind words! 🌳🕊️

[@lyssasletters3232]

What an opportunity to propagate!!! You could have made 1000 new jade plants out of this one plant!

[@lumpyrex007]

can they replant those cut branches?? they will sprout roots?

[@urmila5552]

​@@lumpyrex007 yes

[@leonbrowne2682]

​@lumpyrex007 surprisingly easily. I haven't had a failed attempt

[@JesusLopez-lj4hb]

This is not a jade plant though - it's an elephant bush. They got it wrong >.

[@lindacravens1359]

Thank you! I especially appreciate the photo synopsis at the end, reviewing each phase. I have a 'mangled mess' of small leaf jade, started from 2" cuttings 3 years ago. It has been consistently pinched to encourage a cascade shape (it is in a 14" tall narrow neck clay pot). Getting up my nerve to try to get it OUT of the pot ... but was unsure how to separate it. This video clearly shows the benefit of NOT separating the many trunks .... THANK YOU!

[@sansuoballam]

I just came across this video and am impressed you put diligence and patience to your i may say work of art CONGRATULATIONS!

[@bravobby8773]

I’m amazed the plant survived with such little foliage! I know bonsai is a little bit different but for most houseplants the rule seems to be to not cut more than 1/3 of roots or foliage, I’d about have a heart attack cutting that much! 😅 came out absolutely gorgeous though! High risk and high reward indeed!

[@uN00b]

Totally diff beasts! :D Also, this is an African succulent, so is very rugged and hardy.

[@mattbarnett6902]

These are nearly indestructible. Don't overwater them, and give them as much light as you can. Aside from that, you could cut it off level with the ground and it would put out new leaves in a week.

[@sadoldgit313]

Just because it’s styled like a tree doesn’t mean it is treated like one!

[@DPac9]

These jade plants seem to thrive well with people who keep snipping, cutting, uprooting, basically toying with them who mess with it mercilessly. While some of us just want them to be alive and not die 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@topastro]

Dall'Italia un grande applauso per la tua destrezza, sicurezza, spirito di artista della natura.

[@WhataPlant]

So nice of you, 🕊️ thank you! 🌲

[@kenhunnicutt8536]

Excellent work. I'm usually not a fan of clumpy nebari, but you made this very asthetically appealing. The depth of the pot fits the width of the trunk perfectly.

[@WhataPlant]

Thank you so much! 😊 For your kind words! 🌳🕊️

[@tamewolff]

Beautiful creation! I appreciate each step in video and the picture compilation at the end for a wonderful wrap up 😊

[@sarunakarmi4814]

I am a big fan of larger leaves Jade with less leaves, So I never throw their bits and pieces, But your creativity inspired me so much on these plants. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. A beautiful work of art. 🙏 ❤

[@Michelemsnrn]

You had a plan and you executed your plan beautifully! The end result was amazing.

[@WhataPlant]

Thank you so much! 🌳🕊️

[@user-yl3vf4ho7i]

love the vid, these dwarf jades make excellent Bonsai material... they ramify fast and are mega forgiving, looking forward to seeing updates on this one

[@WhataPlant]

Thank you so much! 🌳 yes they are great! That’s why they are fav too 🕊️😁

[@pratikathawale9880]

That's really very beautiful 🤩🤩🤩

[@JackRyan101]

I am simply jealous. My plant is just one year old. Grown from a cutting. Wonder after how many years will it become like this.

[@ALNizhoni]

This is not a jade plant. This is called Portulacaria Afra. An actual jade plant is a completely different genus. Jade plants are Crassula Ovata. So you need to figure out whether you have an actual jade plant or a plant like the one in the video.

[@Repina547]

Прекрасный результат! Терпение есть главное.

Yes you’re right! 👍🏼 Thank you! 🌳🕊️

I gave away my "overgrown" jade plant. After seeing this video, I realize what i could have made of it, and I'm sorry I didn't take the chance to try this.

[@jkoblivion4175]

It's incredible how a plant can recover after this abuse. Nature is Extraordinary indeed.

[@docolemnsx]

Some plants thrive from being ripped out of the ground and having their limbs torn, then being placed away from their peers 😂 If you want good strawberries you have to abuse them like this every year 😊
