[@laxbynature]

I’d love to see more of your gorgeous jade plants 🪴

[@patsydonaldson2773]

Great video your jades are amazing. I’m a novice to jade so I’ll be following to keep myself right. Thank you🌸

[@kaneki260]

My first time to have a Jade plant..am still in the process of caring..then may proceed to propagation pruning then bonsai too.Thank you so much for the video..

[@ScottWinnardLetsdoBonsai]

You are more than welcome, Jades are really great for first trees and Bonsai. Easy care for beginning.

[@jasonbran16]

Would you recommend perlite vermiculite soil mix you used here for a regular pot as well? Can’t find much info on this medium blend anywhere on google. Thanks.

[@ScottWinnardLetsdoBonsai]

I would look to put some clay particles and maybe some compost/soil added

[@jasonbran16]

@@ScottWinnardLetsdoBonsai thanks Scott! Much appreciated!

[@joyjordan4226]

Thanks for a great video. I have a very large potted Hobbit Jade that is really top heavy. I wanted to "bonsai" it and now I know how.

[@LetsDoBonsai]

I love Jades, more Jade videos to come very soon!

[@josieguerra3840]

Wow! Very beautiful Jade plant. I like too.. perfect.

[@johnglaze7882]

Very helpful video! Thank you! The length is worth it. How’s this little guy looking now? I was hoping for a follow up video for it

[@kleabkatra7516]

Hello!! I am so doing that to some of my jades!! I had a jade plant that was a round 10" in diameter when I got it. I had it for about 10 years. It was a 5' round ball when I had it but one year it got super cold out. It used to stay outside until late Fall and then I would bring it inside and use it as a Christmas tree (super cute). When it got too big to bring inside I had no choice but to leave it outside. It survived several years even when it froze out. I lived in a condo so it was on my balcony and I would put a blanket on it and it did just fine until that one really super cold year that it killed it!! 👿😿I cried!! Now I have several that I am going to try semi-hydroponics but I think I bill attempt some Bonsai's. Thank you!!

[@LetsDoBonsai]

Its so sad when we have loved and cared for these trees and we lose them i feel your pain.

Thank you for this video. What is your growing medium consist of?

[@CConn-df7hy]

Image quality is very good. Love your content thanks for sharing

[@granlex]

Great video. Heads up. The jade you sent is doing great.

[@BonsaiJCan]

The forest looks really good! looks like a nice place to have a coffee and enjoy bonsai work with a beautiful morning.

[@BonsaiJCan]

Great here, trying to fit in more bonsai time !

[@sylviahardy4568]

Hello 👋. Question: What soil type did you plant the Jade Plant into?

[@LetsDoBonsai]

Hi Sylvia - this was a 50/50 mix of perlite and clay particles - if i was doing this again it would be 3 parts akadama/perlite/pumice, with a bit of organic thrown in from a bag of "bonsai mix" and some chopped up reptile bark.

[@SovereignShah]

Amazing video. Going to work on my Jade bonsai tomorrow

[@taramarieencabo4738]

Wow! Love your Jade plant..it was my first time taking care Jade plant..I hope I can make this a bonsai on the near future..thank you for sharing Scott..teach me more in caring Jade plant..😍

[@marthasinis2066]

Do Jades bloom?

[@LetsDoBonsai]

Hi yes indeed you get some lovely small white flowers at different times of the year, but you may go periods without them flowering, if they do your doing a good job with them.

[@pauljs75]

That one looks really good given how big it got (thus needing the trim), but shouldn't the pots get turned every so many days if the sun comes from one direction so they don't get overly lopsided?

[@radhaganti1443]

Are they marble chips. 😳 Will it grow well in this soilless , manure less medium in any country’ s weather? Will U add any fertilisers to it , during any season ?

[@LetsDoBonsai]

Perlite and absorbant clay particles 50/50 but i am now switching to more soil - the will grow in gravelly medium they do love it, i will and do fertilise weekly - keep out of the rain if outside.

[@radhaganti1443]

ok, sure . Thank U 🙏

[@LetsDoBonsai]

@@radhaganti1443 no problem best of luck!

[@prataelena4211]

Hi, how do you get these jade grow smaller leaves, as obviously the actual leaves are not in proportion to the trunk and branches, please.

[@LetsDoBonsai]

Birghter lighting will make the leaves smalle for sure. also yo ucould continually remove leaves and they will keep growing back in other areas.

[@keithdouglass3618]

[@maryshoemaker7593]

Great job Scott.. love jades too!! All your jaded look great!!

[@dabblingwithbonsai]

Lovely jades! I also have the problem of not having too much space, but I hate to put the cuttings in a bin, so I give them to friends ^^ Nice work, sir ^^,

[@jarheadbonsai]

Beautiful view. Great video!!! 😎😎😎

[@deandowney9316]

Hi Scott, do should you always prune to 2 nodes?

[@LetsDoBonsai]

Hi Dean, you can prune as tall or short as you like, just prune above thenode you want to keep as it will shrivel up and die back to that node

[@grobonsai]

Wow they are in rude health! Do you mind me asking about your fertiliser regime?

[@ltudose]

What kind of soil you have selected? Before it looked like normal soil, but after change only sand and stones?

[@LetsDoBonsai]

The original soil was plain potting dirt, this mix was 50% perlite and 50% turface type absorabant material - we have now settled on 50% Perlite mixed with 50% potting mix, which seems to work best for me.

[@ltudose]

@@LetsDoBonsai Thank you, that it helps, I would need to do a similar job :) with my plant.

[@BackGardenBonsai]

I’m a huge an of jades. Looks like you’ve got enough cuttings for a few more forests. 👍

[@240Sil]

@@LetsDoBonsai I'm sure you'll built your collection at a good pace. Especially with all the recent inspiration. I'm already looking forward to next growing season!

[@265petsar]

Nice on a sunny day, but you have the wrong type of jade for Bonsai. Get yourself the small leave CorkJade which grows very quickly and can be turned into any style you want, and looks beautiful.

[@LetsDoBonsai]

Thanks for the tips! I do have the protulacariaafra as well for the better small leaf.

[@srikantholety8514]

How often do you water it?? Have u kept it outdoor or indoor??

[@mesutcelik2779]

what kind of soil do you use, only gravel and sand?

[@WhidbeyIsguy]

Scott, I just found your channel and the first video I came across was this one on Jaded here. I like working with Jades. I have not looked at any other of your videos yet but will as the day goes on, but do you have a video on you mixing your soil up. Or how you put your soil together.

[@caroltitus3341]

I love it what kind of rake is that thanks 😊

[@caroltitus3341]

Scott Winnard thanks so much I just got a jada plant from a friend of mine and it’s getting so top heavy you have showed me how to start more plants thank you so much I loved watching you have a blessed day

[@Josef_R]

It appears to be thriving in real soil, why do you think it needs "bonsai soil" to make it thrive?

[@LetsDoBonsai]

I can see why you would ask that, the repot would mean that it was going to be repotted into "bonsai soil" and i was hoping it would continue to do well and progress in the new airier soil, rather than the potting soil soil it had been in.

[@Josef_R]

@@LetsDoBonsai Do you not know? It's been a year and a half now. My guess is you now have to water it more often since the water runs straight through and the plant gets about half a second to drink.

[@LetsDoBonsai]

@@Josef_R sorry my answer was a bit cryptic as i was only referring to what i was saying in the last video, i will be doing an update on this and some other Jade trees very soon, but i am happy to report that it is in good shape although yes it does need watering more often due to the drainage your quite right, but i do give it plenty of water and feed and sometimes water in a container so it has plenty of time to take it up.

[@Josef_R]

@@LetsDoBonsai Thanks. I'm trying to sift through all the nonsense that you get with people thinking there's a right way to do something, without considering why they're doing it. Potted plants seem to grow fine in real soil everywhere but in the bonsai community. There people seem to want to be doing something "mystical" or "zen" so then can call themselves purists when it does absolutely nothing particularly better than established horticulture. I guess the main benefit is to the people selling 2 quarts of gravel for $20.

[@LetsDoBonsai]

@@Josef_R nailed it - for me there is no real right or wrong way apart from what the tree/plant wants for some of my trees i have reverted back to standard soil as the "bonsai soil" just didnt suit, you can find yourself getting caught up in the "rules" of Bonsai but for me they are more of a guideline and i will do what works for me and what i enjoy and how i enjoy the tree/plants and i would encourage everyone else to do the same. If its not broken then dont fixit.

[@margaretsims4344]

Nice job. I think I would have put a wire through the bottom of the pot to hold the Jade in position until it’s more established. Is it just perlite?

[@margaretsims4344]

What brand absorbent particles do you use (just so I know what to look for)!

[@bartellkeithley5171]

Thank you...very informative

[@DJRobbeGer]

Hi I have a jade cutting, the trunk is still all green, how long does it take to turn to brown. :-)

@@LetsDoBonsai Thx for your answer. So i just have to wait a little longer =)

[@veronicajones608]

Fascinating! Thank you

[@lindat3978]

Scott, if my jade needs both trimming and to be repotted is it safe to do at the same time? I don't want to shock the little guy! Thanks!

[@K1LD3R]

[@petersawyer8044]

Hi Scott, like you I live in the UK and have never had any luck over-wintering Jade plants. Do you have any advice on bringing through our dark, dank winters?

[@LetsDoBonsai]

just looking back na dthis wuestion had no reply, i always try to respond to all questions, i found that keeping them indoors or a heated green house and away from chilly window cills helps them through the winter no problem.

[@ofthedawn]

Tie them together so they'll fuse and make a huge trunk.

[@jonathanaristone2468]

Thanks Scott... I have a big Jade needing re-potting before I bring it in for the winter from the bench. Snow is coming soon in Canada
