Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this video!! It was breaking my heart to cut back my 2 stem Jade plant to the bark but after seeing your video it encouraged me so much that I cut mine back! It was so encouraging that if you where willing to risk a 20 year old tree I could take a risk with my tiny little plant!☺️
Mine is only two and a half years old and looks big, strong and full of leaves, with two thick central trunks. I've never pruned it. It gets morning sunlight and is very healthy!
Greetings from England! Thankyou for posting your hard pruned Jade Plant after 7 months. I pruned my old plant, a week ago, and I have set some of the leaves, which are now producing tine Jade Plants.
I can't imagine pruning such a magnificent plant back to a stump! I really don't understand why you trimmed the roots. Could use some explanation. This seems brutal. Like, it will take five years for it to look normal again.
Amazing how different growth gets in different environment. I got a 30 year old Jade plant and it about as thick as this but healthy (partly due to that i was not repotted for a good 15 years or so lol) but also our long dark winters in Sweden. Has to be indoors most of time too. Umm by the way, maybe you should invest in a better knife with longer blade, looks dangerous too 😉😊
It's always so funny to me how many specialized tools/equipment people use for bonsai. Special soil, special scoops, special mesh for the bottom of pots.....POTS, a special poker to help settle the special rocks/soil. Special knives, clippers, concave cutters...the list goes on! Don't be a sucker! There are so many alternatives to not waste your money. 🤑
Please buy a longer bladed knife, ideally a serated one. You mad eme nervous seeing you cutting towards yourself with that blade, once slip and wrists are cut. Great video though.
Mine is 6years old and allmost that big. You have enough light for your plant? And pls take a longer knife, it's better for the plant to just cute once 😊😊
Thanks a lot for this. I have a question for you. after the hard pruning, what is advisable. Exposing the plant to direct summer sunlight or to leave in indoors with minimal / indirect sunlight.
Video molto interessante! Ho sul balcone questa pianta un po' trascurata e mi piacerebbe trasformarla in bonsai. per favore puoi aggiungere delle informazioni come il tipo di terriccio usato, quale filo di ferro usare ed altro... grazie!
Haha poor thing isnt even rootbound after 20 years, than gets deheaded, than cut parts get intensly touched by hands, root pruned and made wet before being repotted, this thing is going to have a hard time growing back if it gets placed in the same spot it stood
@@EatwellFarm you should prune that one new branch so the plant will not continue to grow it and switch to the other one (it always have two "buds"-sometimes a plant just needs to be "told" what to grow. Wait until new pair of leaves show up and then just pinch it with nails or smth. The plant will grow a new branch. And then, when you will decide its time for an old branch to grow again (better if it will be already little lignified-cut it, leaving 4-5 pair of leaves (depends on where you want new branches to grow). And give the tree some good lighting.
@@koulanzegang 1.The name of this chanel is '''Super Bonsai'' and this particular video is about how to make ...bonsai. 2.The bonsai method do not let the plant rich its full potential , as the result of all this abuse i the plants that normaly will be 5meters high become 40 cm. 3.People that stress the plants did not doing this for food or survival but for questionable ..,,,aestetics . 4.Tormenting a living creature just for ...''fun'' is not acceptable ,at least in my ethics.
I think you can plant them to grow the tree further. I will find out, because I just did this with a large jade plant that I cut back heavily, including one big main limb. I put that limb in water with growth enhancer for a few days, and then planted it. So far it seems to be fine. Time will tell!
In the Video, I cut the root because I want to make it small to fit in the pot and also to remove some dead roots out. But you can cut the root again when the roots bound (run out of space for the roots to go).
I have an jade 🌳 , 10 years old. And it looks like an real little tree. If I don't watch it for a week, start to be ugly. How it's possible that this jade tree is steel alive 🤐?... I care of mine too much? 😮
Maybe overwatering? Check the soil. Put your finger in the soil to the first knuckle, if you can't because it's too compact, it needs repotting. If your finger comes out feeling damp, don't water it. If it comes out feeling dry, water it
You will cut the roots only 2 reasons. first, when you want to keep them small as Bonsai Tree then you trim the roots to make it fit in the small pot. second, when the root bound (run out of space for the roots to go) then you trim them to keep the plant survive and continue to grow. Don't worry about cutting Jade plant roots because they are hard to kill, just keep in mind that after you cut the roots, please wait a couple days or a week before give it watering. Hope this help!
I don't think 🤔 you should have cut that Crassula - Jade Plant so severely perhaps a little less of the large cane's length could have been left intact. The Crassula aka the Jade Plant grows so slowly to have one as large and as old as that one deserves a bit of respect and reverence.

Quick question. Is this essential (cinnamon power or candle wax) or can you hard prune without the aforementioned? Building up the courage to chop mine up but want to ensure it doesn't back fire. I am doing research well ahead of time looking to prune early next spring if that is the best time to do so.
