Bonsai can be a challenge to grow and maintain, especially if you are a beginner and know nothing about them. However, it is a particular favorite bonsai well suited for neophytes that is the Jade Bonsai. Also known as Jade leaves little or Elephant Plant, this succulent plant is native to South Africa.
Bonsai Jade Tree develops more rapidly than other types of bonsai. It has a very broad and can log up to 3 to 4 meters in nature. Because it is succulent, which has a large ability to retain water in its thick leaves, branches and trunk, which means you do not need watering often compared with other types.
The beautiful tree is easy to maintain and looks great. While the plant is young, its bark is green, but eventually turns reddish brown to slate gray as it matures. She has succulent leaves with a blue-green color and produces clusters of star shaped flowers purple-pink in autumn. Its thick trunk, thin, and the branches still require attention appropriately adapted. Being a tropical plant, can not tolerate very cold climates. So if you live in a cold area, it is best to keep it inside as a houseplant. Meanwhile, if you are in a warmer place that is sunny, the plant will be better off. You still need to water regularly, but be careful of adding too much water. Remember should keep the soil moist.
As with all bonsai, size, and labor is in your care. Pruning is necessary for further growth stem and leaves reduced in size. Reduce the trunk to encourage new growth from the wound after a week or two. Be sure to tighten the trunk and branches, like the Jade tree is soft and delicate.
Jade Tree is very responsive to the cables and can be shaped into new forms within three to four weeks. Be very careful in wiring as branches can snap if bent too. Because the branches become turgid when full of water, be conservative in watering the plants before lowering the wiring, so the chances of cracking it.
Jade bonsai should also transplant every two years. Done in the spring, it is important to dry the floor thoroughly before transplanting. Then put in a shady place until the new growth. After that, water as usual.
