It''s beautiful already. I have a fascination for tiny trees with nice trunks like yours. it seems to fit the pot well but will it need to be repotted soon?@Clorgian ,
almost all plants down here are from seed [ pot is home-made ]
Good Day

I've had a jade crassula bonsai tree in the house for ten years and put a piece in our succulent garden earlier this year and the trunk is that big already. I'm getting ready to chop the trunk and then wait a bit and plant it in a bonsai pot. The leaves have stayed small on the bonsai tree and I'm hoping they'll stay small after I chop the new trunk. I planted a small jade forest in a pot too with cuttings and they're coming along. Funny thing is I don't even like like jade bonsai trees. Oh well.I was gifted this jade 15 years ago- from my sister in-law.
Like many, I just left it inside for that time.
it got leggy of course, and did get pretty butchered 3 yrs back. In accordance with my new love for plants and bonsai. also used most of the cuttings for a jade forest.
Really wish I had a photo of when I got it.
I can’t even remember what it looked like back then.
The last couple of years I’ve given it care, and it is just starting to look pleasing to me.

Looking forward to seeing your jade pre and post chop!I've had a jade crassula bonsai tree in the house for ten years and put a piece in our succulent garden earlier this year and the trunk is that big already.

I like this tree quite a lot. We have a lot of huge bougainvillea plants at home, the kind that get so huge they grow far higher than the house. My husband has had to prop branches with 4x4's and has switched to giant bamboo stalks. I'd stuck a branch of it in a large round planter (it used to be a fountain) that we grow succulents in. A few days ago I saw it and said, "What is this? " I pulled it out of the ground. My husband said, "That's bougainvillea". I'd forgotten I'd done it. I didn't use root hormone...just stuck it in the dirt and it rooted and had buds on it. Guess I'll have a bougainvillea starter but I really like these little ones.
Did you buy a container of it from a nursery and take cuttings? It seems to be in all the nurseries around Florida. I like the way you styled the pair of them. But I wondered if they come from cuttings you made?Cuphea Hyssopifolia (they flower here all year round), one of my most beloved species for bonsai (I have a total of 6)

Great find. I love birches. I've always wanted to get a Weeping Birch bonsai. I never find any seedlings near any, though plenty of seeds. I've done some air-layering, so maybe...View attachment 392894
This one might be my favorite tree I collected this year. It was growing along train tracks and a larger birch had fallen on it. It has two root masses, the original one and another where the larger birch pinned it to the ground. The top was already dead when I found it. Had a rough life along the tracks.
Coffee cup for scale.
