Whatever Happened To Baby Jade Bonsai?
from:Jade bonsai is also known as baby jade bonsai, which is actually a more sensible name. The art of bonsai begins when the trees are still saplings. You prevent them from growing to their full height with careful pruning and shaping. Your goal is to keep the tree from growing too big. You can't get them to shrink. Other names for the baby jade bonsai include Small Leaf Jade and Elephant Plant.
Great For Beginners
Bonsai trees are high maintenance plants. They often require daily attention, like a pet. But not the baby jade bonsai. They can often go for long periods without water, because they are succulent plants. This doesn't mean that they taste good – rather, that they can store water in their trunks. This makes them a bit more forgiving than some other species of bonsai trees.
Baby jade bonsai is also a fast grower, so you need to prune and shape more often than some other tree species. The art of bonsai, like any other skill, takes a lot of practice in order to be good at it. It's hard to get that practice if you don’t have many chances to prune and shape a slow growing bonsai. But baby jade bonsai is sure to give you the needed practice.
Basic Care
You need to keep your baby jade bonsai in warm conditions, preferably not letting the temperature dip below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. They can be moved around a room in order to catch the sun. If you where you live gets cold winters, you need to keep your baby jade bonsai indoors. This plant is a tropical species and never gets winter in the wild.
Whenever you water your baby jade bonsai, only pour in enough water until the soil is moist. Let the soil completely dry between waterings. Over watering can be just as dangerous as not watering in the long run.
You'll have to repot your baby jade bonsai about every two years. You will have to trim the roots at this time, as well. Bonsai experts recommend it is best to repot in the early spring. Let the soil dry and leave in a shady spot until leaves or twigs start growing. Then you can resume your normal watering schedule.
More often, you'll be pruning your jade bonsai. This not only keeps the tree small and helps it to live longer, but it aids to the overall look you want to create. Decide on a shape you want the bonsai to either take on or keep. Then pinch off any new growth that does not keep to this ideal with your fingers.
