Your previous thread comments led me to go to Google Images to look for 'jade bonsai'. They were there and those led me to watch a couple of YouTube videos, though the two I watched were using Portulacaria instead of a jade. What kind of wire do they use for training? Does it have to be taken off and redone regularly? Looks like it would strangle the stem as the plant grows unless the wires are flexible and will expand somehow.
Looking forward to seeing the plants you've done. At least one of the videos cut a huge plant back leaving only about half a dozen leaves. Scraped away a lot of upper roots, too, to expose the upper part of the root system. Unfortunately it didn't show how the plant looked a year or so later after the operation took place.
