OrchidBob said:Here is my attempt at a Bonsai Jade.
I have never pruned this plant. It has just remained small for its type.
So I chose to pot it in a bonsai type planter.
It has been in this pot for several years and in total it is probably 5-7 years old.

I have another cutting which looks like it will make a good bonsai.
This cutting is already 3 years old and has stayed small.
All its siblings are two feet tall in gallon pots.

I have no idea why these two plants decided to grow smaller.
They have a great root system and have received the same culture as my other plants.
Thinking

Wow, such a beautiful plant, I really hope I can have a 1 feet jade plant, especially jade gollum / hobbit like yours Thumbs up
If they look healthy, do nothing
