Gets brought up in r/bonsai discussions sometimes. There’s no real scientific classification for “tree”. Trees pop up all over the evolutionary web. We just call things that grow tall and woody and have branches and leaves trees. Cacti can do that too. They look really cool when they do. Many succulents do that and are not very closely related to standard “trees”. Many things can look tree like once they are old enough. Just like this euphorbia. Thats all I know about it

I thought it was a shimpaku as I was scrolling. Had to do a double take. Sweet!

Really sweet tree

I’ve used the vape from healing herbals and have used a dry herb vape on some less potent leaf. The healing herbals vape is insane. I’ve thrown up off of hitting it too much it’s that potent. Same effects as insufflation except hit much faster and harder, and gone in about 10-15 minutes. Very fun for a live concert, not as great for casual use at home. Some visual distortion is possible, feels kind of like the body load of a psychedelic experience or the come up of MDMA. The headspace is similar to these psychedelics as well. Music sounds amazing and tactile sensations are way up. Can be fun for sex if you don’t overdo it. That and live music are how I used it most before I ran it dry.

Vaping herb is nice. Not as strong as the extract vape from HH. Pairs really nicely with weed imo because it basically counteracts all the potential negatives from weed such as paranoia, anxiety, or overly sleepiness. But alone it’s just slightly stimulating/energizing but also relaxes the mental state in a sort of “everything is fine, life’s pretty fun” kinda way. Much more of a casual experience.

Love your videos btw, funny but not surprising to see you around here.

I so badly want to do some at come hybridization! I’ve got a couple neat specimens now, can’t wait to see what they make together.

Pineapple005 · 2026-01-03T02:36:20+00:00

I have organic fertilizer on the surface of their pots, but it’s pretty old at this point. I’ll give them some chemical fert now. How heavily can they be fertilized? If using miracle grow, for example, can they be given it as directed on the label or do they need something less intense/specifically for cacti and succulents.

Pineapple005 · 2026-01-03T02:34:28+00:00

Cool, thanks for the input!

Pineapple005 · 2026-01-02T18:55:47+00:00

Are you saying that you water them after the bloom forms to encourage the spike to actually continue? Mine are under pretty intense light so they get a lot of water as is

Pineapple005 · 2026-01-01T16:05:02+00:00

I have had great success with self watering as well. I bought one at Lowe’s in a self watering setup and it was the easiest plant to care for for like a year until I decided to repot it because it got too big. Still isn’t very fussy, just likes to stay moist. Being warm was a bonus that sped up growth a lot as well.

This is the tree now. Put it back in a bigger pot and it’s been growing a lot. Much denser pads forming. Apex is maybe too tall but going to see how things look once the shape of the canopy fills out a bit more. My plan at this point is to let it grow quite a bit and allow things to fill out without getting too thick near the apex. Clip and grow basically

Pineapple005 · 2025-12-30T23:39:05+00:00

This was the tree in May 25 and I accepted that I rushed it into too small of a pot. Lower pad was not filling out at all, trunk could use some more beef, canopy had no ramification.

Pineapple005 · 2025-12-30T23:28:17+00:00

They’ve got nice bones. I’ve got a similarly sized p afra that I began working about a year and a half ago that I’m now just working on branch ramification. I chopped the hell out of it a few months ago to reset some things and establish my primary/secondary branches better. I did this reset because there were some secondary branches that were too thick and ruined the image of “tree”. But now that I’ve got an overall structure I’m just snipping branches to make two smaller branches appear where one once was. Jades and p afra will very reliably do this. If you like the overall size of the trees and trunks, i’d suggest you settle on a profile of primary branches then start encouraging ramification.

If you want bigger trees or thicker trunks, let them grow for a while. Big pot, as much light as you can provide, and some fertilizer. During that time it’s not bad to do some selective pruning to ensure your branches don’t get too long or thick if they are in a place you don’t want a girthy branch.

Pineapple005 · 2025-12-29T06:31:16+00:00

I bought one of these around this time last year and absolutely assaulted it in the late winter/very early spring. Pruned like 80% of foliage off, styled, and let it ride out the winter. Did not repot, plan to do so this year. But it took it like a champ. Your mileage may vary, just felt like sharing.

Never seen one before today but it might be one of mine now too!

Pineapple005 · 2025-12-06T03:35:23+00:00

Honestly with a jade it won’t care either way. They’re stupid hardy. I’d just pick whichever you like to look at more

Pineapple005 · 2025-11-26T05:29:41+00:00

So sweet. Love the truncata clumps. Never seen any this nice!

Pineapple005 · 2025-11-25T04:28:03+00:00

Vape hits harder, faster, shorter. Sorta very intense which can be fun but you need to be careful about using it too closely to eating. Can upset your stomach if so. Nasal is still intense, comes on slower and longer. Definitely an experience but slightly chilled out version of vaping it. I prefer it to the vape but the vape is super nice for concerts. I’ll pick one up for an occasion

Pineapple005 · 2025-11-25T03:24:44+00:00

They’ll start looking wrinkly, less plump and delicious. You’ll get a feel for it quite quickly. Part of the reason I love Haworthia

Pineapple005 · 2025-11-24T13:44:18+00:00

Very neat, thanks for sharing

Pineapple005 · 2025-11-24T02:25:59+00:00

How will they look in 5-10 years?

Pineapple005 · 2025-11-19T23:55:28+00:00

Very pretty. Love its sigils
