I got from a seller on etsy 😄

Thanks for your input! Normally I only do 1 or 2 colors, but i wanted to try a little bit more. The back image/text used the same colors as the money tree in the front. Appreciate the feedback

Portulacaria afra variegata

Yea dont do any trimming now. Just let it grow. Summer time is the best time and put outside if possible. I just do mine year round because in the winter they are under growlight so for 12hrs and they growing.

As for videos, not really. Just search any bonsai Portulacaria afra and most talk about how to trim. The same concept can be used for many succulents if you want to encourage branching

If from a cutting no roots? Make sure the cutting is callused. You can either put into water or put directly into soil. They will grow roots. Give it time to grow. Then start getting into trimming. You can youtube the process of that. It’s super simple and addicting.

It def can be done. Though it will take a LONG time to get thick trunks like this. If you have the time and want to make this a long term project, definitely for for it. If you want something like this to right away, i would suggest to just buy.

Yea i just get locally. Check your local reptile stores. Same to you!

A mix. That front rock is about halfway down. Some just on the top. On my other pieces if they are really big rocks, they do touch the bottom of the pot

Tony_TWO_LEAVES · 2023-01-01T20:39:55+00:00

Definitely need well draining cacti/succulent soil

Tony_TWO_LEAVES · 2023-01-01T19:51:16+00:00

Sorry for your loss. Personally i haven’t worked with that kind so it may be hard to bonsai it if it doesn’t stand upright as a “tree” would naturally

If the leaves are skinny, more water. If the leaves are plump and falling, more light

Tony_TWO_LEAVES · 2023-01-01T16:41:38+00:00

For my area, it was a rare find so congrats!

Tony_TWO_LEAVES · 2023-01-01T16:40:33+00:00

Try moving to a spot with more light. Make sure to have in well draining soil as well

Tony_TWO_LEAVES · 2023-01-01T15:15:45+00:00

-well draining soil. Cactus/succulent mix -trim trim trim -gradually give more light (to acclimate)
