Hi Nigel. Thank you for the steady stream of helpful information. For the longest time I thought I was the only person in Southern Ontario who loved Bonsai. My girlfriend and I live in Burlington. We would love to have a "Nigel original". Thanks for making the kind offer to your viewers.
Those gollum jades are so fancy! Really love the leaf structure. Nicely pruned, i can already see, in my minds eye, how they look after a few months 😊 The moss planting is gorgeous 💚💚
Hi Nigel this is my first time seeing your channel. I really enjoyed watching your lesson, you have a lovely presentation style. I shall look forward to learning more from you. Cheers
Just saw the Lithops update, they're coming along really nicely for you, I think you'll enjoy them when they really mature and start to clump and flower.
Hi Nigel, the rock and moss looks so beautiful. I am in cambodia when ever I see a root over temple in Angkorwat I thought about you alot. The trees there amazed us alot .you should go and visit cambodia when you get a chance. I took alots of pictures of trees and the four faces Buddha.( the one you made is not so bad compare to the original Buddha face .The ribbon tree roots ,areal roots are really awesome and very old 😀
Minute 26:05 This proves that Nigel has the smallest! An entry in the Guinness Book of Records is due. I doubt that anyone has a smaller forest than he does.
Time to get your plant room done so that all you have to do is move it in. You are right. Fall closing in. Finish the inside and insulate and paint background white to reflex light and done and ready for trees. Now that would be a nice video. Nigel you are the Norm Abrams of Canada.
Hello Nigel! It's so great to find another jade enthusiast who loves to convert them into a bonsai style. I live about 3 1/2 hours away however find myself in the Buffalo area often enough that'd I've love to visit your garden and greenhouses. You mentioned in your July 2022 Jade pruning segment about giving your clippings to anyone willing to travel. If you haven't found new homes for them could we arrange to meet up? I've always wanted to have a Crassula Ovata and the Gollum Jade however I just can't afford them. The jades I have now are because my neighbor tossed all the limbs from his 50 year jade unto the lawn clipping pile we share, and I rescued them! I just found 5 more recent tosses an increbdile lucky find again, however just have one specie and would love to expand. I'd love to share photos of what I have manipulated so far and truly hope we can meet up in the next month or two! Sincerely Sonja
the whole "cant ship out of country" thing stinks! i have wanted a nigel cutting for ever! also i would love a peter chan/ herons tree too! i did get my self a frank yee cork bark tho. its one of my nicest port afras. even that was hard to get here on the east coast US. being that frank yee doesnt sell online. only sells at his shop. jason at eastern leaf has franks trees tho. wiggerts too has awesome jades and ports. the bonsai supply too. thanks for sharing as always nigel! happy bonsai' ing every one!
Hi Nigel, it is Eric (not the one from the previous video haha) from the first tiger bark ficus workshop as well. I also spoke to you at the TBS show and sale this past spring. I am in the area and would love to have that cutting off Connor's jade. Please let me know how I could arrange picking it up! Fingers crossed it is still available haha
@@TheBonsaiZone Hi Nigel, I live in Stockbridge, Michigan, a small farming town outside Ann Arbor. I just love watching your videos. I wish I could prune my plants back like you do but its intimidating. Yesterday I cut my ficus bonsai back after watching your video. It really needed to be cut back, I hope I didn't wait to long to take care of it.
All looking great Nigel! If that parcel comes (which I'm not hopeful anymore, it's approaching 5 weeks since I sent it) you would have had a new species of succulent. Maybe I'll try my luck again soon and send another cutting of it. In the mean time, just keep at it! - Ashley Bonner
Nigel, you seem a little sad. Is it because winter is coming? Please take a break if you need it, man. You’re a legend for a lot of bonsai enthusiasts. Don’t burn out.
Another great video.. man what I would do to get one of those cutting... about 3.5 hour drive let me know if no one else comes if love to and exp meet you im a huge fan🙏
I can't take such fast decision, as I'm always thinking "it might be the other way". So i go around my bonsai (and my garden trees as well) with a piece of chalk and make marks. Takes longer, much longer, before i make some cuts.
Succulent Sunday on Friday? Is it the zombie apocalypse? What happened to Ficus Friday? LOL Like the forest, but don't you think that large fat trunked jade looks unusual in the forest setting? The others might look good in a smaller, less deep pot together as a shohin bonsai forest. Love that moss growing in a pot - beautiful!
Hi Nigel - Nice video! - I’d be interested in coming out for a Jade cutting, if you still have a decent sized one left. I no longer have an outdoor space, so I’m concentrating on indoor plants and a few select Bonsai. Let me know when would be a good time for you - my time is mostly wide open. I’d be heading out from Hamilton, but would enjoy a nice drive through the country - Nancy
Awesome! I wonder if I could drive down there and still get back on time for work next week.... and survive the 14 hour work shift Haha! I do love Jades. I have been looking for Gollum jade. Another hard to find plant, but likely only because I am looking for one...🧐🤓
Ciao Nigel, your videos are Amazing!!! I Need some info about pruning my Gollum. I know that with Jade plant, I can cut above 2 leaves and then other 2 Buds Will grow. What about Gollum? Have you some video? Can you explain in a new One? Thanks!
Hi, I would love a cutting. I know you said it would be pick up, but would you ship (i would pay) to London Ontario? Great video and thank you for all the information.
I always have this same idea in the back of my head, but every year I decide not to prune my jade. Now I can see how yours are responding to this type of pruning
@@thome4229 Im aware of that, I prune my jades twice a year. But this time my plan is to prune the main stem very low to make that baobab style jade and root the remaining part as a new tree and do some hard pruning on that as well but i'm afraid i will not be pleased with the results, because regular jade will get only 2 new shoots at the top which will not look as good as the bushy gollum jade shoots on Nigels small baobab style jade
@@Rblock777 Try poking small holes in the places where you would like to have a new branch. Maybe something will sprout there. With some plants this works.
Nigel - I have some exposed roots from wear on one side of my Jade- the whole thing is tilting because of the weight- can I bury in soil that exposed but on the trunk?
jades are tough to train as Bonsai. I would caution beginners, because ramification will take some time. Maybe try a Portulacaria afra(common name: baby jade) instead.

Inspiring, Nigel. Have to watch this again, with the Jade before me. Thanks
Everyone loves a beautiful Jade👍
Love your succulent Sundays…your jades are gorgeous…and that moss forest is just wonderful… real big smiles all around
That moss piece looks wonderful.
Hi Nigel. Thank you for the steady stream of helpful information. For the longest time I thought I was the only person in Southern Ontario who loved Bonsai. My girlfriend and I live in Burlington. We would love to have a "Nigel original". Thanks for making the kind offer to your viewers.
If I'm not that far, would love a good cutting. Such robust cutting, no idea when I can grow one myself.tks anyway.
You thought you were the only bonsai enthusiast in southern Ontario? You must be a lunatic.
That companion planting is amazing! Imagine it with a light fog! So beautiful!
Nigel you must love the jade plants a lot, even your hair is styled like one.😂😂
Tremendous joy watching your videos. But I have to remind myself to breath every time you say, "here I go"....😳
😁
Hi Nigel I love watching succulent Sundays! Can't wait to see the new growth :D
Love the Moss & Rocks @ the end!
Love your incite, keep loving and nurturing life brother.
That moss looks amazing!
Thanks Nigel. My niece will pickup the cutting in near future.
Those gollum jades are so fancy! Really love the leaf structure. Nicely pruned, i can already see, in my minds eye, how they look after a few months 😊

Welcome! Thanks so much Mark, more succulent videos will be coming!
Thank you, this is an excellent "learning: video on how to cut one back and care for it.
omg i wish I lived near you.... i'd be there in a heartbeat gorgeous plants
Just saw the Lithops update, they're coming along really nicely for you, I think you'll enjoy them when they really mature and start to clump and flower.
Really helpful regarding the succulents! I love your hair. You are like the wizard of bonsai!
I have space for a cutting like that. I love Your videos and they help me learn techniques with pruning

Ur smallest forest is really awesome👍👏
OO Nice bonsai..like you wa bonsai... good... 👍👍❤️👌

It's a beautiful kind of jade bonsai

That country is on my bucket list.

I doubt that anyone has a smaller forest than he does.
Totally agree hahaha
i really want this cutting i dream about this kind of cut until i see your video! i have jade but there are really smaller :O
Nigel king of the baobab style 😎
I would love to make the trip to the area! We don’t have many bonsai stores in Sudbury😄
Thanks Nigel for helpful information. Amazing. Watching from Philippines.
Argh, I missed the stream! Looking good anyhow, even without my real-time questions :)))
They look amazing 👏
Thank you for your explanation, I'm recommended for a cutting of your plants.
Time to get your plant room done so that all you have to do is move it in. You are right. Fall closing in. Finish the inside and insulate and paint background white to reflex light and done and ready for trees. Now that would be a nice video. Nigel you are the Norm Abrams of Canada.
Your trees look so healthy! I love that little Baobab style Gollum Jade, defenately looks better shorter!
I think Aeonium have wonderful succulent bonsai potential, I have a really nice 4-year-old one myself
I think so too!
I'd love to see a 2023 update on this tree. ❤❤

Greetings from Pensacola 🦩 New to your channel - I love how you have an eye on what your pruning does. Thanks for sharing!
Succulents and tropical are not so much my thing but these always look very impressive 👍
Perhaps I could be persuaded…
Hi Nigel great video love that moss Forrest a there a video of that
I am one of your fans and love to watch you care for your jade plants.. I would love to have some cuttings from your jade plants if you have some.
What area are you in Karen?

I would really love to have one of your cuttings, but it will take me a while to get to you by bike from Germany.😉😂
I'm sure they are gone already...But next time if you ever get more beefy cuttings I would love them!!!😊
All looking great Nigel! If that parcel comes (which I'm not hopeful anymore, it's approaching 5 weeks since I sent it) you would have had a new species of succulent. Maybe I'll try my luck again soon and send another cutting of it. In the mean time, just keep at it!

Hi Nigel. New fan here.
Is there an update on these?
Also thanks for your videos. You are giving a lot to this world.
I would be happy to pay shipping for one of these cuttings. Let me know. I have enjoyed learning from your channel. I'm a fan of succulents.

Hey Nigel, sure I am super late but would be ecstatic if any cuttings are left
OKAY FRANKINSTINE😆😆😆😆😆😆LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Do the jades do well being pruned in the summer? Or do they not like being pruned in the winter? Great video and I love growing jades!
I can't take such fast decision, as I'm always thinking "it might be the other way". So i go around my bonsai (and my garden trees as well) with a piece of chalk and make marks. Takes longer, much longer, before i make some cuts.
In what kind of soil are your jade plants?
Succulent Sunday on Friday? Is it the zombie apocalypse? What happened to Ficus Friday? LOL Like the forest, but don't you think that large fat trunked jade looks unusual in the forest setting?

Hallo super super😊 wann gießt du die alten Pflanzen mal ? Danke
I'd be interested in the cutting :)

My son is heading up to Thunder Bay Aug 17th, I'll pack a cutting with him! I'll let you know when he gets there and where to pick it up.
@@TheBonsaiZone No Way!! 😀 For sure?! OOOooooOOOoooOOO!!!❤ Thank you both!
@@marysoldeeley2218 I'll let you know where and when to pick it up!
Nigel, do the leaves on a jade turn into branches?
If pruned back to the leaves, they do!
Also why don't I live in Canada :( I'd love some more jades
When you hard prune this jade does that help to thicken the trunk?
Ciao Nigel, your videos are Amazing!!!
I Need some info about pruning my Gollum.
I know that with Jade plant, I can cut above 2 leaves and then other 2 Buds Will grow.
What about Gollum? Have you some video?
Can you explain in a new One?
Thanks!
your inspiring me to trim my jade, thanks.....need to trim your head did you lose your comb??? lol..
Awesome, just keep your Jade on the dry side until it recovers from the pruning! Never heard of this thing you talk about, a comb?
how did you do the moss planting that has the mountains ? really beautiful! thank you for the informative video! Keep up the good work
Quick question! Do you have any videos/can do any videos for Black Olive Bonsai please :) !!
Hi, I would love a cutting. I know you said it would be pick up, but would you ship (i would pay) to London Ontario? Great video and thank you for all the information.
when is the best time to prune those jades ?
What is the best heater for a 8-8 greenhouse that doesn’t cost a lot of money.
Hi Nigel, how often do you water the lithops?
How high does the temperature go at ur place. Environment and temperature is crucial for maintaining plants. Kindly elaborate.
I hate it when my leaves draw my soil out of my water.
Lol, reversed the words there!!
Thank you.. How much often watering your crassula ?
In the middle of summer, I water it daily, in winter only once every few weeks!
@@TheBonsaiZone thank you very much
Hi Nigel. Do you do a different watering for those from other plants?
I always have this same idea in the back of my head, but every year I decide not to prune my jade.
Now I can see how yours are responding to this type of pruning
You can cut Jades on every position you like - they will get new shoots! No fear.

Hey how do you propogate them I can’t get it to root
Wait for a few days until they are dried out. Then plant in well draining soil. Don't water for the first two or theee weeks.
@@agatajabonska8560 thanks😃

They have all been taken, sorry Rohit!
What's the name of that moss/accent plant?
