    Growing Shito Jades

    I picked up a few leaves I found on the floor at home depot last year. The result... baby jades! The two in the clay pots I plan on keeping shito sized. The white pot... I'm either going to do a larger bonsai (group planting) or let them grow as a houseplant. So, how are they looking so far...

    Indoor Bonsai Indirect Light

    Mine's alive, but etiolated (ficus religiosa). 4 year old 7" sapling with two leaves, growing one more right now due to pot change and fertilization. I'll just keep it inside in the winter only. The problem might be my south windows face slightly to the east. They still get great afternoon sun...

    Indoor Bonsai Indirect Light

    Thanks, I'll have to try that with my ficus this winter. I'll be fine with soldering as I have built a few robots before :cool:. However, I don't have a lot of room and a lot of bonsai material as of now. Ideally I would want bonsai material that can grow good in indirect light, such as...

    Indoor Bonsai Indirect Light

    I'm having trouble finding a plant suitable for my growing conditions. I have two south facing windows, one partially blocked by a tree and the other with nothing blocking it. I have been growing a ficus and desert roses almost touching the latter window, but they only have leggy growth...

    How does one start a Shito Bonsai?

    Ah, little jades! I should have mentioned that I'm a bit better with succulents than ficus. I Just potted these year old leaf cuttings yesterday. The one on the right I have already gotten to stand straight up, while the one on the left I think looks a bit better with some curve. I just removed...

    Mame/Shonin Ficus Grown from Seed

    Thanks guys! I have it outside now in full sun, as opposed to inside in a small pot in a south facing window. I will not chop it back.

    Mame/Shonin Ficus Grown from Seed

    Okay, makes sense. Can I cut below the leaves? If so, will the plant grow new shoots or will it die? I was aiming for a little smaller than it is now as the final size. Or is it too late to go that small?

    How does one start a Shito Bonsai?

    I have always liked smaller bonsai. However, I cannot see how they can be grown this small. Please enlighten me. I cannot find any info online.

    Mame/Shonin Ficus Grown from Seed

    Okay, I have a few extra of those. I am watering once a week and am letting it dry thoroughly between watering. Yesterday was watering day. How long should I keep it in a nursery pot for?

    Mame/Shonin Ficus Grown from Seed

    I've been working on this guy for about four years. This is my first serious bonsai project. I started this ficus from seed. I guess now it could be called a pre-bonsai. This winter was rough (as in pretty cloudy) and the ficus only kept a singular leaf. However, now its spring. It is slowly...
