A few years ago a member of the household ordered a variety of succulents, among them two types of Jades. He soon lost interest, but essentially the plants did not seem impressive, were ignored as we weren't around much and when we were, still did not pay attention other than to give them some water. The Portulacaria Afra grew and I developed a recent interest in Bonsai. I recognized I had to remove the several plants that were overgrown and stuck in the dirt of an inappropriate concrete pot. Digging it up was a brutal experience for the Port I am sure. Here's my question: Partially buried was a rather large root, that is quite attractive, so I've left it mostly exposed. Now I'm starting to worry that's a bad move. It's been a week since the move, and it's already sprouting new buds. Is it okay to leave the root exposed?
