Bonsai Jade Dwarf Green

Bonsai Jade Dwarf

Bright direct sunlight, water sparingly.

Can be put outdoors in the summer months.

Originally from the dry regions of South Africa, the Dwarf Jade is a fleshy, soft, woody small tree that grows up to 3m (10ft.) It has a thick trunk, but a fine branch structure with thick green oval-shaped succulent leaves.

If your tree is thriving, regular trimming will help keep its shape and encourage healthy growth. Use sharp bonsai shears to remove dead or yellowing leaves and trim back new growth. When new shoots appear, let them grow to 3–4 pairs of leaves, then cut just above the first pair—leaving one pair behind. This method increases leaf density and keeps the plant compact. If you’re not seeing fuller growth, your plant may need more sunlight or water.
