Dwarf Jade
The Dwarf Jade is our top pick for those new to bonsai care and cultivation. This small but mighty bonsai tree is known for its forgiving nature and slow growth rate, allowing you to learn the art of pruning and shaping at your own pace.
The Dwarf Jade features small, round, fleshy leaves. Enjoy your mini bonsai masterpiece on a desk, table, or windowsill for a unique accent to your indoor space or acclimate your plant outdoors as a conversation piece for your garden.
Bonsai take weeks to acclimate and may shed 20% of the foliage. Place your Bonsai in sunny areas near southeast or west-facing windows. They flourish outdoors on the patio/deck with morning sun and afternoon shade. Bring your Bonsai back indoors when night temps fall below 55 degrees.
Water: Water every 2-3 days. Use ice cubes or a watering can with a fine spray nozzle to water.
Temperature: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight.
Fertilizer: Fertilize with water-soluble or time-release fertilizers. Inspect regularly for insects and diseases.
