[IBC] Crasulla - Jade - To root prune or not to root prune
I have a large Jade that has been living its life with me in an 8-inch
plastic pot. After a few years of work I've recently considered moving it to an appropriate bonsai pot. As far as size I think the root mass will fit nicely into the appropriate sized bonsai pot, however I am concerned about the depth not being quite shallow enough. My question is about root pruning. I seem to remember a thread on here that basically said do not disturb the root mass of a jade. Any advice on pruning or even fanning out the base of the root mass?? As far as specific jade variety, I don't know. I can say the leaves are a yellowish-green, smaller in size (no more than a dime or nickel in size) with reddish tips, and it does seem to like to grow a little leggy like a vine. Beyond that I don't know. Thanks in advance. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
