portulacaria afra

Post by JoshuaR »

Hello everyone,
I joined the forum yesterday, it's amazing. So living in Brooklyn one would think I have everything at my fingertips. Well I have been searching for a P.A. For about 3 months.

Well I walked into lowes a couple days ago and found one. Nowhere near ready for bonsai, but here it is

Hi JoshuaR,

I am in a colder climate for some months in year, my previous jades grew like weeds.

I would consider leaving it outside to develop some branches etc before enjoying it inside?

Cheers.

I took another cutting for mame. I know it will take a while.
