The reason I love to work with Jade Plant, is they make great Bonsai in less than a years time. Just compared the below two images, taken at a gap of 1 year. Just Little wiring made all the difference.

Pic of Jade Bonsai few month before it was wired in August 2007.

Bonsai is like a Sunset, with every passing moment the colour changes. It grow form good to better to best. I think making bonsai is like painting a portrait of a beautiful girl, right through her childhood to youth, and right through here transition from a Lover to wife, from Mother, Grandmother. The essence of Bonsai lies in understanding that bonsai is perfect, and yet it needs pruning, wiring every month.

Current Status

I have shifted this plant to a Oval Pot on 19th Sep. With a wire, anchored to the base of the pot, I have wired the main trunk to give uprigth shape. The plant was not watered for last one week, and I don't plant ot water it again for next 1 week, to prevent rot.
