Originating in the dry regions of South Africa, the Dwarf Jade, or ‘Elephant bush’, is a succulent plant, which explains its ability to store water for a long time. Thick, round, vibrant green leaves sit atop fleshy stems and branches, beautifully contrasting against the thick upright trunk. Though jade plants can grow to heights of 10 feet tall in their native habitat, these miniature jade trees are well suited for bonsai and replicate the jade's natural elegance, but on a much smaller scale. Ideal for beginners, Dwarf Jade bonsai trees adapt well to a variety of light conditions and can manage without water for long periods. The jade bonsai is a very undemanding plant, well suited for individuals who travel often or who are prone to forget to water their plants. This small jade bonsai tree will ship in a calming Zen reflections bonsai pot, designed with a standing water pool to reflect the beauty of the tree. Bonsai pots will vary in color and style, so every bonsai plant is unique. Ideally, paired with 11" humidity tray for optimal growth.

OUTDOOR BONSAI
Outdoor bonsai include evergreen varieties like pines and junipers as well as deciduous
varieties like maples and elms. All outdoor bonsai are hardy and require seasonal change. Upon receiving your
bonsai, it is best to acclimate it in a shady area for one week. All outdoor bonsai prefer morning sun and
afternoon shade. Patios, decks and balconies are great areas to display your bonsai during the growing season.
Outdoor bonsai can be displayed indoors, but only for short periods of time. You should never leave your bonsai
inside for more than five days.
WATERING PROPERLY
Watering properly is critical to maintaining a
healthy bonsai! Outdoor bonsai are watered according to the season. Outdoor bonsai should be watered daily in
the spring, summer and fall. In the winter you will not need to water as frequently. However, you should never
let your bonsai’s soil dry out. Water your bonsai properly by using a watering can or hose attachment that has a
fine-spray nozzle. You should thoroughly soak your bonsai’s soil. Water should be running out of the drain
holes. Misting foliage periodically is recommended, but should not be considered watering. General care is also
important to maintaining a beautiful bonsai. Bonsai should be periodically trimmed to keep their miniature
shape. To best understand trimming and wiring techniques, we recommend purchasing an instructional book.
REPOTTING
Your bonsai will need to be repotted every four to five years. It is necessary to repot your
bonsai when its root system becomes pot bound. Repotting outdoor bonsai should be done before new growth appears
during late winter or early spring. Make sure you are using a good bonsai soil when repotting since regular
potting soil will compact and inhibit proper drainage. We recommend waiting at least one growing season before
repotting your bonsai to make sure it is well established.
FERTILIZING
Fertilizing bonsai is required.
Most water-soluble and time-released fertilizers work very well when used as directed. We recommend using
slow-releasing organic fertilizers for more mature specimen bonsai.
INSECTS & DISEASES
Insects and
diseases can attack bonsai just like any other plant. Inspect your bonsai regularly. A brisk spraying of the
trunk and foliage periodically will help keep your tree clean. If any problems appear, most garden centers have
products available for treatment.
WINTER CARE
Outdoor bonsai need to experience winter dormancy and
should remain outdoors in the winter. Nevertheless, the root systems of outdoor bonsai need protection from
extreme winter weather. You should “Heel-In” your bonsai by covering the pot and soil with pine needles or mulch
when temperatures approach freezing. We also recommend protecting your bonsai from extremely cold winds by
placing it against the south side of your house. In areas that have extremely cold winters, bonsai can be
protected in garages, sheds, cold frames or basements. Contact a local bonsai club for more advice.

I'm both happy and disappointed with my purchase. It's a very pretty display however the shape is not what I expected. It's flat on one side. I'm hoping that it will eventually round out but not sure that it will happen in my lifetime.

Bonsai and Customer Service Review
I received my plant quickly and in good condition. However, it was missing the little fisherman. After getting in touch with Brussel's Bonsai, they sent me a figure the very same day. Excellent customer service. I would definitely buy from Brussel's again.

Dwarf Jade with reflection pool and man fishing
Cute idea, but rather small and the jade tree was not full, but looked hacked
by a child pruner. Very disappointed, as it was a gift to my handicapped husband.
