We want to first preface this by saying that bonsai is an art form. How you decide to shape or trim your bonsai is up to you and will be informed by how you want your plant to look.
First, plant the Jade Plant in a shallow pot, about 3"-4" deep, that has a drainage hole. We highly recommend using this Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix as soil. Aim to grow it in partial sun. Only water if the soil is completely dry and the leaves feel flexible. When you do water, deeply drench it until water runs out the pot's drainage hole. Potentially, support the main stem with a skewer.
After about a year in the shallow pot, it's time for the first trim. It's preferable to trim in the spring when your plant is actively growing. Be very aggressive with your pruning. What you're looking for with your first trim is, essentially, to turn your plant into a twig. You'll remove most of the foliage, just be careful not to remove it all. Wherever you prune, the plant will fill that spot with even more foliage. Use this to your advantage by heavily… See full answer »

Jades are pretty standard, compared to other succulents, as far as water needs are concerned. Click the link below to read our care guide on jades.

That depends on what type of plant you're trying to turn into a bonsai tree. Jade plants, like this one, are very easy to take care of.
• Staff Answer
In all likelihood, these are hydathodes. These are small openings into the leaf that allow excess water to leave. They may also function to uptake water from dew or fog. Commonly, as water evaporates from them they will become brown, white or black but, regardless of what their color is, they're harmless and even a part of the leaf.
This has potential to be something more serious, like rot or a less serious but still problematic sunburn. I'm going to attach a link here to an article that goes over dark spots on plants and what they could mean just in case these spots begin affecting the health of the plant over all.

Jades are easy to grow but difficult to flower. They need to grow to maturity first. Then, lots of light and a dilute fertilizer will encourage flowering.
• Staff Answer
Use the rocky succulent mix. That mix will help prevent your jade from rotting as any excess moisture will be allowed to drain.
• Staff Answer
As far as the Jade Plants we sell are concerned, they can all be grown indoors.
Crassula watering is pretty normal for succulents. Soak the soil and then don't water it again until the soil totally dries out and the leaves just start to feel flexible. No need to water much in winter. These plants are very forgiving and shouldn't give you any trouble. I hope this helps!

Succulents are adapted to dry environments so they tend to succumb to rot in enclosed, non-draining terrariums. It is challenging but possible to grow them in open terrariums. You can find tips to make it work at the link below.

Basically, yes. There may be a few exceptions within the genus Crassula, but enough of them are to where it's better not to risk it.
• Staff Answer
We do not list any Crassula as pet safe because some species have been shown to cause mild digestive distress when ingested. You can find all of our pet safe succulents at the link below.
