Wow, Jennifer, thank you so much for the awesome information. I have a great love for growing in the bonsai style. Just like you mentioned, the term is a very general term. I have a couple of beautiful Jade that I've trained and pruned. A 5 year and a 3 year old plants. I don't yet have a real "tree" I think this might be perfect! Thanks again for your excellent response to my comment! Long time fan of yours!

Hi Sam. How big are your Jade plants? They sound lovely. I have a couple that are a few years old, but they just won't grow. Plus one Jade that I don't really count, because he is only 2" tall. He has been a midget for at least 2, probably 3 years. He fell off one of my others when the cat stormed the windowsill to watch another cat. I just stuck him in a cactus arrangement and he's been there ever since. He won't budge. They all seem healthy otherwise, but I must be doing something wrong to cause their stunted growth. Perhaps they are lacking an important mineral or soil thing? I'm sure if I spent time reading up on it I'd come across it. Will have to add that to my (long) list of things to research lol. I uploaded a couple pics of my 8 month old Lemon tree, take a peek. Please note the very last picture and tell me if he looks familiar. An old acquaintance Yours. :)

Some of your pictures look like this beautiful tree would be a great candidate for a bonsai. Do you know if this would do well as such? Love this. Thanks for listing!

Hello! I honestly do not know for sure without researching (will do so this afternoon!), but I have a gut feeling that these actually would do well in respect to a bonsai-type perspective. When potted, they do require pruning and trimming to keep smaller, as well as to train into desired shape. I have an 8-month old plant that I will post pics of later today. I believe he is ready to have his first trimming, but I need to read up about exactly where and how to do it.. I am a lil nervous about it. I love these little guys.. they are so green and happy, just full of life. I am really looking forward to having an indoor potted lemon tree, and the idea of it bearing real fruit excites me incredibly lol. I have had these guys outside all summer and they have loved it, but I plan to bring them indoors before it gets too chilly. I will probably set them back outside come late spring. Oh! I forgot to mention in description that they do love the humidity.. which they have had plenty of, here in SC. So will need to mist them regularly when indoors. Thank you Sam for stopping by!

Just found this tidbit (below) on Wiki regarding bonsai's, so yes.. I believe it could very well be applied to these fellas..

...."the term bonsai should be reserved for plants that are grown in shallow containers following the precise tenets of bonsai pruning and training, resulting in an artful miniature replica of a full-grown tree in nature. In the most restrictive sense, "bonsai" refers to miniaturized, container-grown trees adhering to Japanese tradition and principles"....

I also do know, that they need to be in well-draining soil. So they need drainage hole(s) and a water tray below. No wet feet, and let dry out almost completely between waterings. Slightly acidic/lower ph soil. Bright sunny window when indoors. Other than that, they are fairly easy care. :)
