So a few days ago I took a cutting of a jade plant outside of my work, I'm current working on rooting it (let it harden, treated with rooting hormone, etc).
My intention was to just keep it as a house plant, since jade is tolerant to indoor growth but I decided to potentially bonsai it instead.
All the readings I have done in regards to jade are just simply too vague, or just copy paste instructions for a regular bonsai (pluck big leaves, keep it pruned, remove branches, etc). That's great and all, but I need to know what to do in the time between now and a bonsai. For example: When, exactly, would be the ideal time to start removing the larger leaves? *Assuming it roots. For the time being it is going to stay in regular old flower pots.
