Best Bonsai for Beginners
Rough-Bark Dwarf Jade Bonsai Starter
Miniature jade are perfect for beginners! Dwarf jade are one of the easiest indoor/outdoor bonsai to grow and maintain. These starters are in 3.5" nursery containers, and have 1/4" trunks, with multiple shoots.
The photos are representative, you will receive plants that look similar, but not identical to these images. Single - 1 plant Two-pack - two plants, Three-pack - three plants. Six-pack - six plants.
These plants are the "corkbark" variety of dwarf jade, which exhibit smooth bark when young but later develop rough bark and interesting textures.
Native to South Africa, the P. Afra - aka Elephant Bush, or "spekboom" gets its name because it's a favorite food of African Elephants. It's a succulent-type plant similar to jade, but with smaller, bright green shiny leaves which are edible.
We recommend that you fertilize regularly, and place your miniature jade in a sunny warm location. It can grow indoors or outdoors in any bright location, but be sure to protect it from freezing temperatures.

Just unpacked my dwarf jade plant. Very nice little specimen with lots of branches and green leaves still intact. This plant arrived in great shape and I'm very satisfied.
The plant arrived in fair to poor condition. I checked the moisture which seemed fine, but there were very few leaves (most were small and not yet mature) on the plant when I opened the box. Within a couple days half of those leaves dropped even though moisture and sun/light conditions were prime.
Shipping a plan across the country is a risk and I took the risk, but I would say I'm not satisfied with what I was delivered - the branches seemed rather undeveloped, seemed small, with few leaves and little ability to revive after shipping.
Plants arrived in good condition
I purchased 3 of these lil things. I understood they are all different, so let's soo what happens over the years. I'm not 100% satisfied with the quality for the price, but let's see. They are much taller than expected, which is a plus for me. One of them is rotted at the base, and most of the branches are dead.
I’m so pleased. I planted my kishu juniper starters, and jade starters, about a month ago. They are all doing extremely well. I’ve purchased five plants in total, including three jade bonsai starters. They are all flourishing. They arrived in good shape, and I am clear across the country from Bonsaify. My jade plants are really taking off with tons of new growth. They are a mixture of deep emerald green, with lots of new growth, and perfect jade coloring. I will definitely be making another purchase from Bonsaify.
