How to make a tiny bonsai, Mame, from a Dwarf Jade cutting!

In this video, we will walk you through how to make a Mame bonsai from a cutting off of your tree!

Mame translates from Japanese as 'bean,' and refers to bonsai sized at or less than 2X2X2".

These little wonders can be created right from propagations, or cuttings from your class tree. In this video, we will walk you through the process of taking a cutting, growing a cutting, and finally moving the rooted cutting into a Mame bonsai pot. From there, the trees can be shaped and trimmed into your desired shape!

When watering your cuttings:
In soil: water the soil thoroughly once it is mostly dry.
In water: change the filtered water every 1-2 days

**Note: The rooted cutting used for this video was well established (approximately 12 months). Once your cuttings produce roots (1-3 months); they can be successfully relocated into a Mame pot.

Please keep an eye out for Mame kits for sale at our classes! We hope you enjoy the video and that you come bonsai with us soon!
