Dwarf Jade

The Dwarf Jade or “elephant plant” is tropical native to South Africa and one of the most desirable bonsai among beginners. That is because the Dwarf jade is incredible tolerant, requiring nothing more than a little water and lots of sun – much like any house plant.

Its fleshy trunk, branches, and leaves help the Dwarf Jade store water for long periods of time. The nickname “elephant plant” comes from its attraction to elephants. In feeding frenzies, the animals have been known to strip the leaves and branches off of the “elephant plant” which, a few weeks later, are already revived with a mantle of green.

The Dwarf Jade is a hard tree to keep down. Its adaptability and easy growing qualities makes it an excellent beginner's tree, especially for the forgetful caretaker. It can handle low light and tolerates short periods of dryness. A great choice for the home or office!

A ceramic pot chosen to compliment the Dwarf Jade Bonsai is included with your order, along with a bonsai care guide to help you maintain the health of your tree.

Every bonsai is unique, and so we provide care instructions written for the unique requirements of your bonsai tree. While training a bonsai tree may be a bit more challenging than caring for a common house plant, it by no means requires a sophisticated “green thumb.” Following a few simple guidelines can make for a healthy bonsai tree and happy owner.

We are experts who want to guarantee that you receive a healthy and happy tree. The Bonsai Outlet is a family-owned business with only your satisfaction in mind. We love bonsai, and we want you to love them, too.
