# I found an old (jade?) plant covered in mites and spiders in a broken…

I found an old (jade?) plant covered in mites and spiders in a broken pot. I think it was abandoned in my neighbors back yard from the previous owners and has been there struggling for 3-4 years, if not more.

I’m hoping this plant can be a intro for me into more advanced gardening and the beginning stages of learning Bonsai. It’s in a cracked pot, but I’m interested in testing my green thumb, and Planta’s Community Groups and plant care reminders.

Fingers crossed for a successful and unique outcome!
