Hello Planta community 💕

I’ve been growing this baby jade plant from a propagated cutting for about 2 years now and am now wanting to guide it to taking on a bonsai structure but had no idea what would be the ideal pruning method to start this process.

If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, any feedback would be greatly welcome!!!

Hi Mimi if you break off a leaf it will grow back as a branch. Also if you cut the branch two will grow back, one from each node like a Y shape
