Crassula as Bonsai in India
February 5th, 2007 by Peter Chan
The small leaf Crassula which is grown extensively in India is excellent material for bonsai.
It has a compact habit, develops a thick trunk and takes to wiring very well.
Being a succulent, it does not require a lot of water and propagates ever so easily.
Lovely looking specimens can be created in a relatively short time (two to three years) from nursery material.
I have often come across massive plants over 4ft tall and with trunks as much as 6 or 7 inches in diameter. Here is one such specimen.
Peter,
These are wonderful pictures.
When you say “small leaf crassula”, are these actually crassula or are they portulacaria afra?
