Hi Eve, Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had a giant jade tree. They are very strong and can survive with very little attention. The bonsai jade is also very hearty. Thank you again for your interest in my Haiku. Have a great day and a wonderful Christmas season. Earl

Hi Jan, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The "Tranquil Jade Bonsai" is one of the strongest of the species. They only need a little light, (Never direct sun light) and very little water. Bonsai roots are very fragile. I had one. You could not kill it with a thermonuclear device. I even tried to kill it with love and too much plant food. It refused to die. It only grew fat and greener with envy. Take care. Earl
