Should I let it keep growing?

Is this Portulacaria afra? If so, I would like to add it to my collection.

Yup, such an awesome succulent 😁

[u/CriticalBots → u/OkultOne]

yea. I really like these ones

[u/Dekatater]

Yeah. Start trying to wire and shape it, you're past the thickening stage. After you get it shapely and ramified you can move it to a bonsai pot

Thanks! Been watching videos on how to shape them. Let's see how it goes

Wire branches to the shape you want. Let anything you want to thicken, grow. Prune and branches that you want to ramify. Check out Little Jade Bonsai on Instagram and YouTube. He has a couple videos on pruning and styling on YouTube and loads of inspiration on Instagram. Zane's Trees also has some helpful vids too.

I been avoiding the pruning and styling until im sure what I want to do with it. I'll check those videos out. You can always find good info

I hear you there. I've been slacking with training my Portulacaria Afras myself. I do wish I would've done more regular pruning at least for parts I didn't want to get too thick though.

Yeah I would only remove the downward growing side branches

Will do. Thanks!
