Here’s a shameless pic of mine!

There’s a chance that you tricked it into thinking it’s spring, for lack of better terms.

It’s something I recently learned about in reference to Jade plants that come inside for winter. If you allow them to get a certain small bit of cold before pulling inside, the temperature shifts will force blooms to occur.

I don’t know much more about it, and I’m sure I’m botching the proper concepts here, but it sounds like what you’re experiencing.

I have a couple larger jade (crassula ovata) plants that live outside in the summer and inside in the winter. This year they both started flowering right as I brought them inside. When I read a bit more about it, it seems like a normal technique/trick that folks use to push out flowers.

I’ve never seen them flower before now! Not sure what else may have the same tendencies.

I’m in the process of bringing inside my couple big jades. Yours is so happy! Great work through and through, that takes a long time. Beautiful!

This is why learning is fun. You’re doing the work of the finest humans. Love to see this and damnit, I want to know more to participate. I think it’s working…

Thanks for sharing for the uninitiated. This has been a delightful community to observe. Excited to learn more.

Also, I think the ‘souls’ in the title really sells me on the idea of a ‘Canadian Souls’ game in the flavor of the Dark Souls universe. So if you want a job in game dev, you might have a solid shot.

I’m excited for you and to follow along! Looks to be a great start of a project.

Sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience! I’m learning that I need to both better organize my photos and find an alternative to imgur for creating/posting albums.

Here’s an album of pictures from a little over a year of growth.

Prior to these pictures it wasn’t much to speak of, just a little cutting in some water or a start in a 4" pot. When they’re that small/young, I do my best to just let them explode with growth prior to poking at them with my ideas and torture.

Again, I appreciate your patience as I get my stuff together! I’m happy to touch on any points with this project or others. Thanks for the interest, this has been a fun project.

Thanks for the kind words! Thread linked here.

I mostly got lucky with the root placement in relation to it’s position on the rock, for what that’s worth. There are two pieces of wire that I used to strap the roots to the rock prior to it being planted. Those seemed to secure 3 (of the maybe 5) roots relatively solidly around the rock. After trimming off a few long roots, I tucked the rest down around and underneath the rock. Filling in the rest of the soil was straightforward.

Prior to this planting I had it growing out in a kind of semi-cascade style. It was initially a small cutting propagated in water, transferred to a 4" nursery pot for about 8 months to establish initial structure, then transferred into a 2x deep 4" pot for the semi-cascade, and now the root over rock. Not a ton of root training on it besides making an initial root flare with the early repots. I definitely lucked out with how it joined up with that rock (that I found in the yard).

Ask away if you have any questions! I could probably dig some pictures up, too if you really care.

Perfectly said. It truly is a shame. My memories of playing PSO on the Dreamcast, ethernet cord strung across the room and all, will always be warm and fuzzy. So at least there’s that.

There are dozens of us. Unfortunately it’s an interest that results in disappointment consistently. Yeehaw Sega milking it!

I’m glad you asked! It turned out pretty decent. I’m still struggling with some of the lower branches, but it’s still mostly a twig, so there’s time.

Thank you! I’m tickled you commented on it, I really enjoyed how it turned out! Thought it was pretty cheeky.

Thank you so much!
